Dubbed as one of "Europe's largest and most hedonistic" Halloween parties, this year's Halloween Masked Ball was a screaming success.
The 2017 event, taking place once again at Flambards in Helston, celebrated its seventh year on Saturday by adopting the seven deadly sins as its theme.
Pride, envy, gluttony, sloth, lust, greed and wrath all made an appearance in a maze of themed areas, which also included two new stages: The Altar, featuring live music and performance, and the Sin Stage - a journey into techno madness.
Also new this year was Sloth – a bedouin shisha chill-out lounge offering a respite from the chaos.
Masked Ball director Kelvin Batt said beforehand: “We’re looking forward to the new areas, with more bands appearing on the bill. These, and other added, extras will make a difference to everyone’s Halloween experience.”
More than 100 acts performed this year, including roaming theatre acts and fire throwers.
The camping area was enlarged and extended to enable more people to stay over, with the facilities open until 5pm the following day.
All the park's rides remained open into the evening, including the new Sky-Force 3G spinner.
There's no rest for the wicked, however, as early tickets are now available for the Spring Masked Ball, taking place between May 25 and 27 next year, as always on the clifftops near Porthleven.
Last year’s ball went on magical mystery tour of micro-venues – featuring a 1920s speakeasy club, a 1970s New York disco and a 1980s Bristol dub club. The theme this year is still under wraps, but first tickets are now on sale at maskedball.net.
