The Cookout brings Halloween to Milton Keynes for the first time, a full day of drag, brunch vibes, and an Afrobeats vs Dancehall afterparty to close out the night.

Kick things off with a Halloween Drag Brunch hosted by The Cookout Boys with a performance from Vanity Milan, running 2pm-6pm.

To start off the spooky season with a bang, this brunch's theme is dating horror stories. Been ghosted? Survived a dating nightmare? Had a situationship so scary it still haunts you? Come prepared; guests may be invited up to share their best (worst) dating tales live, so bring your most spine-chilling stories and get ready to spook the room.

Expect an afternoon of performance, audience participation, and good company (note: this ticket covers entry only; brunch food is available to purchase separately on the day via the venue).

Then stick around as we transform into an Afrobeats vs Dancehall showdown from 8pm until late, running through to 1:45am. Happy hour runs 7pm-9pm for early arrivals.

Halloween fancy dress is optional and encouraged, otherwise smart casual applies as standard for the venue.
