Jasper Tygner & Special Guest
North London DJ, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Jasper Tygner will be bringing a bag full of classic rave nostalgia, melodic breaks and high tempo house sounds to the club. Inspired by the deep history of London Underground club culture, his sound nods to some of the key movements over the past 30 years (such as jungle, dubstep and garage), subtly paying homage in an emotive and kaledioscopic fashion. The special guest is a past resident of ours who compliments Jasper’s take on contemporary UK underground dance - after 4 sell out shows their return has been a long the coming… Tickets on sale Tuesday 30th April at 10am BST, RSVP for priority access to tickets via the button.

I'm Sorry, Prime Minister
From the BAFTA Award-winning co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, Jonathan Lynn, comes the long-awaited final chapter of British political satire - and it is as cunning, cutting, and catastrophically funny as ever. Jim Hacker is back - older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee. Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction. Can Humphrey outmanoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself? Or is it finally time to say, "I’m Sorry, Prime Minister..."? Brimming with razor-sharp wit, nostalgic brilliance, and more double-speak than a press briefing, this is political comedy at its most timeless - and timely. Book now for a night of laughter, legacy, and one last glorious round of red tape, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister.Read more
