Come dressed to impress, whether your style is spooky, glamorous, mysterious or completely over the top, and prepare for a night where Halloween spectacle meets an important community cause.

Past Haunted Masquerade events have brought together incredible costumes, festive cocktails, unforgettable scares and guests who know how to celebrate Halloween in style.

This year, we are doing it all again with even more thrills waiting behind the mask.

This year, we are doing it all again with even more thrills waiting behind the mask.
