Pin up your victory rolls and wave your Union Jack with pride, dust off your stripes and polish your medals.

Turn out that light and pile into our Suffolk Street air raid shelter for a special D-Day Blitz Party, taking place on Saturday 8th June 2013.

Coinciding with the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June’s event at Suffolk Street Arches will remember and honour Britain’s finest with 1940s music and dancing. This year’s venue will be transformed into a wartime air shelter, complete with sandbags, searchlights, blackout curtains, oil lamps and military bunk beds. Ration books will replace bar menus and scarce provisions will line the walls. The evening will host the UK’s finest live swing bands, performers and DJs. Big band tunes will play for fun-loving party girls who long to share a Gin French cocktail with a handsome man in uniform. The dedicated Spitfire Bar will quench the thirst of soldiers with hearty British ale and champagne. There will be plenty of war time snacks on hand to keep those jitterbugs going. Another room will project original newsreels and wartime films, accompanied by live music, for a touch of that wartime authenticity.

Ladies, don your lipstick and tea-dresses and draw on those stockings. Gentlemen dust off your medals and pin up your bunting.

The Blitz Party returns to London for its D-Day Anniversary special, where cocktails, dancing and neighbourly spirit are the order of the evening. Dress Code – 1940s glam, home front utility clothing and allied uniform all welcome
