Dinner DancePlaces are also still available to join our evening dinner dance. Meeting in a function bar at 6.30 for 7pm, a two course buffet dinner is followed by a toast to Tristan islanders. During the evening there will be music for listening and dancing, including traditional Tristan tunes by our resident band and more upbeat music from our DJ Barry Carter. There is a refurbished lounge bar area where people can escape much of the sound of music if they prefer! The price of £28, including free parking for visitors is excellent value for a city centre Saturday night out with food and entertainment. So why not join us? |
