'Exclusive' monthly speakeasy gin club inspired by the roaring 20s will debut in Northampton in New Year

On January 25 2020, Delapre Abbey will host the inaugural evening of the Bouverie Saloon - a 1920s-inspired speakeasy club where membership is a must.

The Bouverie Saloon is a new late-night club that will swing open its stylish doors just once a month to create a late-night world filled with lashings of gin, prohibition-era entertainment and a dash of impromptu education in all things gin-related.

Tucked inside the Grade-II listed stately home's Bouverie Suite, the club is inspired by the speakeasy gin lounges of 1920s America - where membership was often only open to guests 'in the know' or else risk being busted up by the police.

'Members' are invited to dress up for the monthly occasion - but they will only get inside if they apply for a free membership online. A £15 entrance fee is also payable, which comes with complimentary 'clover club' cocktail.

The saloon has been launched by Northampton's-own 'The Gin Lady' Su Patterson, who says the monthly club is a chance to sip from over 40 gins from around the globe in the gold-embossed suite and learn all about the drink’s origins.

Su said: "We are absolutely honoured to be invited by Delapré Abbey to launch this amazing new gin adventure.

“We could not think of a more opulent, old- school setting to complement our evenings of indulgence, fun and education.”

The club will also feature a monthly line-up of vaudevillian theatrics, cabaret, comedy and swing jazz.
