DO I NEED TO DRESS UP?
We have an emphasis on personal creativity and encourage people to dress up and have some fun in what ever way they feel most comfortable, whether that is a corseted vamp, a cowboy, an alien or whatever. A key part of the colour and magic of Carnival Twist comes from the sheer variety of costumes worn by our clientele. It is a safe environment where you can explore your imagination, set your creativity free and enjoy yourself to your hearts content. Fancy dress also has the advantage that any celebrities who attend the event can go unrecognised if they so choose.
AFTER PARTY
We are holding an after party in a venue close by. We shall release the location of the after party at the main Carnival Twist event and there will be a rickshaw taxi service to ferry people between the venues. The after party will run from 12am until 6am or later. There will be two rooms, a dance floor and a fully set up live stage for any musicians who would like to jam (or play), DJs to fill in the gaps, plus great décor, light shows and cushions.
