South Yorkshire folk getting into the Christmas spirit
13th May 2015
It might only be May but more than 1,000 people have already booked on to Magna's Christmas parties.
The Eat Bump Groove party nights, which run over eight nights in December, are popular as works' Christmas outings, with about 55,000 people attending over the last ten years. -We might have only just had Easter, but people in South Yorkshire obviously like to plan ahead. said Lisa Woolhouse, of Magna. -We get a lot of businesses coming to the Eat Bump Groove events as their works' Christmas night out year after year. And it is proving more and more popular as word gets out about what a unique night out it is. As well as food, drink and a disco, party-goers can play casino games and ride on dodgems. The Eat, Bump and Groove party nights will run on 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th December.Tickets are £64.95 per person all-inclusive for all nights, except 17th and 20th December, when they are £54.95. Magna, which is housed in the former Templeborough steel works near junction 34 of the M1, can also host private Christmas parties, and has venue space that can be hired to cater for between 5 and 5,000 people. The steelworks were built during World War One and shut in 1993. They remained derelict until being transformed into Magna in 2001. As well as being a corporate venue, Magna is also an award-winning visitor attraction with more than 100 hands-on exhibits which explore the four elements of air, water, earth and fire, and it hosts regular school trips.
