A Carnival of Curiosities
The time has once again come to bid adieu to all that is ordinary, pack a magnificently dazzling and
daring outfit, and run away to the circus, abandoning all norms. The Dark Circus Party steps into
the shadows on Saturday 30th May 2015, summoning all licentious Londoners with top hats and
gloved fingers to join this carnival of curiosities – a party that is thrilling, provocative, and a little
depraved.
Prepare to be transported to a dark, dreamy and slightly debauched world of heady illusion and
unbridled spectacle. Torture Garden, the original purveyors of everything dark and seductive and
Bourne & Hollingsworth, London’s finest cocktail creators and party maestros, have once again
joined forces to provide party–goers with an evening of abandoned dancing, pleasure seeking and
spectacular entertainment.
Upon entering the velvet draped Big Top, thrill–seekers are invited to pursue the bizarre, free their
inner exhibitionist and immerse themselves in the weird and wonderful world of the circus. Guests
can sip on potent cocktails and peruse the stage from intimate curtained areas, gaze open–
mouthed at aerialists as they twist and turn from the ceiling or pay a visit to Miss Marguerite’s
painted wagon for a lesson in costume make up. Connoisseurs of the peculiar, Torture Garden’s
finest acts bring their very own circus freak to The Dark Circus Party for a visual and sensory
extravaganza. Performers regale guests as they mingle with the creatures of the underworld.
The music will be a mix of Electro Swing, Circus Burlesque, Cabaret, Ballroom Blitz and Big Top
Party Mash–Ups. DJs for the evening include DJ Dandies, David TG, The Secretary and Lydia Darling.
The dress code for the evening is strict, but stretches the limits of your imagination. Vintage,
