A Very Special 40th Anniversary Screening
Picture this: Mods. Rockers. Pills. Gangsters. Sex. Leslie Ash. Riots. Cops. And the Pikes Tennis court – no, we’re not talking about one of Tony’s lavish parties back in the 80s...
This Wednesday (11th September), as part of the Pikes Literary Festival, join us for an open-air 40th anniversary outdoor screening of the iconic 1979 British film ‘Quadrophenia’ and Q&A with stars of the film Leslie Ash & Mark Wingett.

A Dance with the Devil...
“The Devil pulls the strings which make us dance; We find delight in the most loathsome things; Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings, And we feel only horror in that rank advance.”

Limited Haunted Hotel Packages are on sale now

We have Sunday roast at Pikes booked for the 22nd followed by Tales of the Unexpected, but just saw the Harvey extension through September

Who is Klaus Blatter??
The man, the myth, the former German pornstar. Who is Klaus Blatter? Some call him a techno innovator, others an acid house pioneer but one thing is for sure this week he has emerged from the wilderness & back to the turf where he once partied alongside Tony Pikes in the 80's & 90's.
Come and discover the enigma for yourself this Wednesday for An Evening with Klaus Blatter, celebrating classic acid house all night long.

This chap at Pikes tomorrow evening should be a treat. This interview and some of his tracks is hilarious, well worth a listen, the tunes are great, the lyrics not so but had me in stitches.

Klaus Blatter has clearly taken far too many drugs in his life His accent sounds like a comedy wind-up of a German speaking English. I got about as far as the Bill Gates song before the cringe factor became too much to carry on !!!
