Run for cover in the bunkers!!! 

The Blitz Party, London’s best-loved and most authentic 1940s party, is back for a spectacular D-Day Special on Saturday 8th June. 

Step back in time into an authentic air-raid shelter, complete with sandbags, hurricane lamps, reconnaissance maps and blackout curtains. 

Victory curled ladies and uniformed soldiers can expect a night of live music, classic cocktails and 40s-style revelry.

An incredible mix of music will belt out as live big bands perform a repertoire of 40s classics and modern favourites remixed to resemble the style of the era, the perfect soundtrack for land girls and the home guard to cut a rug on the dance floor. 

As with all Bourne & Hollingsworth events, the drinks take centre stage, and the bars will be stocked with a carefully chosen selection of modern takes on classic cocktails all washed down with hearty snacks from the mess stall.

Those wishing to hone their swing steps can join the pre-party dance class from 7pm-8pm, led by professional swing dancers who will then set the mood with impressive set-pieces for the rest of the party.
