Cheer up love! It might never happen. WELL IT IS FUCKING HAPPENING SO HUFF THE POPPERS AND CRACK ON!

After years of delays, it's (very likely) our last summertime party at The Yard in it's current iteration, as they prepare to redevelop the site and build a brand new Yard in 2025. So come make the most of a balmy smoking area for probably the final time (don't worry, we've still a few cold bockers to go in the current venue.)

So when the summer comedown hits sometimes you just gotta dance, you know?

Blow away those Glastonbury grumbles, bin the Hoopla heebie-jeebies, and dash off the Primavera pain. Bocker's fave guest DJ Just Soriah will drag you kicking and screaming into the summer heat with her unique and unrelenting pop collages. Then join the cuddle puddle with our original sad boy residents Zimbra, Lawless and Rata as we come together in a warm embrace of joy, happy tears and ID Glide .

ABOVE ALL

Knickerbocker is a Queer Dance Party for everyone. It's everyone's responsibility to create a safer space. Racism, ableism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, kink and slut shaming will not be tolerated.

If you are skint and still want to come, please email us. we keep a limited number of tickets for brothers, sisters and those who have transcended family who can't afford a dance.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
