EYES WIDE SHUT – THE CHRISTMAS RITUAL
DECEMBER 12, 2026 | TURIN

There are nights that return.

And then there are nights that, when they come back, take on a completely different face.

​

On December 12, EYES WIDE SHUT will reopen the doors of its castle just outside Turin for a new Libertine Queen experience.

This time, however, it will be different.

It will be Christmas.
But not the Christmas you know.

A grand illuminated tree in the heart of the castle.
Anonymous gifts. Masks. Cloaks. Clues.

And one special present hidden among all the others.

​

EYES WIDE SHUT – THE CHRISTMAS RITUAL transforms one of Christmas’s simplest traditions — exchanging gifts — into one of the most special moments of the evening.

​

THE GIFT RITUAL

This year, the gift exchange will become an integral part of the EYES WIDE SHUT experience.

The concept is simple:

​

1. BRING A GIFT
Each couple and each guest must bring a small wrapped gift worth no more than €25, without writing their name on it.

2. LEAVE A CLUE
Inside the package or attached to it, include a short clue that may help the person who receives it discover who brought it.

3. LEAVE YOUR GIFT UNDER THE TREE
Upon arrival, all gifts will be collected and placed beneath the large Christmas tree in the castle’s main hall.

4. THE EXCHANGE BEGINS AT 11:00 PM
Ten women, wrapped in black cloaks and wearing masks, will randomly select the gifts from beneath the tree and deliver them to the guests.

No one will choose their own gift.

5. DISCOVER WHO GAVE IT TO YOU
Once the gift has been opened, the clue inside will become the starting point for finding the person or couple who brought it.

And among all the gifts, there will be one very special present, completely anonymous and indistinguishable from the others.

Inside:

​

A COMPLIMENTARY LIBERTINE QUEEN PARTY.

ONE CASTLE. ONE NIGHT. ANOTHER WORLD.

For one night only, one of the most atmospheric castles near Turin will once again open its doors to Libertine Queen guests.

Ancient frescoes, grand staircases, corridors, soft lighting and timeless interiors will become the setting for an EYES WIDE SHUT experience reimagined for

 

Christmas.

Warm lights.
Deep red.
Candles.
Masks.
A grand Christmas tree in the heart of the castle.

Outside, it will be December.

Inside those walls, time will follow different rules.

Music, DJ sets, performances, encounters and immersive atmospheres will accompany the evening until midnight.

Then the castle will change.

The masked women, accompanied by the priest, will guide the guests toward the most private areas of the venue, opening the most intense part of the night.

Throughout the event, mobile phones and any recording devices will be strictly prohibited.

​

OPEN BAR & EXPERIENCE

During the evening, guests will enjoy a premium open bar, with champagne, cocktails and drinks.

Immersive music, DJ sets, artistic performances and moments created especially for this edition will accompany guests throughout the night.
