Opening Times

Masquerade eye masks originate from Venice and were used to hide the wearer's identity during carnival time. They were even banned at some points as they allowed all sorts of hedonistic activities to take place between people of all social classes. Romantic encounters, unlikely friendships or even to criminal activities could take place under the disguise of an eye mask. The possibilities were limitless and no doubt appealing in a more restrictive age.

Eye masks fancy dress parties are becoming popular as they let people have a bit of fun without spending a lot of money. You could allow guests to purchase their own masks or hand them out as they arrive so you know who is who even if they do not. It is always advisable to buy a few spares as the party is most fun if everyone participates. The masks are fixed to the face using a head band and elastic strap or held on to the face with a stick, which means even the most elaborate hair styles are catered for.
