The Dark Side of Love: Valentine's Masked Ball

Anyone wanting to get soppy with their beloved on Valentine's Day: best avoid this party. It celebrates the darker side of love and the freakier elements of Valentine's Day. As the organisers put it: 'the origins of this holiday of cupids and confectionary are, in fact, shrouded by a dark, macabre history of sacrifice and flagellation.' So if you want a twisted February 14, head to this masked ball and revel in the debauchery. There'll also be DJs soundtracking the freaky fun. Just to clarify: it's not an orgy, okay?
