Quizzes, surprises and an after show of Aussie anthems will make for the ultimate home-away-from-home experience, where no one will feel alone.
And with no Christmas party complete without the finest festive foods, who other than Queen’s Park favourite Milk Beach Restaurant & Bar to create a high-quality modern Australian menu including Seafood Linguine, Roast Romanesque and Aussie BBQ Chicken.
Taking care of drinks, the guys from Yarra Valley based distillery Four Pillars, will be bringing two signature cocktails – the Tom Collins and Bloody Spritz – as well as their award-winning G&Ts to the party, whilst Australia’s craft beer pioneer Little Creatures Brewing will be pouring its vibrant hoppy Pale Ale.
Tickets cost just £30 and include Christmas dinner buffet, 2 x drinks, and an evening of laughs, silliness, and memories that will last long into 2022.
Throughout December, Little Creatures Brewing will also be extending the celebrations by offering a free pint to London’s antipodean community.
