❤️ For the Couples

👯‍♀️ For the Friends

Flying solo or celebrating Galentine’s? Gather your group! This is a super informal way to catch up, have a laugh, and argue over which decade was better.

🎻 The Music (With a Wicked Twist)

We are bringing you the ultimate string quartet face-off: The 1980s vs The 1990s.

Expect to hear stripped-back, beautiful, and recognisable covers of legends like Madonna, Blondie, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, and Guns N' Roses.

👻 The Friday 13th Factor: Since the stars have aligned to put this event on Friday the 13th, we can’t resist adding a little mystery to the romance. Alongside the love songs, we’ll be throwing in a few of our "spooky favourites" to keep you on your toes!

🍺 The Vibe

Relaxing, informal, and interactive. No stiff concert etiquette here—just great beer, great food, and the soundtrack of your youth played as you’ve never heard it before.
