London night czar Amy Lame and club promoter Dan Beaumont will be among the speakers at DIY Club’s Keeping London nightlife alive event.

Taking place at Goldsmiths University on 1 March, the panel will also see Sink the Pink’s Amy Redmond and Rhythm Section’s Anu participating in the debate.

The discussions will focus on the current challenges and opportunities facing the nightlife industry.

It will be followed by a ‘hackathon’ style workshop aimed at equipping attendees with everything they need to know to run their own club night.

The 1 March will be first in a series of DIY Club collaborations between Goldsmiths and club promoters Stevie Wonderland.

According to organisers, ‘recent campaigns have done a fantastic job in highlighting the increasingly worrying state of nighttime culture in London: from the Save Fabric campaign, to the introduction of a night mayor for London and coverage across major news outlets, people are beginning to take the initiative to address the situation and tackle the problem.

‘Where do we go next? The answer lies with you and here’s how: we’ve teamed up with Goldsmiths University to present DIY Club - a series of events aimed to inform, inspire and give you the tools and support to go out and put on your own event that will help keep London’s nightlife alive.’

The mentorship programme will look to advise on all aspects of running a successful club night including promotion, stage and set design, live visuals and artwork.
