Villains & Vanity Ball, Edinburgh

VILLAINS & VANITY: A Women's Only Fantasy Ball
Thursday 21st May 2027 · 7:00pm – 11:30pm · Mansfield Traquair, Edinburgh

For too long the realm's villains have been scattered: feuding over territory, plotting alone in cold towers, while the heroes take all the glory. Divided, we were never a threat. United, we are a reckoning.

So the call has gone out to every sorceress, pirate queen, bargain-trading fae and necromancer in the realm. One night. One city. One realm, finally whole.

A night made for women, by women
Villains & Vanity is a women's only event. It's a room full of women dressed to the nines, dancing without self-consciousness, making friends across the room and taking up space. Come solo or bring your coven. Either way, you'll leave with new allies.

Your ticket includes

• Exclusive access of Mansfield Traquair for the evening, 7:00pm–11:30pm 
• A welcome drink on arrival (alcohol-free option available)
• Roaming bowl food throughout the night
• Your House Pin, so you can spot your fellow Villains across the room
• A live band with dance callers guiding every step, so no experience is needed
• A DJ to bring the dancing to a close at the end of the evening
• A quest card to chart your course through the evening
• Side quests unlocked on arrival (some surprises are worth keeping)
• A curated Edinburgh weekend guide with local discounts on accommodation, restaurants, shops and experiences
• Access to a private portal for dietary requirements, House sign-up, and a chat room to meet your fellow Villains before the ball
