| I think it starts a bit too early, and the drinks a far far too expensive! Apart from that it's a good event with plenty of decent bands and lots of stuff to occupy you inbetween. A bit more variety in the playroom wouldn't go amiss though... |

| After attending a couple of times I'd have to say I was quite impressed with everything. The venue is exellent... great lighting, room to dance, great stalls selling tons of cool stuff that I never bring enough money for (*scowls* hehe), cool people, decent djs and wonderful wonderful bands. Even the cider & black came pre-mixed - it doesn't get much better than that ;) Everybody reading this should attend. I thought it was tons of fun :) |

| I've been going to this event for so many years now, I think that it's great now that it's held two times a year. The stalls sell everything from clothes, CD's (very cheap), jewellary, magazines etc the drinks also seem to be a cheaper now than what they were. Great music from the DJ's and live bands also there are live shows (fashion and fetish)loads of nice people and cool outfits. |

| The Spring one (end of March)was great fun - good music, the live stuff was entertaining (esp the scary bitches - who will be in Whitby - but I can't go -wah !). Drinks ARE a bit expensive, but there are some bargains to be had if you fancy some rubber or other accessories (no credit cards though) ! There's a cash machine in the foyer - don't wait until you're leaving to find it there and miss buying a new rubber shirt... like I did :( |

| Carnival of Souls is great fun. A dancefloor in each of two big rooms, lots of bars and platforms on different levels, loads of great stalls, people in great costumes, and a very kinky and relaxed atmosphere. |

| Been going for about 4 years as a mini Whitby. Live music, DJ, clothes stands and cheap bar. A great day out. Always seem to get really good bands on aswell. And the club itself is amazing. |

| Last year's Carnival was OK, but not as good as the ones of yesteryear at Nottingham Rock City, or Destiny in Derby.
I'm afraid the First Floor doesn't really have the atmosphere for this event, and it wan't that well attended. Filling half the club with stalls was a good idea to make the place seem busy.
The DJing was excellent on the Saturday night, and the headlining band, Theatre Des Vampires were entertaining.
However the best thing about Carnival is the opportunity to meat the wierd and wonderful from across the nation. |

| October 2006 Carnival was a Sunday-nighter at Zanzibar. This place is a bit plusher than last year's venue, and a good choice. Not exactly packed, but vibrant none the less, with children of the night from far afield, as well as Derby goths. Excellent performance by Zeitgeist Zero - shame they were limited to a 20 min slot. |
