Merry Miami

Description

 

THE CONCEPT 

London in December is cold, wet and dark, no matter how much Christmas spirit you try to kindle. So the Art of Dining is inviting you to throw off your scarf and gloves, pack your bags with glad rags and join us for an incredible evening in Miami!

And the best bit is that you don’t even have to get on a plane because Miami is coming to you. We will be transforming Hackney’s Night Tales into a paradise inspired by Miami’s South Beach, complete with palm trees, day beds, cocktails and the brilliant colours of a South Florida sunset*. It’ll be the closest you can get to a glittering night out on Ocean Drive this side of the Atlantic, complete with Latin-inspired grooves, Cuban-inspired food and no Will Smith (unless you request it!).

On hand to make sure you have a night to remember will be our undercover team of sharply dressed detectives offering games, glitter and pastel-coloured glamour. They’re more ‘Miami Nice’ than ‘Miami Vice’ but if they find out anyone is committing the crime of not having a good time, they’ll be on the case. And Christmas devotees don’t need to worry: for all the sun, fun and sand, there will still be plenty of festive antics to be had.

So step out of the December drudgery and join us for an unforgettable evening of good times and beach vibes. We guarantee you’ll leave feeling like all your Christmases have come at once.

*We can’t guarantee actual sunshine, but we promise you’ll have brightest time you’ve had since last summer.

 

THE VENUE 

Based in the heart of East London, Night Tales is comprised of two railway arches and a 4,000 sq. foot garden based just across the road from Hackney central overground station. Night Tales Bohemia Place is a unique, characterful and vibrant venue that is perfect for a memorable Christmas event.

Outside are warm, comfortable daybeds and private booths for chilling out, eating in and chatting, whilst inside is a 350 capacity night club with a Function-One Sound System, which will keep your party in full swing all night! Plus the venue has two huge bars so the drinks flow freely and your night won’t be spent queuing.

The on-site management team is available for viewings and have all aspects of party planning covered, meaning you can relax and enjoy yourselves.

 

THE ENTERTAINMENT & DECOR

Step off a gloomy December street and follow us down into our vibrant Miami Beach club.
A perfect palette of pastel colours awaits you, with plenty of added glitter since it’s the season. The Art of Dining is well known for attention

to detail and theatrical flair, which will be on display in abundance at Merry Miami.

The heated terrace area will be filled with sparkling palm trees to relax under, striped deck chairs and beach umbrellas. Pose with the flamingoes and enjoy the beach vibes with both a chilled and a party side, depending on how you’re feeling.

The dance floor area will feature light up
beach balls and a wash of neon colours, so make sure you bring your shades. Guests will be encouraged to sit back and relax with a welcome cocktail before dancing the night away.

On top of amazing food, brilliant set design and entertaining activities, a fantastic soundtrack by a top class DJ will give the evening some suitably classic Christmas cheer without stray- ing too far into cheese (though we will respect all requests for Gloria Estefan and Ricky Martin ...livin’ the vida loca!).

 

THE FOOD & DRINK

 

Your party will be catered for by Moro-trained chef Ellen Parr, who has created a menu of bowl and finger food designed to give your taste buds a tour of the Cuban and Deep South-influenced flavours of Miami.

A cocktail (or bubbly) on arrival to get everyone in the mood. We recommend a Piña Colada but guests can choose whatever they fancy.

Unlimited drinks will be provided at various bars in the space with wines, beers and spirits flowing throughout the night to add a little extra festive cheer.
