The UK’s Biggest Eighties Experience!

Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone: Club 80s is coming to town.

Hits by Dexys Midnight Runners, Culture Club, Guns N’ Roses, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Erasure, Bon Jovi, Wham!, Deacon Blue, and many, many more are crammed into a non-stop, musical trip – back-combed to the time that fashion forgot!

A band tighter than a Spandex leotard, dancers shining brighter than all the neon in Vegas, are backed by a cast that stands head and shoulder pads above the rest – in a show where the costume changes come just as thick and fast as the hits.

So, give the Rubik’s Cube a night off and have yourself a night to remember. Whether you were workin’ as a waitress in a cocktail bar or just a city boy, let Club 80s take your hand back to the happiest days of your life.

This show includes amazing sound and light, with big screen visuals, and includes a mind blowing illusion that sees a mannequin turn in to a real girl in front of the audience's eyes, as they sing the amazing Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. An amazing show that cannot be missed !!!!!

Amazing audiences since 2013, this is a show that has to be seen. It’s the ultimate night out and a night you won’t forget.
