The Royal Versailles Ball 2021

The Royal Versailles Ball: Monday 31 May 2021, Versailles, France

On Monday 31 May 2021, a spectacular Ball will be held in one of the most famous, exclusive and majestic venues in the entire world. The Royal Versailles Ball will be held at The Palace of Versailles, marking 166 years since Queen Victoria’s visit to Versailles and on her 202nd birth day anniversary.

This once-in-a-lifetime event will pay homage to Napoleon III’s original Ball of 1855 and will bring together an illustrious guest list (by invitation only) from all around the world, for an unforgettable night of fine food, music and Scottish reeling, within the magnificent setting of one of the most breath-taking palaces in the world.

The guest list of 1,100 includes European royalty and aristocracy, members of the Scottish reeling community and blue-chip corporations. They will enjoy dinner in the Palace’s Orangerie, followed by reeling, fireworks and a silent auction. The VIP guests will also enjoy a concert in the Hall of Mirrors, along with a private tour of the palace.

The Royal Versailles Ball will be held in aid of Street Child, a registered charity that provides educational opportunities for some of the most vulnerable children in Asia and Africa.
