The Midwinter Masquerade is an experiential tasting menu, a guided interactive dining event, and an immersive theatre experience all wrapped into one — and taking place in what looks like a gin palace in an abandoned section of the London Underground.
The year is 1891, and the secretive Midwinter Society has invited you to their annual Christmastime feast in a hidden location within the London Underground. There, you’ll join a guided ritual through midwinter rites throughout the ages. From the Roman Saturnalia to the Pagan Yule and the Lord of Misrule, on through old conceptions of Saint Nicolas and the Dickensian world of A Christmas Carol, you’ll march through the rites that got ancient civilizations through the darkest times of the year and birthed the practices of our modern holidays. Along the way, you’ll eat, drink, dance, enjoy live music, purge the old year, and welcome in the new in this immersive dining experience all about renewal in the midst of winter.
