Pikes unveils date for its opening weekend

Keep your diary free 21 to 23 April.

We know that many of you have been hanging on news of this... Pikes is officially throwing open its doors on Friday 21 April, celebrating all the way through until Sunday 23 April. Needless to say, the fun continues all season long from that point. Hooray!

Freddies' disco ball is being dusted down as we speak, as well as the haunted taxidermy and all that music memorabilia.

It won't be long now until we're stood at the bar twirling a straw in our piña colada and having our ear bent by an eccentric, recounting a suspiciously tall story. And, yes, we've missed it.

Bring on those balmy nights where it feels like anything could happen - and often does.

Sparking convos with randomers on the sunset terrace, guffawing to stand-up comedy on the tennis court, kidding yourself you're only going for a nightcap but emerging dishevelled from Freddies at lights up, it's all coming back.

We wouldn't like to speculate too much, but we're sure the mercury will start to rise at some point too.

Just as with previous years, signing-up to guestlist via Pikes' website is the best way to, if not ensure then at least, maximise your chance of entry. That function isn't open yet, but you can still register interest to be the first in the know for 2023.

See you on 21 April!
