Named ANGEL HUGS after the location and fancy dress theme.

The recently opened Bar Sequence near Angel offers no less than 7 high quality projectors and a super tight sound system. Their selection of cocktails and wines is extensive, whilst a pint of beer is still only £3.50!

Day of Hugs 24hr "On Safari" Party

2009-04-25T22:37:00.060Z

Day of Hugs "On Safari" was by far the best party we have ever thrown. Thank you everyone who made it possible. Check out new featured photos every day!

Global House hosted an area (decorated by Sparkly Nuts) delivering the finest Electro and Breaks with DJ's playing from a 1950's Land Rover whilst Cheetahs danced on the bonnet! A Different World gave us chilled alternative vibes all night long. The Day of Hugs tent continued to deliver the sort of underground House and Techno our reputation has been built on.

The gates opened at 2pm on Saturday 25th April. Those who arrived early bagged the best camping spots and enjoyed the sunshine and workshops including hooping (Hoop Dance Heaven), juggling (Flame Fireshows), drumming and more. At sunset the Secret Garden Party crew entertained us with fire hooping and gifts for the king. They were followed by Flame Fireshows giving us an incredible taste of what their Southern Lights festival has to offer. Strumpets with Crumpets provided very tasty food (and views) throughout the 24 hours.
