please find details of Tropicana's very special 'Escape from New York' Easter Sunday Roof Top party and all nighters taking place on Easter Sunday. The daytime party will be taking place on the rather fabulous roof top terrace 5 floors above the newly opened Queen of Hoxton with panoramic views of the whole of East London. This actually will be the first soiree to take place on the Queen's amazing Roof Terrace which is a lovely size with a 250 capacity and very plush with astroturf flooring, cocktail bar (as it is Tropicana), Palm Tree's, Bamboo fencing and the venue's caterers will be laying on a tasty bbq for the day time session. The party all kicks off early afternoon on the full function one sound install gradually building up through the afternoon and into the early evening to get everyone in the party spirit. The rooftop location will be decorated in true Tropicana style for the party as Neil & Dan launch the first in a series of very special monthly terrace parties and If the weather does play up don't worry provisions will be made to make sure the party will still take place we promise. Once the rooftop terrace party finishes mid evening we then take the party downstairs to the 450 capacity 2 floored Queen of Hoxton for a proper all night bank holiday session. (Day ticket holders get in for nothing) taking things a little bit darker in the booming basement and a proper disco session on the ground floor
