The Small World Guide says: For a truly spectacular night out, nowhere in Shoregrave beats Warped. This converted warehouse offers theme nights throughout the week, including Thursday’s Tight-Laced and Friday’s Punk Out. It’s the only place to be on Saturday nights too, when the DJs compete with everything from fire eaters to cage dancers for your attention. Entrance is pricey, but well worth it for the mix of music and live entertainment. This is one stop on your tour of Shoregrave that you can’t afford to miss.
Yasmin Stoker says: A few people lounged on the shiny leather sofas, watching the anime film playing on the screens surrounding the dance floor. The sound was off, but the usual grinding electronic music pumped through the speaker system, creating a surreal soundtrack for the blonde girls in sailor outfits onscreen. Thursday night was Tight Laced, a fetish night that was popular with a very select crowd. In a few hours the place would be full of corseted girls and boys in faux-Victorian get-up.
