It has been one of the hottest festive tickets in town in the past and Newcastle's famous Holly Ball is making its comeback for 2022, as As You Like It go all out to make kit a Boxing Day to remember.
Like many events in 2020, the Holly Ball fell victim to Covid, as the nation was plunged into a tier system which massively limited social contact and hospitality venues were prohibited from serving indoors again. And then, there was an end of an era as As You Like It had a name change to become Zarabanda Bing Bing, so there was no Holly Ball last year either.
However, after Geordie revellers delighted at As You Like It being restored to its original identity last month, the team at the venue on the outskirts of Jesmond, are bringing the Holly Ball back to round out the year in style and hopefully raise lots of money for the Sunshine Fund in the process.
