It’s Christmas… but something’s a bit different. Something’s a bit off. Like snapshots from a strange dream, Ouse’s seasonal snowy celebration offers a slightly warped, slightly distorted take on the festive season, with projection-mapped visuals, inflatables and Christmas goodies. Take a stroll onto Floodgate Street and fall down the rabbit hole into Santa’s wonky workshop, the mechanical sounds of house and techno creaking and whirring around you, before venturing out into the industrial rattle and clatter of drum and bass in the elves’ factory. This Friday, climb through the looking glass into a world straight out of the mind of Lewis Carroll and journey on through a twisted technicolour maze of phantasmagoria at the final Ouse event of the year.
Fri 9 Dec, Boxxed, 104-105 Floodgate Street, B5 5SR, 10pm-6am, £10, www.skiddle.com
