2nd - 3rd August £3.00 - £119.00

29th July 2024: Event update: Club Marque upgrade tickets have now sold out for this event!

Its absolutely going to be the party of the week…the time to gather friends and family and join us on the lawns at Northwood House as we come to the end of Cowes Week 2024.

Its our Epic Friday Night Party in association with Mermaid Isle of Wight Gin & Henri Lloyd (Cowes) and its absolutely free to enter before 8pm (Subject to capacity), so be sure to get the early as this event is going to pop!

We are delighted to announce that headlining the Epic Friday Night Party will be one of the top tribute bands on the UK festival circuit “Chic to Chic”, who’ll be rocking out the classic hits of Chic and Nile Rogers in a huge set that will have the whole lawns dancing. The incredible 8 piece band will  be featuring  hits like Good Times, Le Freak, Everybody Dance and other Nile’s productions for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Daft Punk and many more! Chic To Chic go to every length to capture the raw funk, soul & disco dynamics of Nile Rodgers’ music and bring it to life on stage. This energy packed experience comes complete with sequins, funky outfits, fun crowd interaction and all of the trimmings that make a Chic to Chic live show an absolute banger!

We’re also delighted to welcome back top local covers band Cornerstone to Northwood House who’ll be here to get the party started from 7.30pm….and it wouldn’t be Cowes Week without a late night finish on the Friday, with the legendary DJ Omar taking us through until from 11pm to 12.45am with a huge dance party after Chic to Chic have graced the Garden Stage. What an Epic Friday Night Party it will be!!

Food will be available all night long from our Lawn Bar catering team from the Garden Cowes, with our bars open until last orders at 12.30am.

We can only fit so many people sensibly  on to the lawn space, so please arrive early if you want to get in.

This is a non ticketed event, with free entry before 8pm…it is extremely likely that we will reach capacity early, after-which admission is one person in and one person out. Admission after 8pm is £10 per person (£4 per child 5-17), so you’ve been forewarned!
