Do I need to dress up ?
Over the last 6 Ain't It Funky events most people have made the effort and got into the vibe. For some it's been a simple accessory representing their favourite band or genre. Others have taken it to another level.

Can I bring the family along?
When we first started Ain't It Funky, we wanted to create a fun, safe space for all the family to enjoy and to treasure a memory from the night. The night is filled with music, dancing, games, food and fashion.
Note: It will be loud and have flashing lights on stage there will be smoke effects. For your assistance there will be stewards available throughout the evening.
New for this year we have opened the balcony so you can enjoy the show from up there.
