This year 9th November 2024 will mark the 10th and last ever Halloween Masked Ball

What started as a started as a small party on the cliffs of Porthleven in 2006 quickly turned into an iconic event in the south of Cornwall with a special mix of community, hedonism and top acts that have earned the events a loyal following and legendary status.

Based at Los Flambardos – a sprawling theme park, just outside of Helston – the Halloween Masked Ball has now grown to become one of the largest Halloween parties in Europe with the dedication to costume and outlandish dress equalling only the tenacity to party.

We caught up with organiser and ‘Leven surfer Kev to find out his favourite memories over the years.

“I can’t believe we’ve actually made it to our tenth Halloween, ten years of love, wild costumes, camels, dancing and some truly amazing chaos- it’s been an unreal ride. Thanks for being there with us on it. here are my favourite moments from the balls gone by”


1) 5am till 6 am – Just love the shinigans going on at that time, the antics get wilder, people get extra silly, and you can make some of the best memories and new friends at this time.


2) The costumes, we get to see some of the most inventive and elaborate outfits, from classic horror themes to wild and imaginative get-ups. We love the commitment people make.


3 ) The ballers, never known a crowd like it. They’re always up for it, and it’s what really makes the ball what it is.

4) The music, we can safely say we have had pretty much every genre play at the Ball. If you look hard enough you will find it. from Andy C to Ben Howard to Becky Hill. It’s truly amazing.

5) The team, getting to be able to work with so many friends and like-minded people over the years is truly special. Not many can say they’re still working with their childhood friends, and that’s a rare and rewarding experience.

6) The money we’ve managed to give out over the years and projects we’ve helped – super stoked we’ve been able to help with stuff , from Xmas lights to helping build a school kitchen.

If you want an amazing night out on Halloween there is literally no better place to be!
