Magic Door | Fri 29 Apr | LAB11 | From £15
Enter the magic door and escape to an otherworldly, often surreal dance wonderland this Friday. As Magic Door are keen to remind us, this is not just a metaphor; upon entry, party-goers are granted a magic bean, allowing them to step through an ‘actual’ magic door (at the behest of the Guardian of the Door, of course) to the world of the Crafty Girls, where glitter and face paint is in perennial abundance. This Friday’s warm-up for the long weekend sees Croatian party people Love International bringing their sunshine sounds to Lab 11 along with the newly-crowned Magic Door resident Maxxi Soundsystem joined by Jukes of Hazard, Deano Ferrino and special guests TBA on the night.
