Dine & Dance or a themed event?

Choose whats best for you, dine & dance or add a theme

Our Dine & Dance package has all of the key elements you need for a successful event – great venue, fantastic food, beverage package and DJ. This is by far our most popular event.

To add something extra you can choose one of our great themes or we can work with you to create something completely different. A good themed event is the perfect ice breaker for your colleagues.
