What Poppies is

A pop-up for creatives.

Poppies brings small creative crowds together in unexpected places for unique experiences shaped by culture, creativity and curiosity. Like a poppy blooming quietly where you least expect it, bringing a little spark of joy along the way.

Created by Aquamini, a DJ duo and their event company based on the Spanish coast, Poppies grew from their shared passion and love for music, art, creative culture and bringing people together, and a wish for bringing something different the coast, to connect, create, get inspired and simply have a good time.

Around the same time, we crossed paths with Finca El Pilar: a beautiful finca on the Spanish coast, a creative playground and former sculptor’s home, now beginning a new chapter of its own. Two new beginnings met, something clicked and the first Poppies began to take shape.

The night

Follow the poppies in

The evening starts with a playful path that leads you from the gate to the garden, with little surprises along the way. A warm welcome, a Poppies drink in your hand, settle in and have a look around.

As the evening goes on, we’ll move from one setting to the next, with vinyl playing, a lovely selection of fresh food to pick, fun things to discover and plenty of time to connect. When the concert doors open, find your cosy spot and enjoy a special backyard concert in Poppies style ✿

It’s the little things that make Poppies, unexpected finds, people you meet and moments that leave you happy, connected and inspired.

The way in

Cosy by nature
