Hilloween Monster Ball: Slung, Lamears and Longheads

TICKETS HERE

This Halloween, the Garrison Gallery and Patchwork Studios are throwing their spookiest annual extravaganza yet, with a Monster Ball at the Old Hollywood Hotel.

Three mind-warping bands from across the UK will descend upon Patchwork Studios for a night of bone-shaking psych, rock, and doom. Meanwhile, the Garrison Gallery will be transformed into the shadowed halls of the Old Hollywood Hotel; a place of faded glamour and unsettling beauty, where sinister hosts will be serving bespoke cocktails potent enough to raise the dead.

🩸💀 LINEUP💀🩸

🔮 Slung 🌫️ Lamears 🌀 Longheads

🦇 This is the fifth year that the Garrison Gallery and Patchwork have held its highly terrifying, highly revered Halloween extravaganza. Expect no less than a transformed Garrison into the craky, creepy surrounds of the Old Hollywood Hotel, horror-themed cocktails, whilst the decibels from our bands next door in Patchwork keep the dead on track.

🧛‍♂️ Come dressed to distress - the theme is Monster Ball. The more obscure, mind-bending and truly monstrous, the better. The most impressive of get ups will be voted upon on the night, with the prom king and queen (to be announced at 8pm in Patchwork) awarded FREE BEERS for the rest of the evening!
