The final countdown to the the largest and most risqué Halloween ball in Europe has begun.

Inspired by New York's infamous Coney Island, Flambards has been transformed into a freaky funfair with a plethora of sideshows featuring a menagerie of human marvels, all set to a blistering soundtrack.

Masked Ball director, Kelvin Batt, said: “This year we have spent more on theatre and production than we have on musical acts, to immerse the people in the 12 hours of Masked Ball madness. It’s all about the experience. This must be the only Halloween ball in a working theme park, where the rides are free.”

The Grand Ballroom, hosted by drum and bass aficionados Hospitality, is a big top with a bass heavy system showcasing the sounds of the UK’s best breakbeat talent, including Camo & Krooked, Metrik, Danny Byrd, NU:TONE, Krakota and special guest LTJ Bukem.

Bugged Out, seasoned purveyors of legendary club nights across the UK, are taking over the Coney Island Stage for the biggest freakout this side of NYC. Aside from killer sets from Hot Chip, Ewan Pearson, Drums of Death and Ghost Culture, the Coney Island Stage will live up to its namesake with jaw-dropping live freak show acts.

The Halloween Masked Ball will be at Flambards, Helston on Saturday, October 29.
