Lady Lilith de Tempscire's Grand Masked Ball and Carnivale
From the desk of Sacharissa Cripslock
The Times is pleased to announce that the social event of the season known as the Gala Dinner will be graciously hosted by Lady Lilith de Tempscire. The 2026 dinner will be held at Genua Castle on the evening of Saturday April 11. The theme is Masked Ball and attendees should dress in costume or evening wear. Bu-Bubble advises that dresses in eau de nil are very much in vogue this summer.
Regular readers of The Times will be familiar with Gala Dinners, sophisticated yet spirited events that blend formal elegance with engaging entertainment to create an unforgettable evening. This year, the dinner will be a two-course meal and feature an individual gift, special table centerpieces and interactive games to amuse and delight.
I spoke with another well-known Genuan personality, Ella Saturday who said "Personally, I prefer the colour and liveliness of Carnivale, so in that spirit I’m arranging for a dance floor and some music for attendees to trip the light fantastic. And, just off the record, for fiction superfans there may be an opportunity to mingle with some of the special guests who are attending the Con in person."
Tickets (set at a very reasonable $AM85) are currently available in the shop, but only until 13 March 2026. Tickets may sell out beforehand, so The Times recommends getting in while you can.
