Frequently Asked Questions

What does a New Year's Eve dinner and dancing event in London typically include?

Most dinner and dancing events combine a set multi-course meal — usually two to five courses — with live entertainment and a dancefloor that opens after dinner. Depending on the event, you might get a live band, a DJ, cabaret performances, or a mix of all three. Many packages also include a welcome drink or champagne on arrival, and some offer optional upgrades to bottomless drinks. 

Do New Year's Eve dinner and dancing events in London have a dress code?

Most do, and it's usually on the smarter end of the spectrum. Themed events - such as 1920s Gatsby nights, masquerade balls or era-inspired dinner dances— often specify black tie or cocktail attire, and some provide props like masks on arrival.

How far in advance should I book a New Year's Eve dinner and dancing event in London?

As early as possible — ideally by October or November at the latest. Dinner and dancing events have fixed table capacities, which means they fill up faster than larger standing events.
