The Posh Club (Christmas)
The Posh Club is a glamorous performance and social club for older people (60+) held regularly across London and the South East of England. Common Wealth worked with Duckie to bring the Posh Club to St Mellons, East Cardiff for a Christmas spectacular and its first-ever Welsh outing!
The three-and-a-half hour event is styled as a tongue-in-cheek ‘posh’ 1940’s afternoon tea with three live show business turns, waiters in black tie, vintage crockery and cabaret. A glamorous event for 150 participants, held in the heart of the community in an elegantly transformed St Mellons Hub Community Centre. The audience were invited to dress up, experience live performances, be together and indulge in a good dose of Christmas cheer.
