Christmas Drinks: A Festive Night Out in Thetford

On Saturday 14th December, our team swapped the workbench for Wetherspoons as we gathered in Thetford to kick off the festive season with a few Christmas drinks. It was our annual Social Saturday night out, and a last-minute venue change from Norwich to Thetford meant more of us could join the celebrations.

We started the night at The Red Lion (Wetherspoons), where the festive cheer was already in full swing. By the time Estee arrived at 7 pm, the party spirit had well and truly taken hold—let’s just say a few people were feeling merry already!

From there, we made our way to the Green Dragon, on the hunt for some live music. We were in luck, as a singer was performing, and we didn’t hesitate to join in, belting out a few classic tunes. The Green Dragon’s cosy size led to a bit of a divide in the group, though, as not all of us could get in.

After the Green Dragon called last orders at 11 pm, we carried on at The Albion, ensuring the festive fun didn’t end too soon. Unfortunately, this time Estee didn’t make it to the legendary ICE nightclub, but that’s all the more reason to plan another Thetford outing in the future!

Thank you to everyone who came along – it was great to catch up and socialise outside the workplace. Nights like these remind us how important it is to celebrate our hard work and enjoy some well-earned downtime together. Cheers to that! 🎄🍻
