Deck the Halls & Drop the Cheese! – DJ Christmas Party Night
This one is pure, unapologetic, hands-in-the-air Christmas fun.
Two DJs. One dancefloor. A full-on DJ battle packed with the cheesiest party anthems from across the decades — and yes… it’s a fancy dress night, with prizes for the best dressed.
If your idea of a great night includes shouting “I said hey… what’s going on?”, forming an accidental conga line to Saturday Night and throwing your arms out for YMCA without a second thought — this is absolutely your night.
This is the night where you stop pretending you don’t love the songs… and fully commit. Our DJs go head-to-head all night long, battling it out with pure cheese — from throwback party classics to guilty pleasures you know every single word to.
One minute you’re singing
“I would walk five hundred miles…”
the next you’re shouting
“You are… my fire…”
before someone drops
“Sweet Caroline… good times never seemed so good”
and the whole room joins in whether they planned to or not.
You’ll hear “I’m blue da ba dee da ba di”, “Oops… I did it again”, “Reach for the stars”, “Cotton Eye Joe”, “Cha Cha Slide”, “I want it that way”, “Believe” and about twenty moments where you turn to your friends and say…
“I can’t believe they’ve played this.”
And because this is a DJ battle, the crowd decides the energy. Bigger reactions. Bigger singalongs. Bigger hands-in-the-air chaos.
No judgement.
No irony.
Just brilliant, ridiculous, joyful Christmas party energy.
Fancy Dress & Prizes
Yes – this is a fancy dress night.
Go full festive. Go full retro. Go full pop star. Go completely rogue.
There will be prizes for the best dressed on the night, so this is your excuse to finally wear that outfit you bought and never had the confidence to use.
The cheesier, the better.
