TowerBlaster BBQ

Big hugs to all who came down and shared a beautiful sunset. Partying on a tower on the cliff edge has never been so fun!

Angel Hugs - Heavenly Themed Safari Reunion

A FREE London Day of Hugs reunion party held on Sat 20th June to showcase the many photos and movies from our safari expedition!

Named ANGEL HUGS after the location and fancy dress theme.

The recently opened Bar Sequence near Angel offers no less than 7 high quality projectors and a super tight sound system. Their selection of cocktails and wines is extensive, whilst a pint of beer is still only £3.50!

DJ's included Simon Wynn, Chris Gainer, Cousin G and Formless.

Day of Hugs 24hr "On Safari" Party

Day of Hugs "On Safari" was by far the best party we have ever thrown. Thank you everyone who made it possible. Check out new featured photos every day!

Global House hosted an area (decorated by Sparkly Nuts) delivering the finest Electro and Breaks with DJ's playing from a 1950's Land Rover whilst Cheetahs danced on the bonnet! A Different World gave us chilled alternative vibes all night long. The Day of Hugs tent continued to deliver the sort of underground House and Techno our reputation has been built on.

The gates opened at 2pm on Saturday 25th April. Those who arrived early bagged the best camping spots and enjoyed the sunshine and workshops including hooping (Hoop Dance Heaven), juggling (Flame Fireshows), drumming and more. At sunset the Secret Garden Party crew entertained us with fire hooping and gifts for the king. They were followed by Flame Fireshows giving us an incredible taste of what their Southern Lights festival has to offer. Strumpets with Crumpets provided very tasty food (and views) throughout the 24 hours.

Sunset Tower Party (Pre Hug)

Partying around a tower on the edge of a crumbly cliff before the setting sun. Chances like this only come around once!

It rocked! DJ's on the balcony, hats on the horizon and tunes in the stratosphere.......

Special thanks to all the DJ's, the Masheads, Oz & Bogey!

Day of Hugs 1

To the hundred or so of you who came (especially those who helped out in the preparations and clear up) I would like to say thanks for making it such a special party!

A big thanks to all the DJ's, the Bristol crew, the Brighton crew and the Mashheads (whose numbers are multiplying daily). I would also like to thank all the Purbeck locals who made it extra special with their presence.
