By order of The War Office, you are requested to make your way to our East London air raid shelter for a special Blitz Party.
Taking place in an East London warehouse, a cavernous den that contains more alcoholic provisions and Blitz spirit than Churchill’s bunker, this party will recreate the wartime glamour of 1940s London. The venue will be transformed into a wartime air shelter with a swing dance hall, live music stage and bunkers complete with sandbags, searchlights, blackout curtains and oil lamps.
Ladies can drop in at the beauty parlour to perfect their 40s look with complementary hair and make-up touch ups from The Beauty Queens. Ration books will replace bar menus and scarce provisions will line the walls.
The evening will host the UK’s finest live swing bands and performers; Capitano’s Vegas Rabble will be playing the best in 40-60s jump jive, swing and rhythm & blues. Swing Patrol will be leading a dance class from 7pm, and there will be plenty of wartime snacks on hand in the Mess Hall to keep those jitterbugs going.
Whether you’re a victory curled good time girl or a moustachioed RAF hero, flirt over a Raspberry Collins, swing dance under searchlights, and recapture an era that made history.
Dress Code – 1940s glam, home front utility clothing and allied uniform all welcome. Whilst they appreciate the need to "make do and mend" The Blitz Party operates a strict 1940s dress code. Denim may be acceptable in the munitions hall, and trainers do squeak nicely in the gymnasium, but that is where they should remain.
