The Night of The Ashalon: Private Poker & Wine Mixer

A hidden world comes alive in London this autumn.Nine elite poker players take their seats in a grand exhibition — a staggering 2.25 million in chips on the table. The blinds stand at 500/1000, the clock runs for four relentless hours, and when it strikes 11, only one will hold the largest stack.

But the true prestige? It belongs to the guests.You are invited not merely to spectate, but to experience. The Night of The Ashalon is both a private poker game and a wine mixer, designed for those who value elegance, intrigue, and purpose.

Your attendance is the donation.Guests may enter free of charge, as our donor will contribute £10 for every guest who attends towards the research of Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder (DPDR) and mental health. By simply being present, you are directly advancing awareness and change.

The evening offers more:

  • Guests will be greeted with a complimentary welcome drink on arrival.

  • Network and mingle among fellow attendees, strengthening your connections, elevating your profile, and expanding your influence both in person and across social media.

  • Our official photographer will capture the night, ensuring you are remembered at one of London’s most prestigious charity gatherings. Your images released free of charge via cloud storage.

  • With a £10 raffle entry, you could win a rare gemstone, courtesy of The Ashalon Gemology.

  • Every guest will leave with a personal gift of thanks, a token of appreciation for being part of this cause.

To preserve the intimacy and integrity of the night, potential guests must complete a short questionnaire before private invitations are confirmed.

Wine will flow, connections will spark, and the whispers of the cards will echo long after the night concludes.

The Night of The Ashalon is not just an event, but an experience few will ever forget.
