  • Price: from £27.50 per person
  • Why we recommend: we love how this event transports you seamlessly back to the 1920s. Plus, there are options for everyone: choose a simple entry ticket for drinks and dancing, upgrade to a three-course set dinner, or splash out on your own private table with Champagne for your friends

Hidden away in a secret South London location (revealed only two days before the event), The Candlelight Club is London's most enchanting pop-up speakeasy—lit entirely by flickering candlelight. This clandestine soirée invites you to slip into your finest 1920s attire (jeans and trainers strictly forbidden) and step into a world where Prohibition agents can't find you.

The night comes alive with live jazz bands, cabaret acts, and vintage DJs spinning shellac records, while guests sip on artfully mixed cocktails and mingle with a party crowd as glamorously dressed as you are. Extras like tarot readings, pop-up vintage jewellery stalls, and even a sketch artist make it feel like a true Gatsby-era affair.

Enter a castle of shadows where secrets lurk behind every velvet curtain. At The Traitors Live Experience, you'll be assigned a secret role and challenged to navigate a series of twisted missions, strategic votes, and tense betrayals. Can you sniff out the deceivers… or will you be outwitted in the dark?

Post-game, haunt The Cloak & Dagger for a Berried Alive cocktail, featuring a floating eyeball and blackberry liqueur - the perfect end to a night of suspense, scheming, and Halloween thrills.
