Never heard of Glitterball before? It’s Oxford’s only LGBTQ+ ball and it’s open for anyone from the Oxford Community to come and party. On February 23rd 2024, we’re taking over Oxford Town Hall and turning it into an Enchanted Forest for an evening of music, performances, food, free-flowing drinks and queer celebration. If you have heard of Glitterball you’ll know it’s a party you don’t want to miss, and this year we’re upping the antics even higher than before.

The party takes places from 19:00 – 01:00 across multiple rooms in the Town Hall. We’ve got two stages with an amazing line up including drag acts, bands, high-energy performers and DJs that we’ll be revealing in the run up to the ball. Throughout the night, there’ll be a variety of food options and you can drink to your heart’s content. Everything is included in your ticket price so you don’t have to worry about paying for any extras, just turn up and party.
