Nighthawks Vintage Dance Club began when the doors of Hornsey Town Hall opened to the public after having been closed for many years. A beautiful example of Modernist architecture retaining all the features of its original Art Deco interior, it is the perfect setting for a night of dancing to the sounds of the 1930s.

Our next event is our biannual BIG ONE in the main ballroom! This really is a very special event – it happens twice a year and it is the highlight of the calendar for many dancers and vintage enthusiasts as well as those who are new to it all.

Saturday 14th October
