KICK off the New Year in style and head to Bourbon Street, New Orleans for Hamptons' very own Mardi Gras party on Saturday, January 26.

Feast on a five course Cajun style dinner and enjoy an evening of superb hot jazz in the company of the Keith Little Band. This lively six piece band takes much of its inspiration from the music of Benny Goodman, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie amongst others.

They have played at jazz festivals around the world. The band’s wide ranging repertoire extends beyond traditional jazz with an exhilarating selection that is simply sheer enjoyment.

“A Night in New Orleans” is all about great music – it’s going to be loud and lively, delicious food created by Hamptons own chef and banishing the winter blues in style.

The Blue Pelican Café will be decorated in New Orleans style and of course staff will be handing out Mardi Gras beads. So dress up if the mood takes you and join in for what promises to be a superb evening.

Tickets are £34, which includes live entertainment and a five course dinner.

Ring 029 2070 5391 or call in at Hamptons, 10 Ludlow Lane, Penarth.
