A new club night in Manchester has been condemned as ‘distasteful and discriminatory’ for offering a ‘free dwarf’ with every VIP table booking.

The Closet, which runs a night at The Oxford Club on Central Street in Manchester, is holding its first ‘Wonderland’ event on Thursday.

One of the packages available to book is the £850 The Ballers Booth, which includes entry for 15 people, a bottle of champagne, four bottles of vodka and mixers and 'a free midget'. The ‘Tweedle Dee’ or ‘Tweedle Dum’ character will wait on the table and ‘dance on demand’, according to organisers.

Other packages available at the new club night - which organisers claim will leave you ‘with question marks hanging over your head - include The Cheapskates Booth at £350, and The Wannabes Booth at £550.

A spokesman for the Restricted Growth Association (RGA) said: “The RGA campaigns for a better society for people with dwarfism and is strongly opposed to events such as these which we believe are distasteful and discriminatory, and can encourage abuse towards our members.

“We were surprised and saddened to learn that The Oxford Club seems to think abuse or toleration of abuse towards people with dwarfism is acceptable. We’d urge them to reconsider their decision to host such events.”

Restricted growth affects approximately 1 in 10,000 births per year and it is estimated that there are around 6,000 people who have a restricted growth condition in the UK.

The club, which is also selling general admission outside of the VIP packages, has already sold out of £6.50 early bird tickets and is now selling advance tickets for £8 for the event, which lasts from 10pm until 5am.
