Do you fancy going to a dead good club night?

-

A SPOOKY spectacle of a club night is currently touring the UK and will land in Manchester next month.

The Festival of the Dead merges circus and theatre with clubbing, complete with elaborate costumes for all performers and a giant mechanical skull.

Taking place at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre on Friday, November 2, there will be profession­al facepainte­rs on hand to get the crowd involved and ‘Day of the Dead’ fancy dress is actively encouraged.

The event started as a one-off Halloween party at London’s The Troxy, but has since expanded to an internatio­nal clubbing phenomenon.

It sold more than 60,000 tickets across the UK and Europe last year, attracting crowds with live performanc­e, carnival scenes, dancing and top DJs on the decks.

This year’s Festival of the Dead tells the tale of one man’s journey into the underworld. It’s a world filled with giant creatures, circus performers, acrobats, and spooky characters. The stars of the show are the impressive El Diablo, a huge mechanical skull that’s full of surprises and a 15ft-tall vulture that will roam around the crowd. Adding to the carnival atmosphere will be a light show, live music, and even pinatas.

The Festival of the Dead’s UK tour has already begun and will now head to Glasgow, London and Birmingham before coming to Manchester.

It will be at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre at Trafford Park on Friday, November 2, from 10pm until 3am.
