Wave a solitary farewell to all that is ordinary, pack a disgracefully dazzling outfit, and run away to the circus with wicked abandon!

The Dark Circus Party steps into the shadows on Saturday 27th September 2014, beckoning Londoners with gloved fingers to join this carnival of curiosities – a party that is thrilling, provocative and a little bit risqué.

Upon entering the velvet draped Big Top, thrill-seekers are invited to seek out the bizarre, free their inner exhibitionist and immerse themselves in the weird and wonderful world of the circus. Guests can sip on potent cocktails and peruse the stage from intimate curtained areas, gaze open-mouthed at aerialists as they twist and turn from the ceiling or pay a visit to Miss Marguerite’s painted wagon for a lesson in costume make up. Dark Circus Party welcomes Torture Garden’s troupe of aerialists, freaks and contortionists to the circus once more to beguile and entice guests as they mingle with the creatures of the underworld. The dress code for the evening is strict, but stretches the limits of your imagination. Vintage, Glamour & Fantasy with a Dark Circus Twist (Full costumes or a dash of themed styling).
