Dawn Gracie (Dawn's Vintage Do) is bringing her supper club to life after many years of dreaming of a relaxed early evening social event with food, friends & music - so what better time to launch it than the beginning of the Queens Platinum Jubilee Weekend!
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''
The first Vintage Supper Club will be at the historic and recently renovated Graylingwell Chapel in the north of the City.
✨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 will arrive from 6pm to be welcomed into this beautiful building, and take a seat to mix and mingle with friends new and old. I'll be singing some songs from my favourite eras - the 50s & 60s - and because it's the beginning of the Jubilee weekend, I'll be making sure I add some 1953 songs in honour of the Queens Coronation. I want the atmosphere to be relaxed and cosy and 'supper clubbers' to 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. Supper will be served around 7pm and of course we just HAD to have Coronation chicken* ! I will be providing the musical backdrop and I might even have some special guests joining me! Dancing is welcomed just as much as chilling out and people watching and soaking up the atmosphere. The evening wraps up at 9pm and i'll be wishing everyone a wonderful Jubilee weekend''
