PLUG INTO 2010 SALE!SALE!SALE! Over in the Neutral room it’s all the fun of the fair with the Saturday night party giant Shuffle. Resident house clowns LJ Freeman & Geoff Ticehurst will be dropping all of 2009’s best house tunes from vocal, through to electro, tech and minimal in a mammoth back to back DJ set all night long. As should be the case with any good party, it’s not just about the music though. There’s going to be an array of awesome entertainment to keep the party rocking from start to finish. Aerial Trapeze Ribbon Artists, Unicycle Jugglers, Sword Swallowers, Circus Acrobats, UV Ribbon Dancers, Face Painters, Magicians, Clowns and even a Hammer Bell game to test that strength. Let’s not forget the biggest moment of the whole year, the midnight countdown… and it’s certainly a moment to remember at Plug, with a crazy pyrotechnic show at midnight
for us all to see in the New Year with not just a bang but a flash, a bang and a big boom. The venue itself is going to be decked out like nothing you’ve seen before with full Circus décor turning the club into something very special, and the party even continues on the Outdoor Decked area where we’ll be providing all manner of hot delights - Hog Roast, Hot Shots, Roasted Chestnuts, BBQ, Marshmallows and Hot Mulled Wine keep you snug and warm while you rest yourselves in between the proper partying sessions on the dance floors. This is going to be a party to remember, and there really won’t be a better way to end your year than to party the night away at Plug this NYE. See you on the dance floor.

It’s that time again, the biggest party of the year is upon us and this one’s going to be a monster. Down at The Plug they have Sheffield’s biggest midweek event Jump Around going head to head to lock horns with the weekend beast known as Shuffle in a full on Circus themed party. Quite frankly this is going to end the year like nothing else…. Come dressed as your favourite Circus character, a Clown, the Ringmaster, a Circus Animal, anything you like… Free champagne for the best group outfits…. Roll Up, Roll Up!! In the Live room Big Top it’s the monstrous Jump Around with super resident main room hero Christopher Bibby dropping party bomb after party bomb. Joining him will be Master of the ceremonies and Hallam FM superstar Ollie Hayes! Jump Around is arguably the best club night in the UK.
