Tinsel Time Tunnel - 80s vs 90s DJ Battle
This is the night you’ve been waiting for if your Christmas playlist is all about the hits that defined your teenage years. Two DJs, two decades, one dancefloor, and mountains of music, you decide who wins our first DJ battle of 2026. From the first beat of Don't You Want Me Baby to the instantly recognisable footsteps of Wannabe, the DJs battle off to keep the dancefloor alive, the nostalgia flowing, and the singalongs non-stop.
You’ll hear the songs you know word for word: 80s pop, 80s rock, 90s boy bands, and girl power classics. One minute you’re shouting “I wanna dance with somebody!”, the next you’re belting “Everybody!” with the same people who were grooving to Take On Me just five minutes before.
It’s loud. It’s fun. It’s lively. It’s a proper Christmas party with two DJs that know exactly how to keep the night alive till the early hours. Perfect for anyone who wants to dance, sing, and laugh without holding back.
Fancy Dress – 80s vs 90s Style Showdown
This is your chance to pick a side. Go full 80s with neon, leg warmers, leather jackets and pop-star attitude, or fly the flag for the 90s with double denim, bucket hats, crop tops, tracksuits and Britpop energy. Whether you’re channelling Madonna or the Spice Girls, Prince or Take That, this night is all about letting your decade do the talking on the dancefloor.
