Christmas Party : Battersea Park Christmas Party 2020 – LON273
Themed Christmas Party at Battersea Park 2020
Christmas Carnivale
A riotous celebration of Mardi Gras, Calypso and Samba throughout: from the drummers welcoming guests at the door to the exhilarating entertainment inside. Exotic food, delicious cocktails, stunning costumes and spectacular performances all summon up the unique spirit of Latin America, bringing Havana and Rio right to your doorstep.
From Samba dancers to extraordinarily talented capoeira artists performing during the night, these industry-leading performers will leave you spellbound.
As Dinner is called, giant skeletons lure you into the ballroom to dine under a canopy of stars. A glittery carnival mask catches your eye, surprise gifts adorn the tables, wine is poured and then a luxurious three-course feast is served.
To finish off your night in style we have the most talented DJs playing a mix of hits guaranteed to delight the crowd. Those that aren’t partying on the dance floor can play at the casino tables or on the dodgems. There’s more than enough to ensure your group continues to have a fabulous night long after dinner has finished!
