As you approach the glistening iconic venue, a warm inviting glow offers a teasing glimpse of what lies within. The vista is mind-blowing – with the party scene nestled between shimmering mountains and snowy Christmas trees. Cosy log cabin bars serve traditional beers, spirits and crisp wines to guests indulging in the après ski scene…

Sparkling dancing beams of light whirl overhead, catching the party scene in full flow. Professional mixologists mix and mingle iconic drinks at the cocktail bar as delicious canapé are offered around the room.

As you take your seat for a tasty festive dinner, the focus moves to the main stage.  World-class Cirque entertainers perform the impossible with daring poise and grace to a backdrop of flames and mesmerising lighting. As the last spoonful of dessert is devoured, the lights cut to an explosion of light and sound as the entertainment gathers pace for a spectacular finale!

After dinner, fairground rides whirl into action, the fun casino opens its tables and fairground stalls come to life. The 360 camera spins into action capturing memories for groups of friends. Whilst some guests enjoy fresh coffee, chocolates and a midnight breakfast roll under the twinkling lights, the dancefloor beckons for those whose night is still young!

For 6 weeks toward the end of November and through December, the event space features a pre-installed specification of lighting, sound, staging, catering set-up and bars.
