Sponsored: Rogue Christmas parties, festive bingo and pub quizzes and bargain staycations from Dhs225…

Have you roamed the halls and lobby of Media One Hotel lately? The party palace has transformed into Santa’s grotto, only in this dimension, Santa’s gone rogue, and you’ll find him slumped in the corner having had too many Christmas puds and Baileys.

His elves, meanwhile are scattered about the lobby, passed out under sofas with nothing but their little green legs hanging out.

That’s just the way Media One does Christmas. If you’re feeling cheeky too, here’s what else you can get up to…

Festive bingo at Garden on 8

Every Tuesday night throughout December is festive bingo night at Garden on 8. Enjoy unlimited barbecue bites for two hours from 7pm for Dhs149.

Festive quiz at Garden on 8

Meanwhile, the weekly Wednesday quiz hosted by radio stars Jono & Rich takes a festive twist. The quiz starts at 7.30pm and entry is free. There’s happy hour until 8pm as well as bucket deals and food specials.
