About Winter Wonderland - Christmas 2008
Exclusive parties are available at this venue.The beautifully historic In and Out (Royal Naval & Military Club) is the ideal setting to recreate an enchanting Winter Wonderland. As guests arrive at the exclusive site in St James Square they will feel immediately welcomed from the cold December air as they enter the stone paved entrance hall with a blazing fireplace. A professional pianist plays background music as guests enjoy glass of bubbly! As dinner is called guests are invited into the striking clear-roofed marquee transformed into an exquisite wonderland. With shades of blue, and white twinkling lights along the frame, it will feel like you are dining under a glittering night sky. The contemporary design is an amazing contrast to the original building bringing diversity to your Christmas party and is a setting that has an appeal for everyone's taste. The unusual layout of this remarkable venue allows space for comfortable, relaxed chat after dinner as well as housing a full nightclub disco and DJ to make this party one to remember!
