On October 30, 2025, Bran Castle opens its ancient gates for Halloween's Ultimate Vampire Ball.

Additional Information - How This Event Compares to others:
Most of the scheduled Bran Castle Halloween events will occur after Halloween, on November 1, will be held outside in tents. Their structure is perfect for those wishing to be amongst a large crowd, with thousands of people. We are different!
This Vampire Ball on October 30 is entirely different:
Held inside the castle walls, not outside in tents
Limited to 100 guests only (vs. thousands)
Includes a candlelit dinner, not just finger food
Touring the castle is comfortable, at your own pace, with your own wonder. No crowds, just a few that share your curiosity and awe.
Features a midnight witches’ ritual—exclusive to this event
Guided storytelling, theatrical performance and premiere of Role-Playing game, “Vampire’s Guests”, all led by our Master of Ceremony, Dacre Stoker
