Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
St Augustine's was a fabulous venue and the guests rose to the challenge determined to be part of the immersive vampire theme promoted.
Conversely we spent a lot of time queuing at the small bars which were not set up for the 500 strong guests and whilst queuing, there was no music or entertainment to distract and the space had little seating for relaxation.
The entertainment in the crowded alter room was niche and more Pat Pong than Gothic. The dance music was electro swing and standard club rather than Gothic rock, dark wave or similar which would have been a more appropriate for the assembled vampires. An expensive and sadly disappointing evening.

Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
Beautiful venue personally think dance floor should've been in middle which was large area and bars at back very long Que s music was ok for some parts but dj Carly didn't read room and even when asked him to play some stuff to get people dancing he wouldn't. Amazing costumes and meet some brilliant people. Also 2 loos for ladies with ball gowns not good

Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
We had a lovely evening at the ball. Everyone made so much effort with their vampy outfits. There were several performances that were very entertaining and the dancing was fun but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. My wife's highlight was dancing the Thriller in a ball gown.

Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
This event was poorly organised. The only good thing was the st augstines venue was lovely and the attendees had put in lots of effort with costumes.
Huge queues for the bar 30mins +, charged £10 for alcohol punch that had very little / couldn't taste the alcohol in. No music in half of the venue. The performances you couldn't see due to too many people / not on high enough stages .
The DJ music was disappointing , too much obscure house , didn't fit the vibe of the crowd. Half of the crowd had left before midnight. Really disappointing event poorly organised by glow wings. Would like a refund on tick*t cost if glow wings read this, but I understand they have made themselves uncontacble on the event page.

Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
The Bad:
Unfortunately the bar staff let the event down. I felt like I was in a queue for half the time I was there. I hope you get some money back from the main bar's poor serving performance. I missed most of the performances due to this.
Where were the walk about characters? They could of been a fun distraction during the loooong and slooow queuing.
The good:
The atmosphere was fantastic. It was great to see so many people dressed up. The staff were friendly and lovely despite the technical issues and bar issues.
I think you need more to do when not watching the performances. There was a backdrop to take photos and a coffin. I couldn't see much else.
The stage needs to be higher as I, as a tall man, couldn't see much of what was happening.
I look forward to next year!

Review of The Vampire Ball - Brighton 1st November
The event was lack lustre and uneventful. It was amazing to see the effort that people had made in dressing up as vampires, but this was the only amazing! Lack of entertainment, long queues for drinks and basically the ticket price was just paying for the privilege to stand around or stand in a queue.
Canât leave a review on the event page on Facebook as the organiser has removed their post.
