Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration: Mooncake Tasting & Lantern Making Workshop

Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节), a traditional Chinese festival that honours the full moon, family reunion, and the beauty of the autumn season. Rooted in centuries of stories and symbolism, it is a time for gathering, sharing, and reflecting under the brightest moon of the year. Mooncakes are traditionally shared as symbols of unity and togetherness, while tea is enjoyed in quiet appreciation. Lanterns also play an important role in the festival—glowing decorations that light up homes and streets, symbolising hope, joy, and reunion as people come together to admire the full moon. You will have the chance to create and take home your own lantern. What You’ll Experience: 🌕 Festival Stories: Discover the legends and cultural meanings behind the Mid-Autumn Festival, from moon mythology to themes of reunion and gratitude 🥮 Mooncakes & Tea: Enjoy traditional mooncakes paired with fragrant tea, experiencing a beloved festival pairing that celebrates sharing and togetherness 🏮 Lantern Making: Create and decorate your own Mid-Autumn lantern, inspired by traditional designs that are lit and carried to celebrate light, unity, and seasonal chang

💿LOVE MUSIC? Dance Anthems To Make Floor Burn Till 5AM: @Iconic Club🎧🎼

**Love dancing to hedonistic, high‑energy dance tunes?** Then join me on a proper dance floor for our 3rd edition of an euphoric, high‑octane dance music night with one of the finest French Swiss **dance‑music DJs and Producers** out there dropin phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves to in one of the most iconic venues in London’s clubland — **KOKO** Camden, in the home of music. Collectively - their music has amassed over 18 million streams. Expect a proper dance music club‑night experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obvs there will be no boring mainstream "touristy" pop rubbish but proper dance music - think - ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise, Studio 54 (Brooklyn) spun by global DJs renowed in these genres. We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish heavily skewed toward 20s men. **Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting loud music and dancing to it - please don't rsvp and deprive genuine musical dancers an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay till 5am like last time but as per most proper clubs - the real revellers don't usually arrive untill 1ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine - I'm not a biochemist - I've had enough randoms girls asking me this in the past - try your local Boots FFS! **=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===** The only downside is we have to get in there before 11pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 11pm is understandably way too early to go a club - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link. We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing and socialising so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other random ravellers as pour in after the pubs shut. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out Lucas The Raver

Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off- kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5. Its eclectic playlist and beautifully bonkers interiors set it apart from its peers. Famed for its rogue aesthetic, it really has it all. We're not joking. Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and waltzer-style booths all add to the charm! The program of the night is as follows : 7:00pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing.
