Midnight at the Museum – The Grand Heist 

When the final visitors leave and the doors close, the museum does not fall silent, it comes alive. 

On Saturday, 9th May 2026, Wolfson College invites you beyond the velvet ropes and into a world of hidden galleries, priceless artefacts, and carefully guarded secrets. Under warm golden light, statues gleam with stolen jewels, ancient relics lie exposed, and whispers of a grand heist drift through the halls. 

This year’s ball is an after-hours museum masquerade, where elegance meets intrigue. Beneath chandeliers and among treasures from across centuries, guests will dine, dance, and disappear into the night, never quite certain who is guest, accomplice, or mastermind. 

Expect immersive spaces, live entertainment, and an atmosphere charged with mystery. Whether you arrive as a silent thief, a masked curator, or an unsuspecting guest, one thing is certain, when midnight strikes, the heist begins. 

🎭 Bring your mask 🎭 
  Arrive on time. 
  Leave with stories worth stealing. 

The museum opens after dark, and nothing inside is quite as it seems.
