Welcome to the The Royal Nutcracker Banquet!

The Royal Nutcracker Banquet captures the joy of being a child at Christmas. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, opulence and fairytale enchantment.

You’ll enjoy live music and spectacular Nutcracker ballet performances, a sumptuous 3-course festive banquet, unlimited drinks, a live party band and sensational after-dinner entertainment.

Your night of festive fantasy takes place in central London amid the elegant surroundings of the Leonardo Royal St Paul’s. There are no problems getting there and back because transport links are excellent.

After a VIP welcome with Prosecco, you’ll feel like Clara entering the fairytale palace as you make your way into the ballroom. You’ll find sparkling decor and festive lights, Christmas trees and Nutcracker soldiers everywhere you look.

Then it’s time for a mouthwatering 3-course banquet, unlimited drinks and unforgettable entertainment — live Nutcracker ballet performances accompanied by top-class classical musicians.

While some Christmas parties fizzle out after dinner, ours are only just beginning. A live party band takes to the stage, and it’s your turn to dance as the music switches from Tchaikovsky to some of the hottest tunes on the planet.

If you can stop dancing, try your luck at the casino tables, or get your face bling on at the glitter bar.

One of our top Shared Christmas Parties in London.

FAQs

Is there a dress code?

There is no strict dress code for this party. Dress up or arrive comfy, it’s entirely up to you. We find a lot of guests find it a great excuse to dress up for a night.

Will the hotel cater for different dietary requirements?

Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so each person is catered for appropriately. The only exception to this is Kosher food. It can’t be prepared at the hotel and comes via a separate caterer, so it incurs an additional cost.

Can I add additional guests later?

We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes before 1st November and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we’ll add to your booking —although please bear in mind, we cannot guarantee this. If you want to add guests, please contact us. If there’s availability for extra guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
