Midnight Masquerade Ball

Our President, Professor Léon Laulusa, and the UK Dean, Professor Marie Taillard, warmly invite you to join them at The Midnight Masquerade Ball, our London Student Gala for 2026, on 13th March.

One of the most anticipated moments in the London Campus social calendar, the Annual Student Gala is a night when our community comes together to celebrate the creative energy, international spirit and pioneering mindset that define ESCP.

As we mark the 21st edition of the Gala in London, this year’s celebration has been reimagined in an expanded format, welcoming even more students and unveiling a new and enchanting masquerade experience.

This year’s Gala will take place at The Brewery, a bold and historic London venue whose striking architecture and atmospheric spaces provide the perfect setting for an evening of elegance, mystery, and transformation. Beneath its vaulted ceilings, guests are invited to step into a world where identities blur, conversations spark, and the night unfolds with intrigue.

Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a sparkling reception, where drinks and roaming canapés set the tone for a night of dancing and celebration.

Expect curated entertainment, interactive experiences, and artistic surprises throughout the night that bring the magic of the masquerade to life. Professional photographers will be present to capture your portraits and spontaneous moments, with all photos available for you to enjoy and share after the event.

As the clock nears twelve, we invite you to gather with fellow guests for a special midnight surprise, a moment crafted exclusively for this year’s celebration and one you will not want to miss.

The evening will continue late into the night, with our DJ ensuring the dance floor remains alive with energy and excitement.
