A free, house party for music lovers who actually want to move, even if it’s just a little two-step (no standing still!)🥰

Join us Saturday 27th June 2026 6-10pm🧡

Inspired by front room parties and community vibes from back in the day, this “house” party is about bringing the dance floor and real energy back to the ends. 

The space will be set-designed and curated to feel like a proper house party in the front room.

The event features an all-female DJ line-up serving global and fusion sounds that reflect London’s mix of cultures.

We will also have an open decks session for the first hour for any new DJ’s to give it a go!🧡
