Thank you to all who came out, hung out and danced

Thank you to all who came out, hung out and danced with us. So nice to be back in the club with you all. Great to see all the regulars and so many new faces that have joined our community by the sea. The 5pm start was a huge success. Really nice to kick it off early, we will be doing it from now on... Sorry to anyone who couldn't get in, once we are full, we are full.

Our next event is on Halloween 🎃. 30th October. Hosted by queer collective @cocklesandmuscles. It's going to be a very fun party. Get your costumes ready.

Tomorrow we open our doors for the first time in almost two years. A lot has happened. A lot has changed. I love night life, I see myself working in the industry until I'm old and grey (arguably I'm already old and grey.) But I have also come to appreciate starting my socialising early, then getting to bed early.... one of my favourite parties, lucky cloud loft party, starts very early(3pm) and offers a chance to hangout, chat and make new friends, before the party really kicks off. So I figured it would be worth trying something similar at the Arts Club.

We have a fantastic selection of classic cocktails and a very nice selection of soft drinks, as well as a fully stocked bar..... And a dream bar team working along side me.

We open this Saturday 2nd October. 5pm.

No pre-sale. Once we are full, we are full. X

The most important room of the house. Our disco dance floor.

Our small but perfectly formed psychedelic alter is being primed.

House party vibes. Intimate and welcoming.

Our dance hall plays homage to the original disco parties of the 70s and 80s. The foundation of these OG parties was community and friends coming together, dancing to a great sound system. The arrangement and alignment of our speakers(although modern) are following David Mancusos guidelines.

Expect clean, clear sound. Tight bass and a volume that doesn't hurt your ears.

I have been putting on events, parties and exhibitions since I was 16 and running the Arts Club since 2013. I'm not going to lie it's the most excited and nervous I have ever been for a gathering.

I can't wait to be back in this red room with you all on Saturday.

Scroll through to see a little video. Though the mic on the phone doesn't do our system justice.

Doors 5pm.

Since we have been closed the past year or so, loads of new places to eat and drink have opened this end of Northdown Rd. These are some of my favourites. ..... And the international food centre opposite the Arts Club is 100% worth a visit, it's amazing.

During lockdown I have spent most of my time tweak

During lockdown I have spent most of my time tweaking the Arts Club. I have started growing plants and have now got a concrete jungle inside/outside garden. Our basement is now open with sofas and a second bar, other seating areas and nooks have taken shape. Daytime has become my favourite time to hang out in the Club sampling our drinks menu.

👀Our doors open at 5pm this Saturday for our re-opening party. Come make the most of the garden while it's open 👀

I'm not saying that everyone owning and renting out Airbnb's are bad people. I'm aware that while we have a lack of hotels it supports the tourist trade, but maybe they are unaware of how damaging it can be to the community. Airbnb is a serious problem and it would be better for everyone if those properties were permanent homes for people that live and work in the area.

I have zero issue with people renting out a room in a house they live in, or renting out their home when they go on holiday. Unfortunately the effects and repercussions of buying property for the sole purpose of letting it as a holiday home can be devastating to communities and independent businesses. Holiday lets force the housing prices/rent up and full time residents out. We don't want dead zones or a seasonal town. Berlin and Barcelona have felt the devastating affects of Airbnb and passed legislation to curb it(* and also rent control). It's really sad to see friends, creatives and locals who have helped make this town become so amazing displaced. When the winter hits, business owners rely on people who permanently live in the area to support them. If the community has moved on, these businesses will go also..... What's the point of the Airbnb's if the cultural infrastructure has been forced on to the next "cool"/rundown place anyway?

Probably my favourite piece of press. Besides being quite shy and to preserve the intimate space of the arts club, our Instagram is private and I don't do interviews. I am regularly asked, it's very flattering when I am... This is the closest anyone has got.
