About

Our favourite Persian Manc is throwing a rave of epic proportions!

Join us for a night of upbeat bangers, bass pressure, Middle Eastern-infused heat, and a sprinkling of 80s/90s nostalgia as we celebrate the glorious Saba (aka Saffy Saffron Spice), with friends and chosen family on the dancefloor, and our lovely DJs on the decks!

Expect:

✨ Big energy sets

✨ Warm, inclusive community vibes

✨ Proper hugs, sweat and sparkle

✨ Zero ego, maximum joy

✨ Chill out area with vegan party snacks

This is birthday party meets rave meets cultural celebration meets fundraiser. Come ready to dance, connect, and honour 40 fabulous years of this absolute legend.
