Compass Presents

Compass Presents to its lycra-clad Shambalans, the playful, twisted glamour of Compass Sands.

Sunbathe in an ambience of seagull, then slink into the velvet womb of a classic seaside ballroom and waltz your way through interactive excellence.

You might find your voice through the lost art of Teleconfusion, send a message in a ‘bottle’ to the woods, or dress up and get down to the stellar sounds of our bands and DJs – barred from every pier from here to Blackpool.
