As well as a weekend saturday night Kinetic night, there is also a weekly gay night which has even attracted interest from MTV, and a Thursday student night with a different theme each week, including foam parties (with foam often reaching as high as the roof of the basement) snow parties, water fights (with over 2000 water guns provided) and fancy dress nights. There is also a thriving bar, as well as the main dance floor and smaller dance floor, and also an outside smoking area with heater lights and perfectly comfy seating. As well as being within five minutes of the city center and the Oxford train station, it is also just around the corner from a taxi rank. It can also be booked out for private parties regularly and the staff are all extremely outgoing and friendly, and will often get involved with the fun. That is why I recommend Coven II as one of the best nights out in the whole of the country.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17683 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17534 Some of the best new dance I've seen (Memento Mori, Tanya Khabarova).

The best of the Edinburgh fringe and brand spanking new plays so fresh they still creak a little bit.

Occasionally the purveyors of arty nonsense. You can always leg it at the half if it's bad. Some great theatre and the odd hilarious turkey.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16964
Sometimes the work is fantastic and sometimes it is not so good - but the low ticket price makes it worth the risk. Their biannual festival, Avant-Garde-Arama is an experience worth the risk.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16964 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12995 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12995 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12580
The bar is featured in Wong Kar-Wai's film Happy Together.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12580 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11976
On the 31st of March, from 8pm, for over eight hours several of the major thoroughfares and plazas, and particularly the Rio Turia, Valencia's wonderful Park, will see over thirty spectaculars. From theatre to music to dance to acrobatics and fireworks. It's all to celebrate the beginning of the America's Cup, which takes place from April to July in the port.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11976 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11585
A swinging band provide the thumping beat, and salsa dancers bump and grind on the packed dancefloor. Let the cerveza and salsa flow.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11585 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10765
Airconditioned and therefore a nice place to go to especially in the summer.

You need to get your tickets before 7.00 p.m. on the door and that way find out if the venue is open to the public that day.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10765 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10568 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10568 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9517 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9517 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9039 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9039 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8710 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8710 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8381
Alternatively if you are fluent in Spanish and not afraid to stick out a mile - mix it up with the youth of the town in Chocolat y Fresca - another unlikely venue that bears witness to some truly astonishing dancing on a Friday night.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8381 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5375 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5375 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4182 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4182 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2250
It's all very French, but not in the English meaning of the word, friendly, definitively hetero friendly and although a bit studenty sometimes it's a great place to go out and dance to your heart's content without the hassle of trendier places. They also run a busy programme of activities during the week, and a bar next door (Rue des Virtus)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2250 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1547
All samba schools run ensaios, usually on the weekends, but Salgueiro is one of the more conveniently located. Just hop in a taxi and ask for "a quadra do Salgueiro".]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1547
