Goth Social Night is an opportunity to gather with other like-minded, alternative folks for social activities other than dancing or live music.
We’ve created spaces for a variety of activities, all in one venue.
Witch and Stitch – an alternative arts and crafts gathering where you can meet and hang out with other artists and artisans. Bring a current project that is non-messy/non-smelly, packs up easily, and does not require a hydro connection. Or just bring a sketch pad and draw. All skill levels welcome.
Location: Main Room alcove
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Art & Craft Supply Swap – we’ve rolled our popular art and craft supply swap into this event. Bring any usable art/craft supplies in good condition that you no longer want/need. We’ll have a table available at the craft club for people to leave some stuff or take some stuff.
Location: Main Room alcove
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Cookie Decorating – Decorate your own holiday cookies with Shannon from Sheileen’s Sweet Salutations. Participants will get 6 of Sheileen’s scrumptious sugar cookies and a variety of frostings and decorations to create your own bespoke cookies. Classes will be limited in number — sign up at the door when you arrive.
Location: stage
Time: TBD
Cost: $20 for materials, in addition to admission
Goth Book Club – Moderator Stephanie Quinlan hosts a one-hour discussion on the theme of vampires in fiction. There is no required reading for this book club, but participants should have a general knowledge of the more well-known vampire-themed works such as Dracula, Interview With the Vampire, etc..
Location: Front Lounge dance floor
Time: 7:15pm – 8:15pm
Games Night – Changeling Gaming hosts a board game night with a variety of games and skill levels. Come as a group or solo and they’ll pair you up with other players.

Music Discussion Group: DJ Greg Clow will host a one hour listening group and discussion. Info on the topic/band coming soon.

Please support our amazing venue by purchasing a beverage. Ground Control offers coffee, tea, bottled water and soda, as well as both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, wine and cocktails.

Note – Goth Social Night is an experiment, and future occurrences will depend on attendance for our first event. If the turn-out is good, we will do more nights like this in the new year, and will consider adding other/different activities as well. Please come out and support us so we can support the community.
