Winston Kingdom

Medieval Centre & Red Light District


Even non-clubbers will love Winston Kingdom for its indie-alternative music beats, great DJs and live bands. No matter what's on – from 'dubstep mayhem' to Thailand-style full-moon parties – the scene can get pretty wild in this good-time little space inside St Christopher's at the Winston. Check its agenda for events.
