Christmas Party Night with Live Entertainment

Holiday Inn Nottingham by IHG is hosting a Christmas party night on Friday 11 December, with live entertainment as the main draw. It's one of those all-in-one evenings that works well if you're sorting out a group get-together and don't want to juggle separate bookings for food and music. The night is built around two things: a sit-down dinner and a live act to keep the room moving once the plates are cleared.

The timing is set for a full evening. Arrival is at 7.00pm, with dinner served half an hour later at 7.30pm. That leaves plenty of room to settle in and get the food out of the way before the live entertainment takes over for the rest of the night. Carriages are at midnight, so it runs from early evening straight through to the early hours.

Location-wise, it's at the Holiday Inn Nottingham by IHG in Castle Marina, on Castle Bridge Road, within Castle Marina Park (NG7 1GX). It's a bit of a trek from the city centre, but having everything under one roof means you aren't hopping between a restaurant and a club, which is usually the hardest part of planning a Christmas night out. Tickets are £49.95 per person, and that covers both the meal and the entertainment.
