We would require full payment for the minimum requirement. WHEN IS THE LATEST I CAN SEND MY MENU CHOICES OVER?

VIVID EXPERIENCE I can’t recommend the Vivid Experience Christmas parties at the NEC enough. Easy to book, easy to make menu choices, great food, great atmosphere, great entertainment. Already I’ve had people making me promise that we do it again - I think I might need more tables!” PENNY - JAGUAR LAND ROVER We attended the Manchester Central Christmas Party World event. The venue, atmosphere and entertainment was excellent and it proved great value for money. We will definitely be booking again.” KATE - TOWERGATE INSURANCE This was our third year at the venue and we all had a fabulous time.” JILL BRICE - NSPCC Loved the whole experience. What sets it apart is the pre-dinner treats - entertainment, varied choice of bars, good quality canapés. Also the midnight breakfast - more indulgence! Love the themes - creates the excitement and ambience.” PETERBROOK PRIMARY SCHOOL “
