Illuminate Christmas Party Dates

Our Illuminate Christmas Parties are extremely popular, selling out all five nights in 2024 before September. The popularity resulted in adding a fifth night and moving celebrations into our Summer Marquee to accommodate more guests and elevate everyone’s experience. In 2025, we’re pleased to announce five Christmas Party dates in The Summer Marquee, our premier marquee space. Arrival and drinks reception begins at 6.45 pm with carriages at midnight.

Tickets are £79 per person; book soon to avoid disappointment. Choose from the available dates below.
