🎄 CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN 🎄

Let this be your weekly reminder that Christmas is coming! 🤶🏼

🎅🏼⏰ 99 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS ⏰🎅🏼

🎊 PARTY NIGHTS 🎊
If your work group, friend group, gym group, book club group or any other group would like to organise something for the festivities, our Party Night is the perfect way to do it! A night where you can dress to impress or wear your worst Christmas jumper with a 3-course meal, drinks galore and a late night boogie on the dance floor with live music - what more do you want!?

💙 CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL 💙
Please keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of our annual Christmas Hamper Appeal - it’s the most important thing we do. Please start thinking of any families or individuals you feel are struggling this Christmas. Struggling at Christmas doesn’t have to be just financial. Loss of a loved one, a Christmas spent alone, a Christmas battling health problems - we want to extend a helping hand to anyone and everyone and it’s a wonderful way to let people know you’re thinking of them.

🦃 FESTIVE LUNCH & DINNER 🦃
If tearing up the dance floor isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, we have festive lunches and dinners available EVERY DAY OF DECEMBER! Your table will be full of all the Festive Cheer with table cloths and Christmas crackers but without the chaos of a Party Night!

To enquire about any of the above, please email [email protected] with some details about what exactly you’re looking for! 📧

We know everyone’s as excited as we are so please be patient while we work through the existing enquiries and you’ll hear back from us soon!

‘Tis the season… almost 🫣
