⭐️Are you feeling festive yet? We’ve got a gorgeous Christmassy comp for you to get you in the mood:

⭐️We’ve teamed up with the lovely people @sofarbrighton to offer one lucky person the chance to win a ticket and drinks bundle for two to one of their Christmas shows.

⭐️Known for turning cool everyday places into intimate music venues, every @sofarsounds gig is different but always offers the chance to discover new music in a brilliantly immersive setting.

⭐️We took the footage here at last week’s show at the glorious @brightontoymuseum, which featured three mesmerising acts: @amypalmermusic, @danhoddmusic and @llsn____ - truly one to remember.

⭐️Got a gig buddy you’d like to take with you to one of their next shows? Tag them in the comments and head over to the website to enter (link in bio)!

✨Happy weekend!

✨It’s starting to feel a wee bit Christmassy around these parts with @brilliantbrighton’s festive afternoon on Saturday, festive menu launches, and the first of the Xmas markets (@leweschristmasmarket and @thebarnlittlelondon this weekend) a little further afield.

✨But there’s more to this weekend than Christmas: You’ll find our weekend guide in all its sparkling glory (with lots of non-festive fun too) over on the site.

🎄It may only be November, but we’re coming over all festive here at BOTI towers, so we’ve teamed up with the delightful @bengcschristmastrees and the marvellous @mamascocktailbar to bring you the perfect Christmas combo: Christmas trees and cocktails. 🍸

🎄If you’re one of the lucky winners, you’ll get to pick your tree size (up to 6ft) and choose from classic or mulled margs (fyi: the mulled is very special).
