Ultimate 1920s Themed Party: Fabulous Flappers and Charleston Nights
The popular choice for the ladies at fancy-dress 1920s events, Flapper girls are one of the most iconic and memorable visual images of the decade. The period after the First World War was a time of fantastic liberation for women. Jazz music was the perfect soundtrack for vitality, freedom and a carefree nature. The flappers started wearing clothes that were easy to dance in. Higher hemlines and relaxed fits were combined with heels and eye-catching make up. The rest, as they say, is history.
And you can bring a little bit of history into 2022 with our signature 1920s jazz band – The Jazz Spivs – and they can be accompanied by our very own Flapper Girls too. They are sure to get everybody up on the dancefloor for a Charleston – the perfect scene for the ultimate 1920s party

Ultimate 1920s Themed Party: All the style of the Speakeasy
A product of the time, the Prohibition era of the 1920s gave birth to the speakeasy. Speakeasies were the antithesis of the parties enjoyed by the Gatsby Long Island elite. However, with their secretive and underground nature, and dark and dingy settings, speakeasies had a style of their very own.

You can have fun with invitations and enter into the spirit of the original speakeasies by giving a set of clues for your guests to find the secret location of the event.
