Fantasy Ball Market - The Dark Fae Masquerade Ball
Oct

4:00 PM16:00

Fantasy Ball Market - The Dark Fae Masquerade Ball

Date: October 3 2026, 7.30pm - 1.00am
Location: Box Hill Town Hall
Tickets from: $300
Includes: pre-event workshops, underground ball room fantasy market from 4pm, entertainment & curated packages

Like nothing we have ever hosted before, this immersive ball, market, live entertainment and outright party will be the biggest and best event in our 10 years of fantasy service.

“For centuries, the realms have stood divided, but tonight the veil thins and they gather as one…

The boundaries between worlds begin to blur. Magic stirs. Old rivalries surface from worlds long forgotten.

Beneath shadow and starlight, they return, summoned to a court long hidden from mortal sight.

At its centre stands the last of her kind.

The Dark Fae Queen.

There are whispers of a prophecy, older than memory. Of a world set to fracture unless the ancient powers rise again in unity.

Four realms. Four rulers. One night to decide who will lead… and who will fall.

Yet not all who dwell between worlds are so willing to let fate unfold untouched.

From the depths, the Tide Oracles rise.

The merfolk will set the quests. They will test the merit of all. Only the strongest soul will be crowned regent of their realm.

The Tide Oracles.

Merfolk of the ancient deep.

We are seers of the deep, knowing what stirs before it rises. What comes before it is spoken.

Loyal, powerful, and quietly dangerous, our skin shimmers like the moonlit ocean.

Long ago, a bargain was struck between our kind and the Dark Fae Queen.

Now, it calls us back to her court to assess all who gather… and to collect what is owed.

Within the ballroom, a space will be ours.

A place where favour may be earned… or withheld.

Where offerings are laid, and secrets are whispered.

All who enter will feel our gaze.

We will set the trials. We will shape the path. We will decide who is worthy of favour… and who is not.

For those who earn our blessing, there may be protection beneath the tides.

For those who do not—

The ocean remembers.

And it does not return what it claims.
