Free all-day Christmas party day at The Tarbet in Corstorphine with a free jukebox to build your own soundtrack.
Mad Friday is taking over The Tarbet on Friday 18 December, and it's running all day. If you're not familiar with the name, it's the one we give to the day so many people finish work for Christmas — that sudden, collective break that marks the start of the holidays. The day is framed as a festive excuse to get together with friends, colleagues and family and kick off the Christmas celebrations, so it's as much about who you bring along as what's on.
There's one particular thing to do while you're there: the venue's free jukebox. It's open all day, and you can take it over, picking your favourite songs and building your own Christmas party soundtrack as you go. It's a simple enough setup — you choose the tracks, they play, and you can keep adding to the list throughout the day. If you're heading in with a group, it's an easy way to let everyone have their say on the music.

The Tarbet is at 243 St John's Road, Corstorphine, in the west of the city, so it's a bit of a trek from the centre if you're coming from town, but it's a local spot in the west end. Entry is free, and it runs all day, so you can drop in whenever suits you best — whether that's straight after work or later in the afternoon. If you're planning to gather a crowd, it's a good one to keep in mind for that pre-Christmas window when everyone's finally off the clock.
