3rd October 2023 - 4th October 2023
Event Navigation
The glasses are polished, the lights are down low, and time will be hoping. The Bar at the Edge of Time waits only for you, so what are you waiting for?
Leave the hours, minutes, and seconds behind, step across the threshold and meet the bar’s maestro mixologists, crooners and hosts. But a mystery lies at the heart of this place, a mystery hidden even from them. One that can only be solved when we spend our time together.
