About this Event
Welcome to the Scallywag Party, a home for all lovers of good times and upbeat live music. Headlining our fringe spectacular is the fantastic high energy, brass driven 9 piece, Chainska Brassika .
We were blown away to have been invited to take over Klub Kaput at Caravanserai on the first Saturday of the finge festival and we are pulling out all the stops to create a truly spectacular scallywag party not to be missed. Alongside amazing live music expect DJ’s, face painting, walkabouts, laughter, tomfoolery and togetherness.
The Scallywag Party have been running festivals, stages and events for over a decade, championing grass roots acts and building a light hearted, live music loving community.
Come join the family and get involved, WE bring the music but YOU make the party!
As always, get your tickets early, our last Caravanserai show was beautifully raucous and sold out way in advance plus the venue is smaller this year so definitely act soon to be part of the action, you won't regret it!
THE LINE UP SO FAR
CHAINSKA BRASSIKA - We are so pleased to present this mischievous rabble from London who have been spreading their contagious horn driven ska anthems across the UK, mainland Europe and beyond for over a decade. They have toured with Madness, Gentleman’s Dub Club, Easy Star All Stars to name a few, as well as had shows at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bestival and Notting Hill Carnival. These guys are the real deal, they've recorded at the legendary Harry J Studios in Jamaica, collaborated with reggae legends such as Toots Hibbert and some of the band regularly play with The Skatalites.
"ChainSka is one of the most impressive and promising acts in the reggae/ska genre that I have seen or heard." Ken Stewart, The Skatalites

Venue - Caravanserai is an unmistakable blend of art, music and community. Known for transforming the streets of the North Laine into a buzzing pop-up world of performance and possibility, Caravanserai is a place where audiences and artists collide — an ever-evolving festival hub built from repurposed caravans, immersive spaces, and a spirit of shared discovery. In 2026, the site once again becomes a central meeting point for the Fringe: free to enter, open to all, and alive with creativity from day to night.
Klub Kaput — a reborn late-night live music venue rising from the legendary Luna Parc. Running every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday throughout May, Klub Kaput promises raw, intimate performances from emerging bands, DJs, and genre-defying artists, while the beloved Junk Poet’s Stage hosts a rich programme of Fringe shows across theatre, comedy, poetry, and more.
At its core, Caravanserai remains what it has always been: an underground sanctuary for connection, experimentation, and unforgettable moments — a place to lose an evening, discover something new, and feel part of the art itself.
Party Safety - We work really hard to create parties that are a welcoming and safe spaces to be enjoyed by all. For your safety, and as with all venues, a security team will be present and conducting bag searches on the door. We trust you understand what is cool and what is not, and any antisocial and/or illegal activity will not be tolerated. In an instance of this trust being broken, inappropriate behaviour will be dealt with nicely but firmly and swiftly. Thank you for keeping all our previous events so safe, we really appreciate your help and the way the Scallywag family looks out for each other, long may it continue!
Come join the party!
