On November 24^th Harbour & Jones Events kicked off the festive season with a Dickensian themed Christmas Extravaganza in the wonderful event spaces at St Paul’s Cathedral.  The Cathedral was filled with over 400 clients and friends to celebrate with fabulous food, cocktails and plenty of exciting activities.

On arrival guests were invited to take a tour of the Cathedral with dedicated tour guides, which included the opportunity to take photographs on the Cathedral Floor, an experience reserved only for those guests who attend evening events.

Following this, our guests made their way downstairs to the stunning Crypt area where a gin palace took centre stage serving traditional gin cocktails, surrounded by a stunning ice sculpture of St Paul’s Cathedral.  A fantastic selection of food stalls provided hand shucked oysters, British cheeses and carved beef.  The ‘create your own Plum Pudding stall’ was a hub of activity as guests ensured they were ready for Christmas with personalised Plum Pudding mixes.

Moving into the Wren Suite party goers could participate in our famous omelette challenge, enjoy the dress up photo booth or visit our honey making demonstration in the Beehive and take home a pot of our delicious Harbour & Jones honey.

To round off the entertainment, students from RADA provided exclusive cabaret performances in the Restaurant at St Paul’s throughout the night accompanied by a molecular gastronomy take on an amuse bouche to add a modern twist to the event.

For a flavour of the evening, why not view our video from the event.

The feedback we have had from our guests  has been wonderful:

“What a fabulous evening last night!  The Crypt dressed as never before, great things to eat and drink as you went round, and a marvellous atmosphere.  Hugely well done. Thank you!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening and was impressed by all that I saw and tasted, the RADA short show and much more.  It was a pleasure to be among such knowledgeable, helpful, well-mannered and polite people. I look forward to tasting my Christmas pudding on the 25^th.”

“It was a lovely evening. I think you would be hard pressed to find another venue as fantastic. H&J have done it again! “

“Thank you for a brilliant evening. Especially loved the photo booth.  Attention to detail was spectacular.”
