Go big or go home: London’s best festive events going!

Christmas is not far off, but the party starts early for some of us.

Looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful with affordable drinks? Or perhaps something different, like a sweaty rave, partying away until the morning? We present you a rundown of London’s best nighttime events during the festive season that you won’t want to miss out on!

Fabric

Fabric is holding the biggest end-of-year rave and they are the place to be. If you are a heavy partygoer and enjoy rave scenes, then Fabric is your place. They are known for their underground style, 6am closings and drum and bass events. Fabric gives you that summer Ibiza feeling, which, after a long semester at university, it’s only right you treat yourself to an end-of-year party where you can let loose, drink all night and leave with a guaranteed unforgettable (or involuntarily forgettable) experience.

Expects three rooms of music, with three massive resident DJs and 1500 students. Note: this event sells out every year.

When will this event be held?

Tuesday 13th December, 11pm-4am

Tickets are currently on the second release and start from £15.

Fabric London, 77A Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6HJ
