Costume Parties
We’re kicking things off in style on Friday with our official ABBA Opening Party, headlined by ABBA Gold Europe and hosted by drag sensation Polly Glamorous. Bring your best ABBA and EuroVibes-inspired looks, then keep the party going at the EuroVibes party with Tia Kofi, Nicki French and Allan Jay!
On Saturday, the theme of this year’s Don’t Tell Mama official costume party is Glitter & Glam. Whether you’re serving subtle shimmer or dripping from head to toe in sequins, this is your moment to outsparkle the glitterball and slay like the superstar you are. Sashay over to Centre Stage where Brighton’s legendary club night Polyglamorous and drag artist Alfie Ordinary will be hosting the sparkle-fuelled showdown. Expect shimmer, sass, and more glitter than a Kylie concert finale.
There’ll be fabulous prizes for the most creative looks, plus exclusive Don’t Tell Mama merch up for grabs!
