“As you mingle at the entrance to Christmas Party World 2024, a warm inviting glow seeps out of the party venue… offering a teasing glimpse as to what lies within! Once inside, the vista is mind-blowing. Sparkling golds and dancing beams of light whirl overhead, highlighting the party scene in full flow. The venue exudes class and elegance together with a high-spirited, vivacious atmosphere.

As you begin to make your way through to the main bar area where friends and family wait, the tempo of the evening begins to change pace as the night starts to show its real character. The bars exude endless, fast-moving energy which adds to the electric atmosphere. You recognise upbeat tunes of well-known classics and funky beats of modern party tunes as carefree conversation buzzes around.

The cocktail bar is as busy as ever as professional mixologists mix and mingle iconic drinks, while the main bars offer traditional beers, spirits, crisp wines and delicious canapés are offered around the room for you to sample. 

As you take your seats for dinner, the focus moves to the main stage as the evening’s entertainment gathers pace again. Hand-picked world-class circus entertainers perform the impossible with daring poise and grace to a backdrop of fire flames and mesmerising lighting.

As you enjoy a tasty festive dinner and relax amongst friends and colleagues, conversation is plentiful and fine wines flow. As the last spoonful of dessert is devoured, the lights cut to an explosion of light and sound on the main stage that marks the beginning of a dazzling finale.

After-dinner entertainment is plentiful – the fun casino opens its tables, fairground stalls come to life, while the 360 camera spins to life! While some take coffee and chocolates in a quieter area, the dance floor beckons for those disco bunnies with boundless energy and whose night is still young! And don’t forget to sample a midnight breakfast roll!

As the evening draws to an unwelcome end, memories of a fun filled night are etched, as you reflect on a truly spectacular party!”
