A special treat for all of you capital of culture lovelies: A big night of sparkles, samba, live drumming, fiery dancers, and DJs in Liverpool’s own Rio-style carnival party! Chase the wintery blues away and get some copacabana crazy in Liverpool’s best night out!
A change from their regular venue of the New Picket, the Liverpool Samba School will be shimmying over to the fabulous Latin Quarter this Saturday to bring you their spectacular Carnival club night! A hop and a skip from Hardman St and Renshaw St, is the fabulous El rincon Latino bar, (you can see it from upstairs in the glass atrium at Hannah’s bar, Hardman St) where you can enjoy a big night of Brasilian beats, live drummers, and samba moves –from 10pm til 3am.

Samba school plays at Late at Tate
Roll up roll up, just when you thought the world famous Klimt exhibition showing at Tate Liverpool couldn’t get any more decadent, more sparkling, more vibrant… Liverpool Samba School brings the bling at a specially commissioned performance at Late at Tate, for ‘Gustav Klimt: Painting, Design and Modern Life in Vienna 1900′
Tate and the Liverpool Samba School are perfect partners for the night, bringing together the highly acclaimed exhibition revivifying the spirit of the era in which Klimt lived and worked, and the colour glitz and abandon of the Rio Carnaval.
‘Late at Tate’ is a special concept new on the cultural scene of Liverpool, bringing curators and academics, artists, musicians and performers in combined creative energy together around a visual arts show. With a chance to take in an exhibition after hours, dine, meet up with friends, and enjoy spectacular performances and thought provoking discussions in a world class setting, its a concept worthy of European Capital of Culture.
