Dawn Gracie (Dawn's Vintage Do) is back with her supper club at Graylingwell Chapel for a Festival of Chichester special
The award winning vintage & cabaret entertainer is a creative, innovative event planner and tells how the idea of a vintage supper club came to mind many years ago
‘’ The idea came to me through my work as a singer on the vintage & cabaret scene, when I identified that entertainment such as this, brings people of all ages together and the immersive nature of my events mean that friendships can be made and the ‘vintage vibe’ appeals to all generations. I am passionate about creating occasions that encourages friendship through fun and I've had a lifelong obsession with nostalgia (and food!) so it all makes sense''
Vintage Supper Club is at the historic and recently renovated Graylingwell Chapel in the north of the City for 2023
✨Graylingwell Chapel, a Grade II listed building that was once part of the former Graylingwell Hospital in Chichester. Since the closure of the hospital in 2001, the entire site has been transformed into residential housing with the remaining hospital buildings converted to private housing, concealed among the new build houses or demolished. The Chapel remains the only original building still accessible to the public ✨
What can you expect at Dawn's Vintage Supper Club?
Guests arrive from 5pm to be welcomed into this beautiful building, and take a seat to mix and mingle with friends new and old. I sing some songs from my favourite eras - the 50s & 60s and the atmosphere is relaxed and cosy and 'supper clubbers' really enjoy this incredible space which - despite being a renovated chapel - has a very homely and warm feel. I really felt this when I first paid a visit shortly after it's grand opening. Fish & Chip Supper (delivered by LA Fish) complete with dessert is served around 6pm! I provide the musical backdrop and people chill out whilst enjoying a lovely early evening filled with nostalgia. The evening wraps up at 8pm''
