Bookings are pouring in now the Bank Holiday's gone so please make sure you book soon as the reaction to the line up has been phenomenal. We're out of all size chalets except 4's and 6's and as usual the next ones to go will be the 4's but we're still OK at the moment so don't hang about too long. You can book online or print off a booking form.

Niche at Egg and to The Manor Born Garden Party

We?d just like to say a huge thanks to everyone for making both the gigs over the Bank Holiday weekend such an amazing success.

Egg had record numbers through the door since the club opened, an incredible 1200 people with the doors locked at 4.00am and despite the disappointing weather 4000 people were in attendance at the Garden Party. All the rooms were packed to the rafters till the end and it was nice to see how successful the RnB room was at an event like this. Many great recollections over the day with some brilliant music played by all the DJ's and fun memories of people sitting in the rain drinking jugs of Pimms and dancing outside will stay with us for some time to come.

A massive thanks to everyone for your support.



Our next big event takes place on Saturday October 2nd

We?ve hired a private jet to fly Jazzy and Kenny between Newcastle and their following gig at the Ministry, watch out, there may even be a competition to join them on the flight with the full VIP treatment.

Newcastle is a vibrant city with many hotels. We already know of one large group of people from London headed up by our mate Mark Webster who have organised a coach and are joining us at a Friday pre party so you could always make a weekend of it. We were going to make some cruel joke about Mark being a Hammer?s fan but I suppose with the current situation at our club we?d better keep our mouths shut.
