Alongside the Margate Book Shop, Margate Arts Club is proud to host the book launch of party historian Imogen Willetts new book UP ALL NIGHT.   The book is a guided tour of history's wildest nights out - piecing together tantalising ephemera and foggy reminiscences from shogunate Japan to noughties Hollywood, and every iconic scene in between.

Free event but let us know you're coming by reserving tickets here.

Up All Night is the story of the good times and the great ones. Who invented jazz? What did 18th century Londoners do for entertainment? Why was Detroit the birthplace of techno? Who built Las Vegas? And of course she talks about Margate Arts Club. And asks the vital question what, in our increasingly online lives, are we missing when we pass up the chance of a big night out?
