Hope and Social | Domino Rally | at The Old Woollen

Details

A terrifying 13 years after the now “legendary” Sleep Sound Garden Party, Hope & Social return with another all-you-can-eat summertime extravaganza. Hope & Social’s Domino Rally will deliver to you, our trusty and fearless gig-goer, some of the best and most ludicrous entertainment money can buy. Soul quenching music? Tick. Lip smacking food treats? Tick. Ill-advised and poorly prepared domino based activities? Tick tick tick. If you’ve been to a Hope & Social event before then you know what to expect…if you haven’t then strap in for the time of your lives.

We’re teaming up with the wonderful Old Woollen at Sunnybank Mills for this one and our day of non-stop mirth will be happening in their beautiful surroundings. Music, food, beer, workshops, discos, dominoes…we’ve got it all.

The full line up will be announced gradually in a cynical attempt to sell more tickets.
