A Space in the City, Christmas Party!

End Of Year PARRRTTTAAYYY!!

The staff at A Space in the City had a very enjoyable End of Year do recently at The Marriott Hotel in Cardiff!

After all donning our glad rags and making ourselves look pretty, we all met at the Hotel for 7pm and enjoyed a complimentary glass of bucks fizz whilst waiting for our table.


Julie and Richard Godfrey with Swansea Portfolio manager Laura Dommet enjoying some champers!


We were then led into the function room and our table, which was decked out in full Christmas regalia and had several bottles of wine ready and waiting! Yipee!


The Space in the City Table

We then enjoyed a fabulous 4 course meal, consisting of Leek and Potato soup, mushroom tartlet, and turkey, beef or salmon for mains. We then finally scoffed our way through a trio of desserts. phew!

Reservations girls, Angharad Price and Stacey Laye enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!


There then followed more drinking, and lots of silly posing for photos....

Until we finally all gathered the courage to grace the dance floor with our Space in the City special moves. (Headed by Kath of course).



And then we REALLY started throwing some shapes.....



A wonderful time was had by all, many drinks drank, faces stuffed and dance moves danced. Only another year to wait until the next one!



HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ALL AT A SPACE IN THE CITY.

Whats on in Swansea in December?

Merry Christmas from all at A Space in the City! 

As A Space in the City is based in Cardiff AND Swansea,  you may have noticed we've been a bit naughty by neglecting our blogs about Wales's second biggest city. So we thought we'd devote some screen time to that sprawling city by the sea, and what it's getting up with it's fine self for Christmas.



Waterfront Winterland

The grounds of the National Waterfront Museum will be transformed once again into a children's paradise, with the return of Waterfront Winterland (open from 18th November to the 8th January).  The Miles Hire Giant Wheel is clearly the star of the show, but you can also enjoy the family funfair and taste delicious foods.
The Admiral Rink also returns along with the Rocky's Children's Rink.



Aladdin, The Pantomine!

Get ready to be transported to old Peking as this years pantomime spectacular is bigger and better than ever! Starring Jimmy Osmond, Kevin Johns and Zoe George. The cast will share the stage with a very special and unusual co-star as the Genie of the Lamp comes to life in amazing 3D! Wearing 3D glasses at certain points throughout the show the audience can rub the magic lamp as it appears in front of their noses, summon the magical Genie from his lamp and join Aladdin on a superb magic carpet ride!



 Christmas by Candlelight

Happening on the 21st December, and established as one of the highlights of the musical calendar; this is a firm family favourite. Enjoy a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie as an appetizer to a feast of seasonal favourites served up by Alwyn Humphreys with Ros Evans, the Chamber Orchestra of Wales Chorale and accompanying musicians. Tickets are always in great demand so book early to make sure that your Christmas festivities get off to a perfect start.


Swansea Christmas Market

The Christmas Market makes a welcome return to Oxford Street and Princess Way with a variety of trade and craft products on offer, including some wonderful Christmas themed German stalls.  This is a free event and runs from the 25th November to the 18th December.



Why not try a 2 night luxury break in this exciting city to enjoy its brilliant Christmas attractions? Take a wander around the Christmas market, enjoy the waterfront wonderland and top it all off with a visit to see Aladdin! We still have some luxury Serviced Apartments available in Swansea over the Christmas period, check out our website for more details.
