The original knitting rave

Knit. Purl. Drop the bass.

Neon Needles hosts private knitting raves for grown ups who never stopped loving the music. Bring your yarn or borrow ours, then stitch your way through the anthems that defined your Saturday nights.

Secret venues. Small crowds. Big tunes. Dates go to the list first.

Pick your groove

Whether you have been knitting for decades or have never cast on a single stitch, there is a seat on the dance floor with your name on it.

Knit Rave Nights

Our signature event. A private venue, a proper sound system, glowing lights and a room full of needles clicking in time. Our DJs spin old school rave, house, trance and the classics you still know every drop of, while you work on your project. Kettle on, volume up.

Learn to Knit Raves

Never held a needle? Perfect. Our stitch crew teaches cast on, knit and purl in small, patient groups, at the pace of a slow build. You leave with your first finished piece, a new skill for life and a playlist you will want to keep.

Beginner friendly, kit included

Private Party Raves

Turning 50? Getting the old crew back together for a reunion? We bring the DJ, the lights, the yarn and the teachers, then build the whole night around your favourite era and your guest list. Your party, your anthems, your stitches.

Birthdays, reunions, celebrations

Team Unwind Sessions

A team building experience people actually talk about on Monday. Knitting calms the mind, the music lifts the room, and everyone walks out with something they made with their own hands. No trust falls, no awkward icebreakers, just good vibes.

About Us

Born on the dance floor. Born on the needle.

Neon Needles started with a simple question: why should the music stop just because life got busier? Many of us spent our younger years under strobe lights, and our later years discovering that knitting is the best way to switch off. So we put the two together.

What happened next surprised everyone. Rooms full of strangers, needles flying, singing every word to tunes they had not heard in twenty years. Old ravers found their people again. New knitters found a hobby that finally felt like them.

Every night is designed from scratch by people who love the music and respect the craft. No cookie cutter craft evenings, no copycats. Just a community that knows the best way to unwind is with yarn in your hands and a bassline in your chest.

The only knitting rave of its kind.We created this experience, and nobody else does it like us.

Loud enough to feel it

Proper sound, carefully set so you can still chat to the person next to you.

Bright enough to see your stitches

Neon atmosphere with good table lighting, because dropped stitches are no fun.

Comfy seats, real tea

No standing for hours. Dance when you want, knit when you want, rest when you want.

Every level welcome

Seasoned knitters, total beginners, solo guests and groups. You belong here.
