As guests arrive, a dreadful discovery is made - the world-famous consulting detective Sherwood Flats is missing in action! Is he embroiled in a case, or is there foul play afoot?

We think the Nottingham Christmas Ceilidh Night on Saturday 9th December is the perfect Christmas Party for those looking for something a little different.

People come dressed in jeans, full highland dress – and everything in between.
