The Volley + Athletic Brewing Xmas Do

If you’re the kind of person who spends the final week of December eschewing all the Christmas TV specials in favour of non-stop football, this is the Christmas party for you. Opened this past summer, craft beer-focused Old Street sports bar The Volley is celebrating its first festive period this winter by throwing a free-entry footie-themed festive shindig in collaboration with Athletic Brewing. There’ll be all sorts of entertainment on offer, including a world-class raffle with prizes from Jameson, eco-friendly sportswear brand Sokito and footie-themed fashion brand Soccer Supermarket, foodie specials from resident kitchen Baggio Deli and even a Q&A with Arsenal invincible Ray Parlour (the Romford Pelé), plus DJs spinning tunes, goodie bags to take home and a chance to book a meet-and-greet with the Gunners legend.
