The (Long) Weekender: six jams you won't want to miss in the UK
The calendar is spoiling us with another bank holiday – and we’re here to help you make the most of it with our round-up of what’s on at the Houses
Thursday 28 April 2022 By Soho House
It’s almost time for that delicious May bank holiday – the one that everyone forgets about until it lands in their lap. It’s like finding a forgotten bank note in your trouser pocket, or waking with a jolt at 7am for work and realising it’s actually Saturday. Phew. Not made any plans? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
1. cktrl’s final residency show at Shoreditch House
As content making beats by himself at home in Lewisham as he is among this generation’s fashion and cultural vanguards, cktrl has a tune for every occasion. Join him and some of his favourite guests as he plays his last residency gig for us at Shoreditch House – you won’t want to miss this.
Book this event for you and your guests here.
2. UK garage in the House: DJ Spoony at 40 Greek Street
Head to Soho to celebrate UK garage with the legendary DJ Spoony, who was part of the iconic Dreem Teem alongside Mikee B (of Top Buzz) and Timmi Magic on Kiss 100 in the 1990s. Expect nostalgic good times of the pre-Y2K variety.

3. Carnival Colours showcase at White City Studio
During bank holiday, partying is not to be missed. Luckily for you, White City Studio presents Carnival Colours, a showcase of models masquerading their most vibrant outfits. Bringing an authentic taste of the Caribbean carnival experience to London since exploding onto the UK scene in 2015, Carnival Colours has consistently showered the streets of London’s Notting Hill Carnival with colour and pure vibes.
