Calling all Dirty Dancing fans! Have the time of your life this summer, as the classic film gets the Secret Cinema treatment — for three weeks only.
Those wizards at Secret Cinema have recreated Kellerman's, the location where sparks fly between Frances "Baby" Houseman, and dance instructor Johnny Castle.
Don your best dancing shoes and travel back to the summer of '63 for an epic three-hour immersive experience among the ups, downs, dance moves and fall-outs in the Catskills. Try your hand at croquet, shuffleboard and other games, or get your family together and compete for the Kellerman's cup in sports such as volleyball, mini golf and wacky races.
Wander around Kellerman's and mingle with other guests with some remarkable surprises on the way. You may hear rumours and secret whispers, but ultimately it's up to you to decide if you dare follow the temptation and sneak out after dark.
We can't give too much away — Secret Cinema excels at surprises, and this production will be no exception — but we do know there will be food, exotic cocktails, and a chance to shake those hips during a cha-cha lesson with Johnny. As with all Secret Cinema events, photography and filming aren't allowed, so that you can fully immerse yourself in the moment without any distractions, and to keep the surprise for future Kellerman's guests.
Never seen the film? Not a problem — what better way to experience it for the first time than to be immersed in it. Expect romance, family fights, and plenty of dancing. A very special screening of the film takes place after the immersive experience too, with key scenes acted out on stage at the same time — known as mirror moments. This really is the full package.
Getting dressed up is what Secret Cinema is all about, so don't be shy when putting your costume together (watermelon optional). Nothing in your wardrobe? You can stock up on all the essentials at the Kellerman's Mountain House Store before you arrive, and the Kellerman's Mountain House website will give you a sneak peek of what to expect on the night. It's an outdoor event, so get those sunnies out and make the most of summer in the Catskills. Their secret zone 3 location — somewhere in west London — is only revealed to ticket holders, adding to the air of mystery and anticipation around Secret Cinema's latest production.
Secret Cinema presents Dirty Dancing takes place 13-31 July 2022 at a secret London location. Tickets start at £35 and must be booked in advance. It's an 18+ event.
