Yes, we’ll be serving delicious bacon butties (with vegan/veggie and GF options) as a snack during the evening. However, we do recommend that guests have a bite to eat before the Ball. While we don’t offer a sit-down meal at The Reel Thing, as our focus is on maximising dancing time, there will be a bar and tables in the venue where you can relax and enjoy the evening at your own pace.

YES! This is one of the Reel Thing's USPs, and this time will be no different. Open Party tickets will be on sale soon - watch this space!
Not sure what the Open Party is? It’s an exclusive group/party that WE organise for those individuals who want to come to the Ball without having to organise a group of their own. At Reel Thing Balls, we believe everyone should have the chance to enjoy Scottish reeling - it’s as simple as that. Join us in the Open Party and you'll experience a night of huge fun and camaraderie, where you can mingle, make new friends and fill in your dance cards with like-minded reelers.

The Open Party is an exclusive group organized by The Reel Thing Ball for individuals or smaller groups who want to join the fun without having to organize a full party. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the event, meet new people, and experience Scottish reeling in a welcoming and lively environment. Whether you're coming solo or with a few friends, the Open Party offers a chance to mingle and fill your dance cards with enthusiastic reelers!
-
The Ball is open to all reelers aged 18 and over. This is because all tickets include prosecco and wine.
In previous years guests have ranged in age from 18-80yrs, with most in their 20s and 30s.
-
In a word, "Yes!". You don't need to be the world's best reeler (this is not Strictly-Come-Reeling!) but you will be expected to have a good grasp of the main reels. If you need to get some practice in beforehand, check out @londonreels_ or @pgt_reels for their upcoming dates. And then YOU will enjoy it so much more :-) 💃🕺
-
All ticket buyers will be contacted in mid October and asked where you would like your dance cards to be sent to, in advance of the Ball. We can send these via Royal Mail so that you and your party can fill them in before you arrive at the Ball.
Alternatively, you can choose to collect them on the night at the venue and fill them in at the drinks reception before the first dance.
The choice is yours!
-
Unfortunately, tickets are non-refundable. However, you can transfer or sell your ticket to somebody else if you are unable to attend. As long as they know how to reel!

The Reel Thing Ball is absolutely a reeling ball—*but not just any reeling ball*! We’ve taken the classic Scottish reeling experience and elevated it to new heights. Imagine an evening filled with the most exhilarating reeling dances, led by the fantastic Supergrouse band, in one of London’s most stunning venues.
But here’s where it gets even better: While most reeling balls offer a 45-minute break in the middle, we turn that interval into something extraordinary. During the halftime break, you’ll be treated to an exclusive, high-energy concert by the world-renowned Red Hot Chilli Pipers—the most famous pipe band on the planet!
So, is this a reeling ball? Absolutely, and it’s the best one on the circuit because of this unique, electrifying halftime treat. And just when you think the night couldn’t get any better, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers will join Supergrouse for an unforgettable Grand Finale Reel of the 51st, the stuff of reeling legend!
This is the ultimate reeling experience, with a show-stopping twist that makes The Reel Thing Ball stand out head and shoulders above the rest.
