The end of our British summer also signals the end of this year’s British Pride events so why not keep the party going at Southampton’s The Edge?

Thursday nights is your night to decide on exactly how to keep the party going by taking along your own mix CD of your favourite five tracks to be played. If one of your song choices gets the best reaction from the crowd that night you can win a thirst-quenching £50 bar tab. Open from 10pm till 3am, with free entry all night, you can party the night away into Friday morning.

Voted Portsmouth’s No.1 traditional pub, The Old Vic also offers up a great selection of weekly live acts along with its regular bingo, karaoke and student nights with cabaret served up every Sunday from 9.30pm. So why not shake off those after-Pride blues, throw on your glad rags and enjoy yourself.
