Step inside our nomadic yurt for psychedelic spiritual experiences, from neon glitch witch life drawing with Art Model Collective and Satanic Mojo. Wiccan rituals meets digital glitch art where wild woodland creatures pose within a UV forest for you to sketch and paint. Then later dance the night away to ‘70s disco by Savage Disco, the naughty little sister of infamous club collective Sink the Pink. They’ll be blasting out disco anthems alongside performances by their troupe of glittered drag queens from their regular late-night party in East London.

The night-garden

Lie down in our decadent gilded ballroom and watch intimate live music performances by Alice Zawadzki & Friends and Firefly Burning, presenting luminous part-folk, part-minimalist chamber music.
