ONE of the most successful UK garage acts - Artful Dodger - is coming to Billericay in a "fizzing fusion of flavour and fun".

Entertainment company, Prosecco Parties, has brought the platinum-selling duo to Barleylands in a bid to invite garage, gin, cocktail and prosecco lovers to kick-start the festive season on Friday, November 23.

Alongside Artful Dodger will be a resident DJ and saxophonist to add "a styled rhythmic twist to the mix".

Also promised is state-of-the art lighting and sound, glitter cannons, a paparazzi selfie wall to capture the occasion and a ‘pimp your chips’ station, offering a variety of toppings to put all over your potato snacks for those mid-night cravings.

The hosts have also partnered up with Aperol.

Penny McGrigor, marketing director at Prosecco Parties says: “We’re really excited to be bringing our Prosecco Parties to Barleylands.

"Following years of event experience, this is set to be one of the greatest celebrations of prosecco, gin, cocktails and parties ever. "We wanted to bring something more than a regular drinks festival to our guests at Billericay and our parties offer something very special meeting the demand for great entertainment and a real experiential event!”

Prosecco Parties has ten free tickets up for grabs.

To be in with a chance of winning, entrants have to go to the Prosecco Parties Billericay Facebook Events page, 'like' and 'tag' five friends, quoting “I LOVE PROSECCO!”

The event will be run like a club in early evening, with doors opening at 7pm.

All drinks are to be bought through tokens on the night.
