Christmas is all about celebrating, and for Brighton-based groups looking for somewhere a little more unique than the local pub to host your festive party, let us introduce Madam Lola's.
In a nutshell; Madam Lola's is the UK's only artist-led cabaret club, and it prides itself on delivering out-of-the-box performances and a totally immersive experience. Set on Brighton's seafront, the 1892 Grade II listed building, with it's copper Indo-Saracenic dome, is one of Brighton's most recognisable landmarks. It has a brilliant location not only a short walk to the train station, but set within Brighton's busiest area around bars, pubs and clubs.
Inside, expect plenty of dark corners and sultry spots. This place is something between the Moulin Rouge and the Kit Kat Club, with a central stage, atmospheric lighting, and performances happening at every turn. For your booking, exclusive hire means your group - whether it be friends, family or colleagues - will have sole use of the venue and therefore, can be entertained however you like. Capacity can include 120 people when dining seated or 220 when standing.
If you don't need quite that much room, the upstairs balcony has capacity for 25 people and will give you your own space while still absorbing the buzz of the rest of the venue. It's perfect for party season. Alternatively, for smaller groups or if just booking for your team, booths or tables are available for between three and five people.
As for what to expect throughout the evening, doors usually open at 7pm and time to enjoy a drink, before showtime at 8pm. From acrobatics to stripteases, anything is possible so we hope you're feeling brave! The interval offers another chance to enjoy a tipple or two, before the final act and then a DJ set, with a license that lasts until 2am. On the tech front, Madam Lola's leads the way with state-of-the-art Martin Audio surround sound, full cabaret lighting rigs, projector and screen.
Food is provided in house and in terms of dress code, come wearing something to impress - sportswear isn't allowed this time, but we'll have to get back to you on Christmas jumpers!
