The clubnight is organised by 'Life you choose' an arts and multimedia group for adults with learning difficulties. Members of life you choose have put the music together and learnt how to used DJ software and equipment, so will be DJs on the night.

The Buxton Fringe’s longest running venue has received a new lease of life, in the form of a new base above The Clubhouse pub in the centre of town.

After 10 years and 1,500 performances hosted under the historic Old Hall Hotel, Underground Venues were forced to move this year to make way for the multi-million pound Crescent Spa redevelopment project. Luckily their prayers, and those of 70 companies from across the globe, have been answered by the offer of a new home just over the road.
