Information
Step back in time to the romance of the Jazz Age at London’s award-winning 1920s-themed speakeasy party, with live jazz, cabaret and cocktails in a secret venue filled with candles, where everyone dresses the part.
Like a lot of folk in the 1920s, we're not about to let Prohibition spoil Christmas! So we'll be celebrating the season of goodwill by candlelight at a secret tinsel-toned party in a south London ballroom where the jingling of sleigh bells will mingle with the clinking of cocktail glasses, where for one night the cop and the gangster will lay down their Tommy guns and share a toast.
Live music will come from Benoit Viellefon and his band with hosting by Santa’s little helper, cabaret elf Champagne Charlie, burlesque from Jolie Papillon on Friday and Bonnie Fox on Saturday, plus vintage vinylism from DJs the Bee’s Knees.
In a side room our tarot reader Lucius will be on hand to glimpse into your future and Michelle Krausz will be offering sparkling delights at her pop-up vintage jewellery shop. A roaming photographer will be on hand to capture you in your 1920s finery.
There will also be a complimentary dance lesson from George of the Black Tie Ballroom Club. On Saturday it will be in the Balboa, and on Friday in 1920s foxtrot, assisted by Caitlin Heasman, a semi finalist in the international Latin dance championship this summer.
Looking for a Christmas office party theme? Why not bring your group along to the Friday night bash?
You can come just for drinks and dancing, but you can also reserve a table with Champagne, or book the three-course dinner. There’s also an inclusive-drinks option. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location (which is close to a tube station). So pull on your flapper dress and get ready to Charleston…
