Friday and Sunday Socials are in the:
Danish Club
36 Austin St, Newstead
The club has a purpose-built sprung timber dance floor and is well air-conditioned.
The Danish Bar will be serving a selection of Danish beers, schnapps, and wine.
Saturday Night Social will be held at:
Elements Collective
17 McLachlan St, Fortitude Valley
We’ll be in the large upstairs room. It has a beautiful polished timber floor with a buttery smooth finish you will absolutely love to shuffle on (please make sure the soles of your shoes are carefully brushed free of any grit to help keep it lovely).
The venue is air-conditioned and conveniently located for good public transport options. It is also near many good food options!
Car parking in the area is fairly limited. A paid “Secure Parking – 388 Brunswick Street” is located directly behind the venue (entrance on Berwick Street) with a weekend parking rate, although larger cars may find it a bit tight. There are some other parking facilities in the area and some on-street parking (check signage carefully to avoid a fine). Consider carpooling or using a ride service.
