Evil Ever After - Halloween Party

Evil Ever After is a fairy-tale villain Halloween party at Park Street Performing Arts Centre on Sunday 25 October. It's built for the whole family, so it works as a night out with the kids as much as one with friends. The evening runs through live performances, a disco, games and prizes, and fancy dress is highly encouraged — they're suggesting Disney villains as a starting point, so if you've got a Maleficent or a Jafar in the wardrobe, this is the night to bring it out.

One thing to keep in mind is that children aged 12 and below need to be accompanied by an adult, so it's definitely one for the parents to tag along to. The venue itself is worth a bit of context if you haven't been: Park Street Performing Arts Centre stands on the site of the former nightclub Silhouette and was converted into a hub for acting and dance instruction. They run tap, ballet, modern and musical theatre for students from toddlers right up to adults, and offer Trinity Guildhall Drama tuition too.

Inside, there's a small, intimate theatre that seats up to 70. It's a space that's seen its fair share of musical theatre over the years, with productions like Urinetown the Musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Jekyll and Hyde the Musical and Children of Eden all crossing its stage. That theatrical background fits the bill here, too, with the live performances and the fancy dress taking centre stage. It's a fairy-tale villain party in the middle of Hull, on the Sunday before Halloween, and it's open to all ages.
