Jacksons Lane summons you to a ghoulish feast of blood-curdling burlesque, macabre music, spectral circus and eerie illusion with some horrifically talented artists in this frighteningly fantastic night.
Overseen by the dark lord of comedy magic Christian Lee, expect vampires on ropes, tantalising terrors of tease, ghouls on your lap and gothic glamour all around, including the queen of erotic neo-burlesque, the sensational MisSa Blue.
The ticket includes a chiller cocktail on arrival, with a late bar and special medicinal concoctions to get your fangs into. Book early!
We encourage attendees to dress to distress.
18+ adult content and nudity
Every year we run a fabulous family-friendly performance trail through the House and gardens where you’ll encounter all kinds of spooky characters – ghosts and gouls, witches and werewolves, skeletons and sprites as well as pumpkin fairies, soothsayers and black cats to name but a few! Its a great alternative to trick-or-treating for all the family.

Sundial Sundays: The Popinjays & The Metatrons
Join us in pretty Waterlow Park for a summer BBQ plus a double bill of FREE music as two well-established indie acts perform live on the Tea Lawn…
Indie veterans, The Popinjays, return after a 21 year hiatus. After a critically acclaimed John Peel session, three albums on One Little Indian Records, a US College Radio hit “Vote Elvis”, and tours with They Might Be Giants, The Fatima Mansions, and the Kitchens of Distinction, The Pops called it a day in 1994. Since 2015 they have shared bills with The Darling Buds, The Wonder Stuff, and The Wedding Present. Back with their original set of 90s Indie Pop, Wendy, Polly and the drum machine are currently working on a special limited-edition, legacy release, again with OLI.
The Metatrons are an Indie band from Hitchin. Their second album, “Patterns of Chaos” has recently been featured on BBC6 Music and Sky TV.
Relax on the grass with a burger and a cold drink while you enjoy family-friendly live music as part of our ongoing Sundial Sundays season.
The Popinjays & The Metatrons performance will take place between 2.30 and 4.30pm on 12 August. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. See the full programme of Sundial Sunday performances here.
Sundial Sundays have been generously sponsored by the Co-op Community Fund.
Join us to share your hopes and dreams for a future world by getting involved in a craft project with a difference. Inspired by the Dare to Dream Project by Sarah Corbett, Craftivist Collective, we will be using their Dream-making Kit as a basis for the workshop. All clouds will become part of a group mobile installation at Aladdin’s Cafe before being returned to crafters in December.
Please RSVP to book. Email: sujan.nandanwar@gmail.com
Come at 1pm for lunch and a chat about your recent ‘makes’ or at 2pm for coffee and crafting. All materials included or BYO fabric to upcycle. Sessions FREE on purchase of food or drink from our host, Aladdin’s Cafe, 1 Hazellville Road, N19 3LW.
