Day Fever, which was created by McClure and her husband Jonny Owen, is aimed at over 30s who crave a nostalgic nightclub experience - but without all the unwanted bits that come with age. 

Over the past three months, Day Fever has held sold-out events in Sheffield, London and Merthyr Tidfil. 

Further dates in Nottingham, London, Manchester, and Sheffield will take place in February and March, with all tickets snapped up within hours. 

In an interview with MailOnline, McClure has revealed that the inspiration behind the club came from a desire to revel in nostalgia. 

Dance with someone new

She said: “'The world is very digital now, and this is a chance to put your phone down for a minute and have a chat and a dance with someone new.

“I wanted to recreate a nightclub how I remember them which is great music, a decent bar and people up dancing.”

Her idea was brought to life by friend Jimmy O’Hara, the co-founder of Sheffield’s Tramlines festival. 

Nottingham’s Day Fever event will take place on Saturday, March 30, at the Stealth nightclub. 

The partying will end at 8pm, ensuring that guests will make it home in time for the evening telly. 

A second Nottingham date has not yet been announced, but avid partygoers can sign-up here to join the waiting list.
