Lights. Theatre. Magic.
Incredible entertainment, delicious food, immersive theming and an electric atmosphere. With different styles of party nights running throughout late-November and December, and ticket prices to suit different budgets, there’s something for everyone.
THE GREATEST CIRCUS – A MAGNIFICENT JOURNEY THROUGH THE NIGHT
Your spectacular night has arrived as you step towards the most extraordinary show on Earth. The magnificent venue glows against the winter sky, a beacon of light, music and anticipation. As the grand doors sweep open, you are welcomed into a world of wonder; ‘The Greatest Circus’ – where energy surges through the air and every moment promises amazement.
Leaving the chill of the evening behind, you glide through the venue, alive with colour, movement and celebration. The devilish Ringmaster heralds your arrival as you make your way further into the venue to meet friends and colleagues.
The buzz and excitement is overwhelming as exotic and timeless characters of ‘The Greatest Circus’ mingle with you and your fellow partygoers, serving delectable and delicious canapés to one and all.
Choose from four fully stocked bars pouring premium ice-cold beers, fine wines and crisp spirits, or make your way to our exclusive cocktail bar where expert mixologists wait to tempt you with colourful cocktails created to order.
As the music rises, so too does the drama. Gravity-defying aerialists soar overhead. Contortionists twist in astonishing displays of flexibility. Acrobats push the limits of human possibility in breathtaking performances that unfold before your eyes.
Beyond the main arena, even more excitement awaits. Try your luck at the fun casino tables or challenge your friends on our brand-new fairground stalls. Seek insight from a mysterious fortune teller, capture the moment on our selfie pod or retreat to a quieter corner to enjoy freshly ground coffee and indulgent chocolates.
