About

Life is full of rules. Do this. Don't do that. Wear this. Don't wear that. Sports. Games. Food and drink. Nights away.

No spikes in the bar. 18 holes. No drinks outside after 9.30pm. Jacket & tie & you know what we’ve all had enough of this, thanks. Who put the killjoys in charge?

So here's a space for the mavericks. The unruly. The friendship groups you wish you were in. The families you want to hang out with. For evenings that go on forever. And weekends that become folklore.

Go for a good time. Go for a long time. for a Go breath of fresh air. Whoever you are. Go as you are.

Welcome to Mad Swans.
