A Basildon TV star and a DJ are set to host an "extravagant" clubbing experience at an Essex restaurant - and the event is nearly sold out.

Discoliscious is a brunch and clubbing experience created by household name Denise Van Outen and presenter and DJ Jemma Bolt to create an exciting party experience in a safe space.

The event, coming to Zinnia in Chelmsford on Saturday, September 23, runs from 1pm until 6pm and is almost sold out with just 30 tickets left. 

Van Outen said: "I feel like I spent most of my youth throwing shapes on the dance floors of Essex. The very first club I went to was Pizazz in Grays, I loved it!

"After my first clubbing experience I became a regular in many an Essex nightclub. Hollywoods in Romford, Dukes Chelmsford, Tots Southend, were all great fun...back in the day.

"This is why I feel it’s time for Discoliscious. Essex needs an injection of fun. A reason to get dressed up and dance your socks off to brilliant music in the best company.”

The full line-up for the party experience also includes Lady J, Sister Sax and Missy Fatale.

Jemma added: "We wanted to create a safe and inclusive party experience that’s accessible to everyone. Our events are beautifully extravagant, with the best music selectors, specially choreographed burlesque and disco dancers and the most fabulous drag acts!

"Discoliscious is a chance to glam up, eat some amazing food in a beautiful venue - without having to travel into London for the privilege.

"And if parents need to get back for babysitters, our brunches finish by 8pm so you can still get that all important sleep for when the little ones are up the following morning!"
