As the year draws to a close, we at The Afterparty are reflecting on what an amazing end to 2024 it’s been. From unforgettable weddings in the heart of the Cotswolds to festive corporate parties and private Christmas celebrations, the months of October, November, and December were filled with high-energy performances and memorable moments. We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of so many special events, and we can’t wait to share some of the highlights with you!
In October, The Afterparty had the privilege of headlining a sold-out show at Dunkertons with a 350-capacity crowd—and what a night it was! The atmosphere was electric from start to finish, with an enthusiastic crowd dancing and singing along to every song. The venue’s laid-back yet vibrant setting provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night of live music. It was an incredible success, and we couldn’t have asked for a better audience to share the energy and excitement with. A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a massive night for us!
Performing in the Beautiful Cotswolds and Beyond
Throughout the autumn and winter months, The Afterparty had the pleasure of playing at a range of stunning venues across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, providing the perfect soundtrack to weddings, parties, and festive gatherings. Whether it was a rustic barn nestled in the rolling hills of the countryside or an elegant town hall in the heart of Cheltenham, we were able to bring our signature sound to a variety of incredible settings.
We had the honor of performing at some of the most picturesque and unique venues in the region, including Deer Park Country House, Over Barn, Barn at Berkeley, Barn at Upcote, Hyde House — all iconic Cotswold wedding venues. These venues, with their stunning rustic aesthetics and intimate atmosphere, made for the perfect backdrop to our wedding performances. From heartfelt first dances to full-on dance floor celebrations, the energy and joy were palpable at every event.
Cheltenham Town Hall and Bristol City Hall, both unforgettable venues to play. They were the setting for two of our most memorable performances during the festive season. With their grandeur and elegant surroundings, they were the ideal venue for large-scale corporate Christmas parties and seasonal events. Performing in such a historic and beautiful settings truly elevated the holiday spirit and made for some fantastic memories whilst we helped Moog and AM Digital celebrate Christmas.
We also had the pleasure of playing at stunning locations like Dunkertons (again!) and Brinsop Court,. Whether it was an intimate wedding or a grand celebration, these venues are always great fun to play at.
Celebrating Love and Festive Cheer
As always, weddings were a major highlight this season. The months of October and November were packed with beautiful couples tying the knot and celebrating their love with their nearest and dearest. We were honored to be part of so many magical days, bringing our energy and passion to every performance. There's something truly special about playing at weddings — the joy, the emotion, and the celebrations all come together in a way that makes every performance feel like a personal celebration.
When December rolled in, it was all about the festive fun! We had the privilege of performing at several corporate Christmas parties, some Christmas weddings, and festive get-togethers, each one filled with excitement, laughter, and plenty of dancing. From classic Christmas songs to contemporary hits, our setlist brought the holiday spirit to life, and we loved watching guests let loose on the dance floor, celebrating the season with joy and laughter.
A Year-End Full of Unforgettable Moments
Looking back on the last three months, it’s clear that The Afterparty ended 2024 on a high note. We performed at some truly stunning venues, celebrated love in the heart of the Cotswolds, and brought festive cheer to every event we played in December. Each performance was an opportunity to create unforgettable memories, and we’re so grateful to all of our couples, event organizers, and corporate clients for letting us be a part of their special occasions.
As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited for what the new year will bring. We’re ready for more weddings, more parties and more incredible performances. We can’t wait to see where our music will take us next!
Thank you again to everyone who made 2024 so special. We’re so thankful for the opportunity to make your events unforgettable. Here’s to more great music, more fantastic memories and another amazing year with The Afterparty!
