Creative Christmas Showstopper at Chamber East

December 19, 2012 at 7pm to December 20, 2012 at 1am
Just a few days left to book your ticket for the Creative Christmas Showstopper Party for creatives of all kinds in Dundee and Tayside. It's a great chance for those who work on their own, or move from one workplace to another, to enjoy a fab festive knees-up with kindred spirits. There's live music, mulled wine (bar), food and other entertainment all for just £8. It takes place at Chamber East in the heart of Dundee on 19 December. Don't forget your Santa hat.See More
