The programme, times and contribution for the 2027 edition will be published here. To take part you need a Borghese Social Club membership card for the current year: it costs €5 and is valid until 31 December.

How to take part

  1. Get your card

    Fill in the online application, typing in your personal email yourself. Check it carefully: your email is your membership card code and, if it contains a mistake, your card will not reach you.

  2. Receive your QR code

    You receive a unique QR code, linked to you rather than to a single evening. It is valid until 31 December of the year you join.

  3. Book the evening

    When we open bookings, your package is loaded onto your personal QR code. Simply show it at the entrance.

Frequently asked questions

When do bookings open?

We will announce them here a few weeks before 31 October. Places are limited and the last edition sold out: it is worth getting your card in good time, as the application can take a few working days.

Do I need a membership card to take part?

Yes. Palazzo Borghese is private and its events are reserved for members of the Borghese Social Club. The card costs €5 and is valid from the day you join until 31 December of the same year.

Can I get in without booking?

No. Those who have not booked cannot enter in any way: entry is only with the personal QR code that holds your booking.

What should I wear?

The dress code is horror.

Is there an age limit?

Entry is reserved for adult members. For parties the recommended age is over 25.

Can I smoke in the rooms?

No, smoking is not permitted anywhere in the palazzo. Security staff may remove anyone who does not respect this rule.
