Christmas Classics Disco Brunch

DJ Richelle is taking over The Hub on Verulam for a Christmas Classics Disco Brunch on Saturday 12 December, and it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a morning session in the Hub's Open Kitchen, so you're getting the brunch and the music in one go rather than heading out for a late one.

Richelle's set is built around two things: Christmas classics and disco anthems. The Christmas side is the familiar stuff — the songs that come out of the speakers the moment December hits — and the disco side is the dancefloor filler that keeps it from feeling like a slow burn. It's a mix of the two running together, so you'll get the festive tracks and the disco hits side by side rather than one after the other.

Because it's in the Open Kitchen, you're right where the food is being prepped, and the music is the backdrop to the meal. It's a daytime thing, so it's a different way of doing the Christmas party circuit — brunch instead of drinks, and mid-morning instead of midnight.

It runs from 10:00 on Saturday 12 December and goes for three hours, so you're in and out well before the afternoon. There's no entry fee, so you just pay for what you eat and drink. If you're looking for a way to get the festive season moving without staying up until the early hours, this is a straightforward one to slot in.
