The Candlelight Club is a clandestine pop-up 1920s speakeasy, in a secret London venue lit by candles. Each event offers a one-off cocktail menu with special themes, plus live period jazz bands and vintage vinylism for your dancing pleasure. Ticket holders get an email two days before revealing the location.

No one liked a fancy dress party more than the fast Jazz Age crowd. Come to our elegantly eerie spooky soirée and mingle with ghostly flappers, vampish witches, dapper devils, coquettish black cats…

Leading the revels will be Ghost With the Most, Champagne Charlie, and we’ll have live rhythms from the Shirt Tail Stompers and vintage vinyl spun by tipsy witches the Bees Knees. There will also be a pop-up vintage jewellery store, a fortune teller and a roaming photographer.

In addition to the main cocktail bar, our famous rum and cigar bar will be selling genuine Havana cigars to smoke in our private garden. You can reserve a table with Champagne, to which you can also add food from a menu of snacks and sharing platters.

"The closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold." —Time Out
