Step into the shadows for an evening of dark elegance, haunting beauty and avant-garde anarchy at this year’s ‘Castlemaine Gothic’-themed Spring Ball.

Embrace the mystery, melancholy and majesty of the Castlemaine Town Hall. Marvel at its dramatic beauty. Party like it’s 1899!

Take inspiration from turn-of-the-century artistic movements and aesthetics with gothic sensibilities: from the morally morbid to the sublime, from post-punk to haunting decay, anything goes at the Spring Ball!

Expect opulence.

Expect divine special guest singers and dancers.

Expect enigmatic projections.

Expect the unexpected!

Glide around the dance floor to everyone’s favourite cover band, the Castlemaine Idyll Band.

Groove along with DJs Toby Heydon (yes, that’s right—the mayor) and Jen Moore!

Castlemaine Community House will run a bar with drinks and gothic-themed cocktails at friendly prices; a light supper will also be provided. Memories of the night can be captured at the free photobooth.

Don’t miss out!
