The (Greatness Of The Magnificence) Fantasy Orchestra

Wigs, Tails and Feathers - To celebrate the summer solstice and a year and a half of existence The Fantasy Orchestra Bristol presents its Midsummer Ball in sumptuous surroundings.

The venue, Kings Weston House (which was never used by Charles the 2nd in his escape from Cromwell in 1678 though he passed nearby) is a fancy old Georgian mansion overlooking the Severn estuary. So please come dressed ready for the libertine restoration which was soon to follow said flight. Pre-victorian Jane Austen / Blackadder (the 3rd) attire would be perfect.

For reasons pertaining to an element of surprise the details must remain secret but please be intrigued by these words: chamber welcome; scaramouche; ku ku ka-do; freak-out; Tom bo li de say de moi ya.

DJ sets from Bishop Pencilface and John Stapleton his honour.

6-8pm - picnic on the vast and luscious grounds. Croquet may be involved.
8pm - doors open.
8:01-11:59pm - all-round joy and mayhem.
Midnight - turn into a pumpkin and find your way back home.
