Ladies and Gentlemen, we invite you to a Christmas party like no other - a Christmas party
exclusively for your enjoyment and pleasure.
Roll up, Roll up, the Circus is in town!
It’s the night of all nights, the night that marks the end of a year’s hard work, the night to finally let your hair down… your Christmas party night!. Forget your troubles, leave your worries behind and step right into the ultimate party experience…
As a thousand tiny twinkling lights illuminate the grand, imposing entrance of Athena, the stunning venue draws you ever closer as you make your way through the newly refurbished cultural quarter of the City. As you cross the threshold and enter the alluring atrium, prepare to join an extraordinary world of fantasy and flight that celebrates the uplifting spirit of ‘The Circus’. Leaving the cold winter evening behind you, you shed your hats and coats at the door and revel in the warm electrifying atmosphere that awaits you.
Our devilish Ringmaster anticipates your arrival and waits ready to welcome you into the
world of The Circus, leading you further into the realm of impossibility. As you sample a
warm welcome drink, you head upstairs to the main bar to join friends and colleagues
already enjoying the nights offerings . As the energising atmosphere surrounds you, you
begin to feel the buzz of excitement in the room as exotic and timeless characters of the
circus mingle with your fellow party goers serving delectable and delicious canapés to one
and all.
Choose from four well stocked bars with a carefully selected range of ice cold beers, fine wines and crisp spirits, or make your way to our exclusive cocktail bar where talented mixologists wait to tempt you with colourful cocktails created to order with you in mind.
As the music levels rise, so do the exotic circus characters as they use their bodies to push
the boundaries of possibility in mind blowing spectacles of skill, distortion and contortion.
Up on the balcony bar guests enjoy views over the main restaurant area where you will
shortly enjoy a hearty four‐course feast as the main evenings entertainment fills the
towering stage.
Suddenly the moment explodes into a kaleidoscope of colour and vibrancy as you are
beckoned to continue your journey into the main Arena. As you take your seats, the lights
dim and the ultimate circus experience begins. Performers fly, spin and twist as you enjoy a
succulent four course dinner, fine wine and good company. The shows leave you with a
thrill‐filled jaw dropping experience that renders you speechless and instills that magic of The Circus that lives on forever.
As the last spoonful of dessert is devoured, the lights cut to an explosion of anticipation that
marks the beginning of our dazzling finale. As the Circus group closes their epic show, the
power passes to the DJ and the dance floor passes to you!... An uplifting blend of classic
party tunes and modern day hits instantly lures you onto the floor to begin dancing the night
away.
Elsewhere in the building a host of exhilarating entertainment has magically appeared to
continue your party experience into the early hours. Flash your cash on our fun casinos
whilst sipping on a sumptuous cocktail, test your skills against your friends and colleagues on
our new fairground stalls, get a glimpse into the year ahead by visiting a fortune teller or
relax and enjoy a freshly ground coffee in a quieter area.
As the evening draws to an unwelcome end your heart is lifted as you reflect on the fun
filled night you and your party have enjoyed. You’ll always remember the party where you
left reality at the front door and joined The Circus when it came to town!
