The Afro-Latin Lounge



Calling all Mandinga fans!

Halloween may be done and dusted for another year, but you can still experience some ghoulish goings-on at the Horniman Museum’s tribute to Mexico’s Day of the Dead.

Come and join the likes of Mandinga Arts, puppeteers Theatre of Dolls, and Immersive Theatre company Copperdollar, in celebrating all things macabre this Thursday, 7th November, 6:00pm – 9:00pm.

Grab a creepy cocktail and tuck into some devilishly hot Mexican street food as you enjoy film screenings, live music, DJ sets, dancing, and more; all set against the backdrop of the Horniman’s fascinating collection of sarcophagi, skeletons and taxidermy.

Tickets are just £3 per adult. Pre-book your ticket for this fabulous festive fiesta before they go at http://www.horniman.ac.uk/visit/events/day-of-the-dead-late
