Invites you to
A Very Royal Jubilee
Your presence is hereby requested by Her Majesty Queen Rumpus at a gala celebration of her second anniversary as Monarch of London’s Nightlife.
Featuring a full night’s entertainment fit for our Beloved Queen; there will be much tomfoolery from our court jesters, The Royal Sideshow Circus, and all manner of fanfares from the very best troubadours from across the Kingdom.
Our most gallant Knights of the Empire, FLUFFY LOGIC will return from their questing in far away lands to bring you a room full of Adventures; Those eternal ne’er-do-wells the CARNY VILLAINS have finally been captured and will be made to perform for your delectation; Whereas those thoroughly pleasant chaps from FRANKIE AND THE JACKS will play for you if just ask them nicely enough; Royal DJs DR MALAKA and SACHA DIEU will represent on the wheels of Steels; and all time favourites like Her Majesty’s Most Royal Kazoo Orchestra (wear a hat) and the Ball Pool will of course be in attendance.
Spread across 7 rooms, each of which will be filled to positively bursting with high-octane, non stop, over-the-top Grade A FUN, this is going to the last Rumpus of the Season, before we all disperse for the summer. Come down and celebrate our second birthday in the most Royal fashion imaginable!
See you on the dancefloor!
