ABOUT GAUDIUM

Groove is in the heart

Gaudium is redefining nightlife for the over-40s, offering a safe environment where dancing takes centre stage and nostalgia reigns supreme.

Designed for those who lived their prime clubbing years in the golden era of house, funk, and disco, Gaudium brings together friends old and new to relive the magic of the dance floor—without any of the hassles or discomforts of your average night out.

Our ethos is simple: celebrate life, music and connection.

We rely on word-of-mouth because Gaudium is more than a party—it's a community. Our music is a journey through time: remixed dance classics from the '90s and 2000s, with some funky house, disco, and hip-hop bangers that keep the energy high. Expect the sounds that defined your early 20s, alongside modern-day tracks that keep the vibes fresh and uplifting. It’s all about reigniting that youthful spark while staying true to the classics we love.

We choose iconic venues that evoke memories from our past, like Embargo Republica and Gallery , and plan to continue the journey across locations across the UK. Gaudium nights are designed for people who want to have a great time without the stresses of mainstream nightlife. No drink spiking fears, no leery strangers and no teenage chaos—just pure, unfiltered fun.

At Gaudium, we honour the hardworking, often overlooked generation who has spent decades juggling family, careers, and life's curveballs. These nights are about reclaiming a piece of yourself: the part that loves to dance, laugh, and let loose. It’s your time to reconnect—with yourself, your friends and the music that shaped your best memories.

Join us, slip on your best dancing shoes, and relive the soundtrack of your life in an unforgettable setting. Once you've experienced Gaudium, you'll wonder why it took this long to find a club night designed just for you.

For the moment Gaudium is just a private, ticketed event curated by a dedicated committee to ensure an unforgettable experience.

GAUDIUM nights are about reclaiming a piece of yourself – the part that loves to dance, laugh and let it all go.

It was such a great event and I loved being able to dance the night away and forget about everything for a moment.
Much merriment was enjoyed by all.  Thanks for encouraging some of us who are normally in bed at 9pm to dust off the leathers!
What fun that was - we loved it. Really excellent. We loved seeing everyone dancing and thought the venue perfect.
What a great party!! Reconnected with many old friends which made the evening. Looking forward to the next one...
