The Candlelight Club’s Halloween Ball


  • A secret location Somewhere is south London, England United Kingdom (map)

Admission: £30 in advance
Dress: 1920s elegance

The Candlelight Club is an award-winning clandestine pop-up 1920s speakeasy, in a secret London venue lit by candles, run by the NSC’s own Clayton Hartley. Each event offers live period jazz bands and vintage vinylism for your dancing pleasure, plus a dining option, cocktails bars and more.

No one liked a fancy dress party more than the racy Jazz Age crowd, so where better to celebrate the spooky season that our elegantly eerie ball? Photos and fashion plates show us that the 1920s idea of a Halloween costume was more about glamour than gore, so if you’re looking for a more refined seasonal soirée, head our way.

Leading the revels will be Ghost With the Most, Champagne Charlie, with a demonic ditty and a cabaret swagger. Electrifying our stage with uncanny burlesque will be that mystery of the East, Suri Sumatra. Sinister songbird Elise Roth and her band the High Spirits will be proving the Devil has all the best tunes, while mellifluous witches the Bees Knees will be spinning records by long-dead artists. There will also be a pop-up vintage jewellery store and fortune teller Lucius, ready to reveal what horrors lie ahead, all in a shadowy speakeasy filled with our famous jack-o’-lanterns.

Our venue will be a 100-year-old south London hidden gem, a mixture of industrial chic and period glamour. You can come just for drinks and dancing but you can also reserve a table with Champagne, or book the three-course dinner. There’s even an inclusive-drinks option. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location (which is close to a tube station). So pull on your flapper dress and get ready to Charleston…

"The closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold." —Time Out
