Halloween at The Old School Yard

School
of Fright

Saturday 31 October | Doors 5:30pm | Last dance 12:30am

The old school gets a lot older after dark.

Early Advance tickets end 11:59pm, Saturday 24 October

The night

Somewhere you would rather not walk into alone

For one night our London Bridge party bar turns into exactly that. Cobwebs across the ceiling, fog rolling over the floor, red light everywhere, and a DJ running 80s and 90s bangers straight into the floor fillers you only admit to loving in the dark.

Come in costume. There is a prize for the best one. Dress to impress, or dress to terrify, but do turn up as something.

Fog.Neon.Monsters.

Every ticket includes a Halloween themed cocktail. There is a proper alcohol-free version if you are not drinking, not a glass of juice with a straw in it.

Your entry time is the latest you can arrive on that ticket. Arrive later than it says and you pay the difference on the door. Over 18s only, ID may be required.

Costume

Best costume wins

There is a prize for the best costume on the night. Effort beats budget, and the room tends to decide who deserves it long before anyone official does.

No costume is not a crime. Our normal dress code still applies: dress to impress, fancy dress welcome, no team sports shirts.

Questions

Before you come

Do I need a ticket?

Yes. There are a limited number on the door at £15, subject to capacity, but Halloween falls on a Saturday this year and we expect to sell out in advance. Buy ahead.

What time should I get there?

Before 9pm if you want the cheaper ticket. Before 7pm if you also want happy hour, which is two menu cocktails for £10 and two Becks for £5. Doors are 5:30pm and the last dance is 12:30am.

I have a before-9pm ticket but I am running late

Come anyway. You pay the difference on the door and you are in.

Do I have to dress up?

No, but almost everyone does and you will feel conspicuous in a shirt. There is a prize for the best costume.

What is the free drink?

A Halloween themed cocktail from our menu for the night, included with every ticket. There is an alcohol-free version if you are not drinking.

Can I book a table?

Yes, and it is free. You need a minimum of four people. Some of our tables seat 15 to 20 if you are a bigger group.

Is there food?

Yes, from SMOK’D, served in boxes and ordered through the OrderPay app using the QR code on arrival. Kitchen runs 5:30pm to 9:45pm.

Is it over 18s?

Yes, over 18s only. Bring ID, you may be asked for it.
