The festivities will begin with an official welcome and champagne reception, where attendees will be treated to a selection of live performances to set the stage for the night ahead. Guests will then be led to the gala dinner where they will be served a range of delicious dishes and fine wines, accompanied by a spectacular show featuring internationally acclaimed singers, musicians and dancers.
Prepare to step into a world of elegance and timeless glamour as The Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses comes to The Dorchester in London on April 26. ASMALLWORLD Members are all invited to take part in the regal affair, designed to capture the spirit of a modern-day fairy tale. The evening will feature an exclusive cocktail reception, gala dinner, grand ball, and a glamourous after-party that will continue into the early hours.
LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT ACCOMPANY THE DINNER
As the clock strikes 11:30pm, the grand ball will commence, and guests will be invited to waltz across the floor. Unlike Cinderella’s experience, at midnight the ballroom will be transformed into an even more vibrant scene for the after-party, featuring a renowned resident DJ from Buddha Bar Monte-Carlo.
BALL GUESTS DANCE ALL NIGHT LONG
This exclusive event draws in a distinguished crowd of royal and social elite, plus business leaders, luxury brands and influential media. Honouring the event’s heritage, gentlemen are invited to don military ceremonial uniforms or white/black tie, while ladies are encouraged to wear ball gowns or floor-length dresses, complete with a tiara. A portion of the event's proceeds will be donated to the Princess Grace of Monaco Foundation, ensuring that the evening leaves a lasting impact.
There are three ticket levels for the event: Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby. Tickets with higher price tags include more exclusive opportunities and access to VIP areas. All tickets include access to the full programme, the welcome cocktail, the gala dinner with a selection of wines and water, as well as the artistic shows, ball, and after-party.
