Christmas Sharer Party - Friday 11th December

MERKUR Casino Milton Keynes is hosting a Christmas Sharer Party on Friday 11 December, one of those festive nights you can book for a small group rather than having to organise a whole private function yourself. It's a shared space, so you'll be in the room with other tables, which usually means the atmosphere picks up a bit faster than it does when you're just with your own work crowd.

The main draw is a three-course meal prepared by Brothers Supper, so you've got the food sorted for the evening. It's a full sit-down affair, which is the anchor of the night. Once the meal is out of the way, the music takes over: there's a live band and DJs on the decks, so the evening moves from the table to the dancefloor. Between the food and the music, it's set up as a complete night out rather than just a dinner.

It's a sharer party, which is the key bit of the name. Instead of hiring out a whole room and worrying about filling it, you book a table for your group and share the venue with others. It's a good shout if you've only got a handful of people to bring along but still want the full Christmas party setup—the meal, the live music, and the DJs—without the stress of coordinating a massive guest list.

It kicks off at 19:00 at MERKUR Casino Milton Keynes, and tickets start from £65.71.
