Dress Code
For this most extraordinary occasion, we ask you to dress up and dress the part to help us make this a night to remember. As inspiration:
For the Ladies: Your finest ‘Christmas Day’ dress, velvets, lace, sparkles, or perhaps a puff-sleeved shirt and long skirt. A lace collar, pearls or gloves are lovely Victorian touches.
For the Gentlemen: Start with your best suit and waistcoat. If you’re feeling particularly Victorian you might add a pocket watch, top hat or cravat.
No jeans or trainers please.
EIGHT SOLD-OUT YEARS AND COUNTING. DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE.
“A must-do each year. Just part of our Christmas routine now.”
