You can always count on Lakota to put on a great party and this Halloween in Bristol is no different! Head down to this legendary venue in Stoke’s Croft for a proper stonking Bristol Halloween night out! There will be five rooms pumping out every sound imaginable including some properly dirty basslines, disco and club classics, house and, of course, plenty of drum & bass!

Aside from the great line up of DJs the place will be crawling with ghostly performers to really take this party to the next level! Check out the hellish courtyard with its massive bonfire and devilish fire breathers!

Where & When : Friday 27th October – 22:00 – 6:00 – Lakota

Once they have their fill of brains, the whole pack will be heading to the after party of the year at The Full Moon in Stoke’s Croft to party like only the living dead can!
