Festivities are officially go, go go with The Old Crown beer garden taking on a seasonal magical ski lodge theme with pine trees, falling snow, ski racks, piste maps, fairy lights, lanterns and presumably enough mulled stuff to float a few elves on. Decked out with all the luxuries of a ski lodge, the heated marquee and fur-lined benches promises to offer the perfect escape from the cold. Street food traders will serve up an Alpine inspired menu and resort classics like fondue and raclette. There’ll also be DJs, live bands and even a vintage ski shop on site selling everything from salopettes to alpine jumpers. No slope skills required. Now booking.

Weekends, Fri 8 Dec & Sat Dec 9, Fri 15 Dec & Sat 16 Dec, Fri 22 Dec & Sat 23 Dec, The Old Crown, Birmingham B12 0LD. From £10 www.designmynight.com
