Special Events

Cahoots are jolly excited to introduce their next 1940s Swing Dance special, downstairs in the Control Room. 

First up, old beans! From 5.30pm, enjoy a complimentary welcome cocktail to loosen up those limbs and settle into this hidden speakeasy-style space, once the epicentre of a disused train station. Between 6pm and 8.30pm, resident swing dance teachers from SwingdanceUK will be hosting some spiffingly good dance lessons for those of you keen to learn the art of a good ol’ 40s knees-up. Then, for an extra £10pp, all you scoundrels are invited to stay until late for a roaring after-party, with an incredible DJ set from 9pm until the early hours. The perfect chance to show off your newly-learnt swing dance moves and keep those toes tapping all night long!

Swing Dance Lesson + Welcome Drink: £30pp
Swing Dance After-Party: £10pp

Live music, dancing, and twenties glamour in the Art Deco surroundings of Brooklands Museum, where, after its wartime service as an aerodrome, the fashionable set of the 1920s met for fast cars and cocktails.

Expect to learn a little Foxtrot and Charleston, and maybe even some of the infamous animal dances of the ragtime era with SwingdanceUK.

Sip your complimentary glass of champagne as you flaunt your 1920s finery, and absorb the atmosphere of a lost age of exuberance and elegance, of Tommies in uniform and Bright Young Things in masquerade, of hot jazz and romantic waltzes.
