THE OUTDOOR TERRACE
Anyone remember the first Weekender in 2005? If you were there you probably haven’t forgot the 2 outdoor terrace sessions we held on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, a simply unforgettable experience for both DJ’s, MC’s and ravers alike. This year the Weekender returns to it’s original May slot so we’re able to venture outdoors again to do it all over again.
