The Gallifrey Cabaret presents…
THE (XMAS) DOCTOR DISCO!!
Are you ready for the festive club night of a lifetime?
Then take our hands and let's EXTERMINATE the dance floor!!
Rounding off our spectacular sold-out week of Doctor Who Panto at Manchester's HOME theatre, we're throwing a big bangin' party to celebrate – and everyone's invited!*
Our Time and Relative DJs in Space will be playing us through the vortex all night long, with a cosmic jukebox full of Doccy Who classics, queer pop belters, maybe a few festive tunes, and a few surprises… you'll be dancing till you dematerialise!
We've got intergalactic go-gos, a midnight costume runway, themed cocktails, and more wibbly wobbly timey wimey vibes than you can shake a cyberman at – so grab your mates, set your sonics to stunning, and prepare to party like we do back on Gallifrey… FANTASTIC ✨
“Doesn't the universe implode or something if you dance??”
“Well, I've got the moves but I wouldn't want to boast…”
DISCLAIMER: this is an unofficial fan event, not affiliated with the official Doctor Who brand (even tho we love them very very much xoxox)
*You don't need to've attended the cabaret to join the festivities! x
