The Candlelight Club's May Ball

Step back in time to the romance of the Jazz Age at London’s award-winning immersive 1920s-themed speakeasy party, with live jazz, cabaret and cocktails in a secret venue filled with candles, where everyone dresses the part.

This time we welcome you to a historic mansion in south London with its own ballroom. Live music will come from Australia’s jazziest export, Duncan Hemstock and his famous All-Stars, one of the most high-energy powerhouses on the swing and jazz scene, guaranteed to keep your feet moving. When the band aren’t playing our DJs the Bee’s Knees will be spinning vintage vinyl. Leading the charge will be our cabaret Host with the Most, Champagne Charlie, and we'll also be welcoming back the luminous Miss Vicky Butterfly, a titan of the burlesque scene (and also the very first performer at our very first event).

Elsewhere tarot reader Lucius will be on hand to glimpse into your future, while sketch artist Sophie Williams will be ready capture you in your vintage finery.

You can come just for drinks and dancing but you can also reserve a table with Champagne, or book the three-course dinner. There’s even an inclusive-drinks option. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location (which is close to a tube station). So pull on your flapper dress and get ready to Charleston…

"The closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold." —Time Out
