Mixed Party Nights,
join the party

The easiest way to celebrate. Doors open at 6:30pm and you're welcomed into the glass Arboretum, dressed top to bottom in fairy lights, with a glass of fizz in hand. Pre-dinner drinks at the bar, a four course festive feast, then the lights dim and the disco takes over. Join other groups for one big, brilliant night out.
