The Busan British Society (BBS) will hold its first-ever Annual Christmas Fundraiser and Networking event at the Gorilla Brewing Company at Gwangalli Beach on Saturday.
Guests will be treated to musical performances from the British Music School between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Participants can also enjoy specially brewed festive Gorilla beer, homemade mulled wine, British mince pies and a chance to network with new friends from the U.K. and Korea.
BBS organizers will also hold a charity raffle offering prizes and help raise money for a local charity.
British Ambassador to Korea Charles Hay will attend the event, as will many other honored guests.
The BBS is a nonprofit organization that aims to represent the interests of the U.K. expat community in and around Busan, promote U.K. culture in Korea and support and develop relations between the U.K. and Korea.
The group works closely with local businesses and partners to create networking opportunities within the community, support local and overseas charities and promote educational opportunities both domestic and international.
