IT’S the weekend before Christmas so it’s fairly bedlam around town.
The fashion boutiques have been near-emptied and beauticians are booming as literally thousands of people are enjoy party-time between this weekend and Christmas Eve in the many hotels, restaurants and pubs around town and beyond.
We gave a spin around to some of the venues to sample the atmosphere on Friday night.
Scroll down for photos (tomorrow we’ll have many more party pictures)…
