Free Halloween burlesque and magic tonight at the charity-run North Star

The pub by the Royal Pavilion, run by Team Domenica, opens its Halloween night at 6pm. Entry is free and there's no need to book.

The North Star, the pub next to the Royal Pavilion, holds a free Halloween night from 6pm tonight until midnight. There is no need to book.

Cherry Shakewell and Miss Lily Fortune will perform burlesque sets, and David Stewart will perform magic. Missy Carter, a singing compere, hosts. DJ Peter Von Sleaze plays electro swing and Halloween beats all evening. There are prizes for the best costumes, and an extended happy hour from 6pm to 7.30pm with Halloween cocktails at £5.

The pub belongs to Team Domenica, a charity founded in 2016 that trains people with learning disabilities and autism for paid work. Its staff behind the bar, in the kitchen and on the tables include people with learning disabilities and autism, and all proceeds from the pub go to the charity’s employment programmes.

The charity says 4.7% of adults with a learning disability in England are in paid work, and that 84% of its own candidates find paid jobs through its programmes.
