what to expect
We’re teaming up with Natalie and Tilly — the sisters behind Sorelle — to turn their beautiful countryside spot into an Italian-style speakeasy for one night only.
Think: great aperitivo, incredible cocktails, and live jazz to start the night, before things get a bit looser with party tunes and dancing ‘til midnight.
Our two ticket options allow for flexibility when booking. Choose from either 'standard entry' for general access to the event or 'premium entry' which includes your own exclusive table, a cocktail on arrival and an aperitivo platter to kick start your evening.
Dress code: 'Vintage Glamour'
Arrival: From 7pm (staggered timings will be confirmed after booking)
Carriages: Midnight
About Sorelle
Sorelle is a small, seasonal café and event space just outside Shaftesbury, run by sisters Natalie and Tilly. They’re all about unfussy, flavour-first food inspired by Italian cooking — think shared plates, good wine, good company. We love what they’re doing, so we’ve teamed up to throw something a bit special.
Drinks by Maxfield & Dyer
We’ve put together a cocktail list inspired by Italian flavours, seasonality and a few ingredients we’re a bit obsessed with.
We’ll be serving up classics with a twist — Negronis, Gin Martinis (with an olive, of course) — plus a few of our own creations, such as:
Bay of Naples – Finocchietto (wild fennel liqueur), grapefruit, bay leaf tincture, soda
Velvet Hour – Aged rum, amaro, balsamic cherry shrub, chocolate
Pearl of Turin (non-alcoholic) – Pear cordial, chinotto, lime & salt
There’ll be something for everyone — whether you're on the booze or not.
Music & atmosphere
To kick things off, we’ve got live jazz from the incredible Pete Maxfield Trio – yes, that’s Maxfield as in my dad. He’s bringing a trio of top-tier jazz musicians to set the tone with smooth, low-lit speakeasy energy.
Once the live set wraps, we’ll keep the good times rolling with a mix of party tunes and dancefloor energy until midnight.
