The Christmas Company

Tonight you will embark on an exotic journey across the Seas of South East Asia to the streets of Bangkok to enjoy a heady mix of culture and excitement.

A slatted wooden bridge will lead you over a pond of floating lilies into the tranquil courtyard of an ancient Buddhist temple, where a giant smiling Buddha sits benig...nly surveying the scene. Here, two girls in exquisite costume will line your path with petals of fragrant orchids.

As you pass through the tranquil gardens, the atmosphere changes with the sounds, smells and sights of bustling Thai market-scene. Hawkers and traders call out their wares; bikes trill their bells, Tuk-Tuk's blast their horns and a cacophony of music blares from the stalls and bars.Read More

A thick evening mist rolls out of Red Square as the gates open and a twinkling canopy of stars is revealed in all its splendour. Flags, swags and pennants hang in celebration and the colourful onion-domed buildings of St. Basil's form a stunning backdrop to the magnificent dining hall.

Glitter cannons explode and guests... take their seats for a magnificent dinner. Throughout the evening jugglers and musicians entertain, whilst after dinner the atmosphere livens up when Cossack dancers, in spectacular costume, burst from St. Basil's and perform a breathtaking show of sword dancing - sparks fly, swords clash, feet stamp and then the finale - a thrilling display of the traditionally energetic and acrobatic Cossack dance.Read More

As guests arrive, they enter the vibrant, bustling atmosphere of a traditional Moroccan souk. Within the ancient walls guests encounter bustling themed bars, market stalls stand draped in a variety of wares from succulent fruits to stacks of golden pots, colourfully painted pottery and richly woven rugs and materials.

E...ntertainers start to gather in the sprawling square but keep an ear out for cries of “barek” to warn of incoming donkey deliveries. The sound of modern music from the busy bars is suddenly replaced by traditional music heralding a customary dance from the local street performers.

A colourful procession marks the opening of the old gates and as guests take their seats to feast on sumptuous food and wine, a troupe of exotic dancers beg to please their guests with feats of mysterious dance, belly dancing and fire eating. As the meal draws to a close, guests are invited to dance the night away beneath a starfilled Arabian sky.Read More

As guests first enter, the exciting sounds and smells of the exotic East assault their senses. The scents of smoking incense mingles with rich spices to transport them to a foreign land.

At the centre of the room a large partially veiled platform rises up to create a Harem. It's covered with a canopy of rich silken fabr...ic, which is tied back at the sides to reveal several oiled bodies lolling on large cushions in luxuriant decadence.

The inhabitants of the harem are dressed in heavy, opulent materials covered with glittering stones and jewels and as they recline in their luxurious surroundings, they smoke hookah pipes while lazily fanning themselves with giant palm leaves. From time to time, roving entertainers visit the Harem dwellers to amuse them with feats of acrobatics, belly dancing and fire eating.Read More

You have arrived at a small colonial outpost on the border of the secret Tree Kingdom, set deep in the heart of darkest Africa. Whilst enjoying a drink in the Colonial bar, guests will be astonished at the feats of balance and tricks being performed by the natives.

The giant gates that protect the kingdom from the moder...n world are forced open and through the swirling mist, the silhouette of the Tree Kingdom can be made out, lit by the glow of the moon hovering on the horizon of an African sky.

As Guests take their seats they are met with a cry from the Chief of the Tree Kingdom, and upon his command, natives erupt from their hidden dwellings and perform an ancient tribal ritual in honour of your arrival.Read More
