About the Event

Dracula is dead and his clan is scattered.

Having reigned unchallenged and undisputed for centuries, the matter of who will succeed him as the head of the Great Vampiric Council is on every vampire's lips. 

The surviving clans and houses have agreed to put aside their differences and elect this new leader. The Natural History Museum on Halloween night has been chosen to allow the vampires and creatures of the night to move unseen. But with so many key vampires in one place, and centuries of rivalries, it might not be a peaceful night.

YOU are invited to join this historic moment.

Council meets are an illustrious affair. While centuries of politics, rivalries and back-staking boils, as a Guest of the Council you can expect to:

  • Interact with key individuals, from Creepy Companions to Vampiric Lords trying to secure your support.

  • Take part in courtly dancing sessions and lessons with our string quartet.

  • Pay your respects to the recently deceased (again) Dracula.

  • Participate in a Quiz Quest to find the next Keeper of Knowledge.

  • Cast your vote to elect the new Head of the Vampiric Council.

  • Be on your guard against hunters from the Order of the Undying Flame.

  • And more!

Or you can just enjoy the atmosphere, being in the fabulous Natural History Museum out of hours for a Halloween Celebration like no other.

How to blend in

This sort of event is unprecedented and the fact that lycans, witches and even humans will be in attendance is shocking to some of the more traditional clans. To ensure your survival it is encouraged you attend in costume to blend in.

You can pledge allegiance to a specific House or Clan or even wear a traditional Halloween costume to assist the Council to hide in plain sight. 

Here are a list of suggestions, and information about the Houses and Clans in attendance vying for your vote.

Book your ticket

There are limited tickets available for this event and they can be purchased from the Natural History Museum website.
