THE EARLY NIGHTCLUB
Thursday 23rd October – 8pm – TICKET EVENT
The Early Night Club, established in 2009, is clubbing with a difference.
An older, wiser crowd of clubbers, who like to throw their hands in the air and let loose on the dancefloor, but only until around 11.30 pm, and then they best get home to bed as they’ve got stuff to do the next day. This is sensible clubbing, where your head won’t be too sore the next day, but your feet just might be because it’s dancefloor fillers all night long. All music you will know and love from the 80s/90s and beyond.
