This incredible mansion with its enchanting garden is one of London’s most exclusive private entertainment venues. Situated in a secret location just 3 mins walk from a Zone 1 tube, many of our clients are repeat customers including many major pop and movie stars. 

Witness the country’s very best close-up magicians which blend together with Simon Drake’s unique, award winning style of original illusions. The entire evening is set in a fantasy world of mystery and intrigue created by Simon who innovated a whole new approach to magic in his two series for Channel 4, The Secret Cabaret.

6.30pm Gates open  
Guests enter through The Enchanted Garden, an ancient woodland glade dominated by a haunted castle ruin. The eerie echo of chirping crickets & howling wolves wafts gently in the breeze… 

Guests emerge from the cold winter night into the splendour of The Red Room, where our fully stocked bar is located and warm themselves by a real log fire.

Fifteen minute tours of the hysterically funny Spooky Cellar commence in small groups, hosted by our eccentric butler and enticing vampire.

Meanwhile, in The Auditorium over by our stunning Christmas Tree, guests are individually invited to sit on The Whispering Chair and allow the invisible soothsayer to predict their fortune.
