The St. Andrew's Society of Seoul is thrilled to announce the 2024 St. Andrew's Ball!
|
🗓️ Date: 29 November, 7PM~4AM 📍Where: Conrad Seoul Hotel 👗Dress Code: Black-Tie/Formal Kilt Click the link above to buy tickets! More info below |
|
Taking place at the Conrad Seoul Hotel, men don traditional kilts (or for the non-Scot, suits or tuxedos) and ladies wear their finest dresses for a black tie event featuring Scottish fare, whisky, and dancing!
No, your eyes did not deceive you, this is an all-night affair! Most St. Andrew's Balls held by other Societies around the world conclude before midnight. However, our ball ends at 4AM the next morning and a survivors breakfast awaits those as their reward for staying the course. This tradition harks back to the days when Seoul had a curfew, resulting in the celebration continuing on until the wee hours of the morning.
For those new to traditional Scottish dancing or those who need to brush up on the dancing learned in their school days, we offer free dance practices at the British Embassy in the weeks leading up to the ball. For more information about the dances we teach, check out our "Traditional Scottish Dancing" pages.

Where is the Conrad Seoul Hotel?
서울 영등포구 국제금융로 10

What should I wear?
Men should wear a dinner suit or a tuxedo with bow tie. Kilts with a formal jacket are also highly encouraged for Scots!
Ladies: Ballgowns, long or shorter length. Keep in mind that you will be dancing, so we recommend that the hem is not so long that it touches the floor with flat dancing shoes on. It is also recommended to bring practical, soft flat shoes for dancing.
You can look through some of the 2023 St. Andrew's Ball Photos to get some ideas.
