What’s on: South/East/West UK (early-mid October)

It feels positively refreshing to report on so many events every week across the UK. Let’s be honest; the last year or two has been utter sh*te for anyone interested in nightlife or club culture. 

That being said, it is with great joy that we can bring you a selection of our top party picks for the south, east and west of the United Kingdom over the next few weeks. 

No messing around; we’re sure you’re all eager to start selecting motives, so let’s get straight into it!

Friday 1st October

Beat Factory presents James Zabiela at The Factory, Worthing

Things are about to get interesting, though, as Worthing looks to be making somewhat of a resurgence – via some impressive events at The Factory. The first of which sees technical wizard and all-around nice guy James Zabiela come to town!
