Fright Night Fancy Dress Ball: After Midnight

The final hour of Robin Hill’s Fright Night Fancy Dress Ball runs from midnight to 1am on 1 November, under the original Halloween ticket.

Fright Night Fancy Dress Ball: After Midnight covers the closing hour at Robin Hill in Downend near Newport, from midnight to 1am on Sunday 1 November. The Halloween party begins at 7pm on Saturday 31 October and carries on across midnight under one ticket. This is the tail end of that adults-only Isle of Wight evening. If you’re arranging a collection or taxi, give the Sunday date for the 1am finish so nobody mixes up the night.

The full programme has The Night Crawlers and a DJ, with the ball in the Woodland Ponds all-weather marquee. Guests arrive via the Cursed Woods Scare Trail, and the ticket includes a cocktail with canapés on arrival. A cheese grazing board is available from 10pm. Those arrangements cover the whole night. No running order is published, so ask Robin Hill which act plays in the closing hour, and whether any food service continues after midnight.

The same age limit of 18 and over applies to this late-night music party throughout. Full-event earlybird tickets start at £19.50 plus a booking fee, with a £24.50 standard option. Pack warm clothing into your fancy-dress plan, for the woodland setting and the trip home. This Sunday hour follows Saturday’s party on the same admission. No midnight admission offer is specified, so check entry arrangements with the organiser before planning a late arrival.
