Another themed event with our favourite Club night on 23rd November at 23:00 - 24th November at 02:00 in Freakscene (Gorby’s) on Oliver Plunkett Street.
Freakscene goes formal for one night, so suit up, dust off that posh frock, dress for a ball or maybe retro cool!? Perhaps you’d prefer to keep it Rock’n'Roll so think Ska, Mod, 50s/early 60s, Madmen or even Gaga, get creative!!
Its kinda like a ball, only cheaper and without all that rotten food!
Freakscene photographers will be there to capture the glamour as per usual!
We will be hosting a “Fundraising Wine Reception” on the 23rd of November at ‘The Other Place‘ on South Main Street, City Centre @9pm till 11pm.
This is an “Open Event” so do bring your pals.
Its only €5 for as much snacks and drinks as you like.
Formal attire is a YES. If you don’t have any scour Cork’s Charity shops! Got me a tailcoat for €3.
We will then be going to Freakscene Goes Formal, we will have concession for those who attend.
