The Belfast Books & Ballgowns 2025 fantasy ball was probably the most fun i’ve ever had at a ball. The after party was so emotional for me, when I got to see everything me and my team had worked so hard for coming together, and everyone having the time of their lives. This is something that I cannot wait to experience with everyone again.
Theme: ‘Fairest of them all - Bookish heroes and villains’
Note: Please note, you do NOT have to follow the theme with your attire. The theme is so you know what the room will be dressed like, but you are welcome to dress however you please! Though, I will say that if you DO come dressed to theme, it is ‘bookish’ heroes and Villains, so please do not come in anything DC or Marvel related. This is a bookish event, Comic con has enough events for comic book things. Thank you!

For 2027 we are going to change up some things. There will be MORE performances though the night. We will be moving all of the photo opportunities into the Library Bar, so we can use the space in the ballroom for more tables and chairs. Instead of appetizers (Savoury snacks) we are going to have a whole array of desserts and snacks! Budget permitting, we are going to try to have a live harpist or violin player downstairs for the photo opportunity’s, where we will have even MORE back drops and areas for you to get all of the photos that you like. These will be self manned photo areas, so you will have ample time to take as many photos as you need. The 360 photo booth will be manned by someone so they will take care of you when it comes to that part! <3

It ends at around 1am.
