As you mingle at the entrance to Christmas Party World 2024, anticipation reaches new heights… the big night is finally here! The cold winter’s night is left behind as you step into the warmth and are hit by the instant wave of glamorous energy. You make your way towards the Broadway ticket office and further in towards the bright lights of NEW YORK, NEW YORK…

The New York skyline and Empire State Building towers overhead amongst a sparkling sea of dazzling mirror balls as beams of light that dance around the room. The bustling bars exude class and energy, drawing you in to absorb the electric atmosphere. You recognise upbeat party tunes mixed with the funky beats of well-known classics as carefree conversation flows round the venue.

As you begin to explore – sampling canapés and collecting friends and colleagues along the way – the tempo of the evening momentarily changes pace as impromptu bursts of entertainment light up the podiums and the night starts to show its real character!

The Manhattan bars serve a wide assortment of drinks from chilled beers to crisp gin and tonics, while professional cocktail staff design iconic cocktails – Manhattan and New York sours are the toast of the evening as you relax and soak up the spirited ambience of a Christmas party New York style! As you take your seats for a superb three course feast, the stage bursts into life as you are treated to an evening of exhilarating entertainment! World-class aerial entertainers and professional dance troops turn up the tempo.

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 – 4 indoor fairground rides (including dodgems, waltzer and twist rides) whirl into action, while elsewhere in the venue the fun casino opens its tables, fairground stalls come to life, the professional photographer captures groups of friends 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!
