Checkpoint Charlie

VAULTAGE – Saturday 7th February ⚡

After a cracking night last time round that brought some familiar faces back to the dancefloor, Vaultage returns!

➡️ Run by former Checkpoint resident Mat Carter, this one’s obviously going to be all about quality underground dance music, like-minded people, and a proper little venue with a great sound system and no-nonsense vibes.

Small room. Big energy. Lovely crowd. No ego. Hosted by Mat Carter & Alex Darby, Checkpoint resident Neville Watson joins for this one, with Helen Whitfield on the door.
