What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 28th August

Welcome to a lovely short week! 

It might only be August (just), but before you know it, September will have been and gone, Halloween and Bonfire Night a distant memory, and then its Christmas.

Whilst we are of the opinion that Christmas should really start and end in December, in events you have to forward plan and since Easter, we have been inundated with news from venues about their Christmas schedules and programmes for 2012.

So, seeing as its a short, silly week, lets all don our winter woollies (given the weather not as daft a suggestion as it sounds), grab some hot chocolate, sit on Santa's lap and take a look at some of the great offerings around for you to consider for Christmas 2012.

Book early, and through Cloud 9, you might just be glad you did.....

If you are looking for a spectacular venue with an edge then you might want to try the Ministry of Sound - one of the few centric spaces which can guarantee an exciting event experience, with an award winning lighting and sound rig coming as standard. The venue can accommodate parties for 100 to 1500 guests, and can support a range of catering options from light canapés to a seated banquet, with menus from just £10.00pp. So, if you want something a bit different then the Ministry of Sound can organise everything from an Amusement Arcade to a Roller Disco, so dig out your leg warmers and party! London based but worth the trip.


If you are looking for something a bit closer to home (for our Nottingham clients) then you could try a Marco Pierre White Christmas at the Alea Casino in Nottingham.  In addition to a unique dining experience, there are also party nights throughout December with prices from just £28.00pp.  Whether its Legends of Vegas, Dirty Dancing, Take That, Abba, Grease or George Michael that floats your boat, then there is something for you in the run up to Christmas.  Reasonably priced buffets and set menus are available, and for those who want to push the boat out, then you might want to try the Marco Pierre White New Year’s Eve Dinner & Ball. Additionally Alea are offering some exceptional "experience" packages from just £10 which includes a drink, 30 minutes of tuition on Blackjack or Roulette and £2 free bet. You could win back the cost of your night!


You could also take advantage and book early at one of our favourite venues in the region, The Nottingham Belfry. There are numerous choices on offer including Classic Christmas Party Nights,  Disco Inferno Nights for those who love 70's and 80's music, and even Warm Up Nights in the run up to Christmas. With prices from just £20.00 per person and lots of fabulous accommodation deals, the Nottingham Belfry is a great option for the festive season. The Belfry also offers a great New Year Getaway with prices from just £139.00 and is also offering some fabulous deals for those visiting friends and family in the area from just £65.00 per room including breakfast.



If you fancy a more traditional celebration this Christmas then you might want to consider stepping back in time and enjoying The Heart of England's very own take on Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.Enjoy freshly roasted chestnuts and the sounds of the Carollers as you prepare to enter the cobbled streets of Victorian England.Enjoy a sumptuous Three Course meal, before partying the night away with their DJ. They will entertain you until the early hours with a wide variety of music. The spectacular nightclub sound, laser and video show will rock you like no other! Prices for Tuesday to Thursday are just £29.95pp and for Friday & Saturday evenings throughout December £36.95pp and include an amazing themed room, arrival drink, sumptuous traditional three course meal, fun casino with prize for the best gambler, and a Disco until 1am.

 
For the more budget conscious amongst you, you might want to consider our sister service through Dazzling Table Displays. Christmas should be a magical time but if you get stuck with organising the office Christmas Party and decorations again, the spirit of Christmas can soon desert you! Dazzling Table Displays can work their magic on your behalf from as little as £99+vat for our Christmas Office Makeover & Party Pack. We can even cater an office party and organise a range of games and festive entertainment, designed to suit even the tiniest of budgets.


Normal service resumes at Cloud 9 next week so do join us for news on Fresh, the CIPR Northern Conference and lots of other exciting projects we are about to unveil.

Enjoy the week. Oh, and Merry Christmas!
