Dark & Delicious Valentine's Masquerade Ball

 
 
We welcome all the lovers and lonely hearts of the land for an evening of salaciously sanguine delight fit for St Valentine himself. Marvelously masked Dandies and Daemons dance into the darkness for an evening of debauchery and delight.  Whether you are reaffirming loves present, reminiscing loves past or trawling the delicious denizens for loves future, the opulent dance floor, frenetic music and the dark and secret spaces of Clapham Grand will serve as your mystical muse.

Parade with your partners in a sassy swing-dance class courtesy of those light-footed folk of Swing Patrol, or lounge louchely on the balcony as our deft manipulator of the desert sands  creates vistas and visions on the big screen.  Trip lightly up to The Gods sashay into Studio 53 and another time. Register your relationship with our canny counsellors in all things love or immerse yourself interactively with one of our many peripatetic performers

Main Stage

Josephine and the Artizans - Let your souls mingle and merge as your physical form rides the rhythms with this tempestuous roller-coaster of a band.  Writhe and Roll in the backlash from the storm-warring operatic chorals and street cool hip hop rhapsodies, colliding in a frenzied carnival of sound. This is hip hopera!  Mainline the raw romance!


DJ Deekline – DJ Sensation, this party just went super-nova, blood-pumping, foot-stomping, whirling frenzy with this dance-floor don.

Chivaree Circus – Jaw-dropping, show-stopping feats of fantastical acrobatics


DJ Jamie Moon - The sharpest dressed DJ in London, dropping the sharpest tunes.

Swing Patrol - teaching you to twirl and swing your loved ones with elan. 
The Gods

STUDIO 53

Funkier, goofier and more fabulous than Studio 54 and located just one floor below.  Welcome, denizens of all things dark and debauched, to this slice of 70s glamour projected through the acid-laced lens of the present day, daubed with decadence and riddled with raucous fun.

It’s the height of the Disco era, anyone who is anyone is at New York’s infamous hotspot, Studio 54. But the really cool cats are one floor below, where the party just got wilder and the rest of the world is a million miles away.

Groove the night away in a flurry of glitter-ball gorgeousness to music of the era devilishly twisted by our skilled music maestros.  Revel in tete a tetes with the glitterati, the art superstars and disco prima-donnas. Bright and sparkling eyes may chance upon Andy Warhol behind the decks and Salvador Dali will, of course, be offering surrealist portraits to our raffish revellers whilst the miasmic maelstrom whirls around him.


Private Boxes

✩Feral and Frolic✩ - Everybody knows that theatregoers of old paid top dollar for the boxes due to the privacy such an enclave affords, and therefore the misdemeanours to be enjoyed therein. In a return to tradition the enchantresses of Feral and Frolic bring you the most invigorating of installations, the most tantalising temptations for your sinful satisfaction


Balcony Bar

Beware where you take your ease.  You may find yourself seated next to a Tarot reader with knowledge of the occult, or a deft and amusingly light-fingered magician, be certain to check your pocket watch when he moves on.  Strange creatures inhabit this luxurious lounging area. Look out for the twisted troubadours from the Twice Shy Theatre Company

Please take your ease, but be sure to explore, who knows what dark corner you might discover.  Seek out the heady delight of the cheeseboard and, of course, there's the costume competition, so dress up, walk tall and be sure to be seen in all your glory, we are watching.
