St Andrews Charities Masquerade Ball, Friday

Official tickets sales may be over, but St. Andrews’ Facebook-based resale game is always strong, and for those of you trying to decide whether to try and get a ticket last minute or not- do it. A re-imagining of the Charities Big Top Ball, Friday night Lower College Lawn will become a Masquerade Ball- a night of fancy dress and mystery that will raise money for the Charities Campaign. Apparently, the event will feature a unique ‘Masquerade Cocktail’, which sounds like something we should all be trying.
