The Music
The music is all dance music though – with the multiple dance floors and Djs - you’re sure to find something you like. The top floor is more main stream but if you are a dance fanatic and you’re going for the tunes then you’ll leave happy. Egg is the place where you can hear real music, hang out with a savvy crowd and chill in the laid back atmosphere.

The Place
Egg unique garden -complete with a balcony terrace; bars; decks; hammocks; bean bags and sexy clubbers – is what makes it brilliantly different from the rest. Expect open air DJ performances in the summer. Inside, clubbers are greeted by a glistening interior. There are 3 floors – the ground floor has an industrial look and feel; the middle is where you’ll find the VIP area; while the NY NY styled loft bar serves up luxury and style. The ‘Funkition One’ award winning sound system is installed on every floor. Typically Frid/Sat/Sun entrance is £15/£10 conc but you may want to check the site for details.
