The Opium Den

Welcome to the Opium Den

About Me

The Opium Den is the brainchild of Miss Amanda Mae Steele and Lydia Morgan with help from their brothers and sisters at Bardens Boudoir. The idea was brewed up over many cups of Opium Tea brewed at Casa Voodoo.
Urban Voodoo King Pin Paul Ronney and his beautiful bride the Lady Ane Angel inspired, cajoled and encouraged Miss Amanda to try and turn her imagination and love of all things dangerous dark and beautiful into a club night. And so the Opium Den was born.
The first one was somewhat spectacular and every one to follow has to exceed expectations.

Be prepared to find yourself on another plane at the Opium Den my friends. It is truly the finest place to visit.The Opium Den is back to bring you fireworks on the 4th July.With performances from the Stillhouse Orchestra, Sam Astley and Craig Temple providing bluesy hillbilly rockin sounds to dance and sing along to and The Opium Den Madame Amanda Mae Steele and Miss Rose Thorne providing the Burlesque you'd be mad to miss it.There will as always be the delectable opium tea served up to those who need it! And also the inimitable Lydia Darling providing the tunes for you to dance to.Why go anywhere else!
