In the 1930s, The Aerodrome pageants drew huge crowds and were a chance for spectators to see aircraft fly, to experience technology they had never seen before and to see the Royal Air Force in action. This Centenary year we will be bringing this tradition back to the Hendon Aerodrome, which is now home to the newly transformed Museum. Join us for this family festival that will capture some of the magic of the past Hendon Pageants.

- Live vintage music including Silver Ghost, Auntie Maureen and Joe Thomas
- Lancaster Flypast
- RAF Museum vehicle display
- community and local interest stands
- RAF Museum Second hand book shop and Magpie Amore vintage stand
- Swing dancing demonstrations and lessons from Swing Patrol
- Living History areas with re-enactors bringing the 30s to life
- Vintage fairground, including a coconut shy, high striker, swing boats and more
- Face painting
- Giant lawn games

 

 

With something for the whole family, this is a day not to be missed! The event is free to enter, just pick up tickets for some of activities in the Museum shop – prices start from 50p!

Doors 7.30pm, 1st set 9pm

The Blues Kitchen

"The Candlelight Club really is the closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold."
Time Out

suggest prior booking: Book Here

Celebrate in Jazz Age style, with live music from spectral minstrels The Silver Ghosts, dark cabaret from Champagne Charlie, DJing from Auntie Maureen.

Doors 7.30pm - First set 9.00pm - Finish midnight
The Blues Kitchen

The Candlelight Club is a clandestine pop-up cocktail party in a secret London venue, a stunning, tucked-away den with a 1920s speakeasy flavour, completely lit by candles. Each event offers an elegant cocktail menu, sophisticated dining options all night, plus dancing to live music and vintage DJing. Sometimes there is also cabaret, dance acts, burlesque and more…

Your jazz age musical revivalists' choice of numbers mixes fun and interesting dancable obscurities that were big hits of the period, performing a mix of high spirited winners and adding familiar swingin' faves for your dancing pleasure. 
The Blues Kitchen

In addition to a well-stocked bar of exquisite cocktails, Champagne, wine and beer, the kitchens will also be open all night. Why not choose the pre-order fine-dining option, which gives you a three-course set menu? There will also be a menu of platters and bar snacks available to order on the night, and it is also possible to reserve tables with Champagne but without the set menu.

The establishment even sell cigars, so you can sit outside in the private candlelit courtyard, puffing on a stoogie like a Mob Boss.

The Blues Kitchen
Tickets to The Candlelight Club cover entry and entertainment but do not guarantee a seat at a table. Some of the tables in the venues are freely available on a first come, first served basis. However, seating is limited (about enough for two thirds of the guests) so if you wish to reserve a table you may do so for an extra charge, which includes Champagne on arrival.

A small table costs £65 (on top of your ticket price), includes a bottle of the house Champagne and can seat up to five people.

A large table is £130, includes two bottles of house Champagne and can seat up to ten people.
