About our London Christmas Party

This party was friendly, informal & fun. A chance to enjoy canapés, Prosecco.DOC, Lucky Saint alcohol free lager, Le Moderato, French alcohol-free wine, catch up with others in the industry, and make new connections. Freelancers could treat this as their own Christmas party before the mad festive rush starts.

Our guests enjoyed  many glasses of Prosecco.DOC. This popular Italian sparkling white wine is known for its fresh, light, and fruity profile. The “DOC” stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata (“Designation of Controlled Origin”), a protected status that guarantees the wine’s origin

We had a great selection of female food & drink suppliers offering tastings of their products plus the opportunity to buy some creative Christmas gifts.

There was the opportunity to sample & buy from our Mini Food Fair : Sample delicious food & drink from female founded and co-founded businesses and get some creative Christmas shopping in.
