The iron curtain has crumbled and fallen and the Eastern Bloc has gradually released many of its hottest and most closely guarded secrets to the Western world. This year at Battersea's unique Christmas Venue we invite you to discover, encounter and lose yourself in a cavalcade of unique Russian tastes and experiences, which for hundreds of years have been withheld so fervently from the West.
As you arrive at the venue through a heavy snow storm, you will be given a warm welcome by our Cossack guards who huddle around a red hot brazier singing Siberian folk songs and greeting you with good cheer. Enter the venue and find it transformed by a myriad of contradictory sights and sounds that work together in curious harmony.
A beautifully frosted Christmas tree soars through the blizzard to the heights of the atrium, laden with twinkling lights and shimmering crimson baubles; the pure and heavy snow laden atmosphere is permeated by the wild sounds of a raucous party seeping from the adjoining bar, drawing guests like a magnet to the most happening Christmas party in London; an irresistible blend of ice cool glamour and red hot groove. Dancers sway and grind in time with the beat, their lithe bodies covered in little more than oil and glitter, as blinding beams of light are emitted from the ice bar and glamorous aerial artists on bungee ropes serve cocktails to guests on the icicle laden mezzanine.
Traditional Cossack dancers share the stage with whip-cracking burlesque girls; whilst others hang decadently from the ceiling, scattering fairy dust and feeding treats to those that pass beneath. Every sense is seduced by an abundance of diversity: from divinely mixed cocktails and frothing champagnes for the nose, to spicy canapés and richly scented delicacies for the palate. This combined with the throb of funky music, sparkling lights and a vibrant atmosphere all conspire to create a spontaneous and explosive party atmosphere!
For those who seek a diversion from the visual spectacle, discreet areas are set aside where guests can sip iced vodkatinis and indulge in high stake games of roulette, blackjack and poker, test their strength on the striker or savour the sugary delights of the chocolate fountains.
As the evening accelerates at a pace and the music shows no sign of slowing down, dodgems whiz around while glitter cannons explode over the dance floor and a thousand balloons, streamers and confetti tumble over the excited party revellers.
Nostrovia! promises to enclose guests in a swathe of good will, good fortune, good feelings and good times; and to send them home with a wealth of good memories.
