Nightfall at Pembroke

As exams came to a close a corner of Pembroke suddenly became a hive of activity as a team of students prepared for the June Event.

If you’d had any reason to wander through chimney court you might have found Eric, who led the décor team, working on everything from faux brickwork to graffiti. Delve into the storage basement and you would find a strange world bathed in red from a huge digital clock. The event that emerged from this chaos was Nightfall, the 2018 June event, and it was clearly worth the effort.

The committee designed the event around the twin themes of vaporwave  and cyberpunk, weaving together a somewhat dystopian event lit in shades of purple, with blinking lights in alleyways and plenty of neon.

Many of the courts had a dreamlike quality to them thanks to some creative lighting and constructions by the decor team. And throughout the event the clocked, glowing ominously red, counted down the hours until the end of the night.

Congratulations to the June event committee for putting together another great event. We can't wait to see what they do next year!
