South Wales Group, Christmas Social 2023
This year's Christmas Social will be held on Saturday 9th December 2023 at Mercure Hotel, Chartist Tower, Newport.
Arrival Christmas cocktail and three course festive lunch served in the hotel restaurant on the third floor.
The hotel is giving us a discounted rate of £32.50 per person (normally £37.50 per person).
Meet for pre-dinner drinks from midday (the bar is next to the restaurant and will be open earlier). Individual complementary cocktails served as individuals arrive and can be enjoyed on the bar's terrace (third floor). Lunch at 1 pm (one pm). Please note the bar is cashless and card-only.
We are asked to vacate the restaurant at 5 pm, as there is another private event booked in the restaurant. The hotel, however, will set up a pop-up bar in the Events Lounge on the second floor to use from 5 pm.
