Some of the greatest times of my life have been spent at parties surrounded by friends. When humans get together with music and alcohol, wonderfully fun things can happen.
On top of good company and good wine, a location can really set apart a decent party from a spectacular one.

Although the event you plan may be a bit more low key, have a read through to get inspiration from some of the best venues in the world.

The Warehouse Project in Manchester’s Piccadilly is a 10,000 capacity nightclub that has played host to some of the best dance acts in the world.

Full Moon parties are being celebrated the world over as a poor excuse to jazz up a slow Thursday in a grim London nightclub. I would recommend booking your flight and heading out to the Full Moon party held at Koh Phangan in Thailand, where the moon is said to be brightest and most beautiful.

Schottenhamel at Munich Oktoberfest is where the festival is opened and the first pints are consumed.

Many of Munich’s young people are making this venue their location of choice to celebrate Oktoberfest, making the Schottenhamel one of the best party venues in Germany.
Fabric, based in Farringdon, London is home to one of the best nights out London has to offer. The massive venue has five rooms of different music styles and, along with the huge dance floors, there are lots of hiding place and cubby holes to create a fun atmosphere. Often there are suprise MCs to draw in the crowds and add an air of unpredictability to what has been voted one of the best venues in the world.
