1970's theme night here we come. There's a disco fever going round and it's about to strike at Boogie Nights.

Guests arriving at the 70's theme night will be welcomed during pre dinner drinks by 'Seventies Groovettes' handing out flyers for Boogie Nights; The 70's disco club where guests will be invited to dine later that evening. Seventies disco hits are playing as background music through the sound system as guests arrive.

As your guests enter Boogie Nights the club (your dining area), 1970's theming will adorn the room with the centrepiece being the stage set where Jensen D Groover will welcome everyone as they enter the room.

Between dinner courses the fun continues as guests can take part in the Seventies Pop Trivia Quiz and the John Travolta dance competition. Once the music kicks in guests will be 'Stayin Alive' as they 'Get down and Boogie' as disco fever hits town!!

1) Peanut Brittle
2) Peanut Upside-Down Pie
3) Peanuts ala Peanuts
4) Peanutloaf

Go ahead...check the records... :-)
