Saturday 15th February
What more romantic way is there to celebrate St Valentine’s Day than an evening of hot jazz, rug-cutting, cocktail-sipping and general 1920s glamour? (Well, ask the members of Chicago’s North Side Gang who went down in a hail of bullets from Al Capone’s men in the famous St Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929 and you might get a different answer, but we’ll gloss over that…)
At our party there will be live jazz from Elise Roth and her High Standards to get your feet moving on the dance floor.
Elise Roth and her band
There will be sizzling burlesque performances from Didi Derriere.
Hosting, of course, will be the Lord of Cabaret misrule, Champagne Charlie, with a slap, a tickle and a saucy song. When the band aren’t playing DJs the Bee’s Knees will be spinning vintage vinyl into the night.
Want to know if he/she is The One? Our fortune teller Lucius will be on hand to advise. There will also be a pop-up vintage jewellery store (in case you need a ring in a hurry) and a sketch artist to capture you in your dreamy finery.
Champagne Charlie
You can pre-order a three-course dinner (which includes a table reservation all night) or reserve a table with Champagne but without the dinner. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location.
Note that our party is not just for spooning couples—as at all our events, we welcome groups of friends, swing dance fans, vintage dandies, lone wolves and conga-dancing party people.
