Norwich Christmas party for key workers at The Mercure Hotel

The Office Christmas Party will be held at The Mercure Hotel in Boundary Road, starting from 7pm on Friday, December 1 and finishing at 1am.

There will be a buffet, live bands and DJs, festive games and a photo booth on the night for people to enjoy.

The party is being set up by Norwich charity Future Projects, which recognised the difficulties frontline key workers have to organise Christmas get-togethers – at a time when they are under most pressure.

Chief executive officer of Future Projects, Daniel Childerhouse, said: "Charity workers and their colleagues in health and public services work longer and harder over Christmas as they support our most vulnerable communities.

"They often don’t get a break and can’t take part in festivities due to their work.

"So we wanted to thank them for that and to take the stress out of organising the office Christmas party."

Tickets start at £25, with discounts for frontline workers. All proceeds from the night will go towards Future Projects' community services and support.
