What is a Christmas theme?
Christmas is the biggest night of the year for many teams. Festive acts make it feel like an occasion: LED and gold nutcrackers at the door, festive living statues, champagne walkers and stilt walkers.
Combine Christmas with another theme (Christmas in Paris, a Gatsby Christmas or a Winter Wonderland) for something different from last year.

Do venues around Chelmsford have sound limits for dhol or music?
Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.
