It could well be the maddest Christmas party we've heard of yet - the Albert Hall's Elf themed rave.

The giant house party features a festive screening of Will Ferrell's classic film with a 'rave along sing song' to the movie, plus a live band bashing out the Christmas hits, and seasonal beers and food to get your bells jingling.

There'll be a bunch of crazy elves causing mischief among the revellers, and the mind boggles what treats might be in store at the Glory Hole Grotto...

If that isn't mind boggling enough, there's even a spaghetti eating competition taking place on the main stage and money can't buy prizes are promised - and hopefully your bowl of pasta will be a bit more appetising than Buddy The Elf's concoction of spaghetti and syrup.

Fancy dress is most definitely encouraged!

The event will take over the Peter Street live venue on December 17, from 7pm, and tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday, November 18 from SeeTickets or the Albert Hall website.

Balcony tickets cost £12, and seats in the stalls on the ground floor of the venue are £15.
