***TownsWeb Archiving's Christmas Party was held at the historic Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire.***

Friday the 13th might have a reputation for misfortune, but for us at TownsWeb Archiving, it was all about festive fun!

Here’s how we celebrated last Friday, and kicked off the Christmas 2024 season in style.

We began the festivities with a couple of holiday-themed quizzes, testing our knowledge on Christmas and seasonal trivia.

Joshua triumphed in the first quiz, while Lara claimed victory in the second, with both winners receiving a large box of chocolates as their prize

***The blindfolded team 'mini-Christmas tree building' challenge was a true test of creativity and collaboration!***

![Mini-Christmas tree build challenge - judging](https://2351684.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2351684/hubfs/2-Dec-16-2024-12-54-57-7153-PM.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=2-Dec-16-2024-12-54-57-7153-PM.jpg)

***Times up, and the mini-trees are over to the judges, Paul S. and Casper. But there can only be one winner...***

After the quizzes, we played a game where teams of two were paired up—one member was blindfolded, and the other had to give verbal instructions. The challenge? To build and decorate a mini Christmas tree in just a few minutes! Once time was up, our judges, Paul S. and Casper, assessed the creations and crowned the winning team; Sam and Paul M!

All that was left to do at the office was kick off Secret Santa, with Paul S. distributing the gifts to be opened one by one:

In the evening, we headed to Wicksteed Park, just a short distance from our Head Office in Kettering, Northamptonshire. There, we enjoyed a festive 3-course Christmas meal and danced the night away to the tunes of a live band and DJ.

It’s fair to say it was a thoroughly enjoyable day for everyone at TownsWeb, filled with laughter, celebration, and plenty of holiday cheer!
