The Christmas lunch will then be followed by an after-party at the Ivy’s famous “Pool Bar”, with attendees expected to KarryOn celebrating well into the evening.
“We are delighted to have the support of KarryOn as our media partner. Their tireless approach in supporting our sector through COVID is to be applauded, with the “together in travel” tagline becoming one of the most recognisable over the last couple of years,” said CATO Managing Director Brett Jardine.
