There will be an entrance charge of £3
all of which goes to the above charity.
Entrance is free between 11.00am to 8.00pm
but you're welcome to make a donation
(anything over £3 will allow access to the bands later on.)
It's here, the first ever Danse Macabre Curiosity Fair. As a change to our usual exhibitions, we will have a large group of stalls followed by DJ sets and a fantastic line up of bands in association with our friends at I'm Not From London to take you through to the early hours. Knowing how much everyone hates Hangover Mondays we've arranged this event for the Bank Holiday Sunday so hopefully less of you will have work the next day.
What better opportunity to get down to the Central, have a chilled out day in the sunny beer garden, feeding yer faces with BBQ fodder, not forgetting to buy some of the curious merchandise we have on offer and of course check out the bands.
