IT’S time to plan the Christmas party. To decide where you will be going? Will you be out on Christmas Eve? Or dodging endless re-runs and Bond movies on Christmas Day itself? Or perhaps you’re planning on saving yourself for a Boxing Day bonanza?
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you’re clearly a bona fide party animal, set to have a whole lotta fun... and probably a messy morning after. And who can blame you? After all, it would rude not to take a full advantage of those festive licenses.
Read on to discover how you can kick off Christmas Eve at The Lane with Big Bang, or hang off until Christmas night for some techno and house, or even leave it all to one massive party on Boxing night. Then you can breeze into some early evening cheese, courtesy of the immensely lively Trendy Wendy. She’ll be making sure the party vibe continues late into Boxing night with her timeless selection of cheesy tunes guaranteed to have you dancing the night away. If, on the other hand you’re in the mood to lose a few pounds, head to Cab Vol for some pounding beats courtesy of the Soma Crew, back for another techno marathon.
Next week, we’ll have a New Year clubbing guide to ponder including a special offer for Clubland readers heading to Tokyoblu’s Hogmanay bash at The Rutland.
