CHRISTMAS AT THE DUKE
We like to look at December as a full-month celebration. So round up the gang, get you sparkle suit on, and tap dance your way down to you fave local neighbourhood pub.
We've got a cracking line up, expect DJs every Friday, live music every Sunday, the Dukes of Duke, a Social Groove Party, Duke Drag Bingo and, of course, our Christmas Market.
Late-night dancing, and a good dose of Festive cheer. If you’re booking the big work do, a dinner with the fam, or just fancy a mulled wine and a mingle, check out what we've got going on below, get yourself booked in or email dining@thedukewanstead.com or call us on 📞 020 8989 0014
Plenty of reasons to make the Duke your festive local. And because it's never too early for a little Christmas cheer, the mulled wine is already flowing. Just putting that out there...
Take a peek at the full line-up below, pick your favourites and get the dates in your diary.
