What to expect at the Christmas Masquerade Ball in Manchester
Kickstart your night of masked revelry with a VIP welcome from our costumed performers. There’s a sparkling glass of Prosecco ready for you.
All-inclusive beer, wine and soft drinks keep the atmosphere buzzing while you indulge in a delicious 3-course candlelit dinner.

The dress code
It’s all about the masks. Do wear one — half-faced, obviously, otherwise dinner may be an issue. Simple and elegant or intricate and elaborate. Choose whichever style you like.
As for the rest of your outfit… Well, we love it when our guests dress up, although if a full-on Venetian costume is not your thing, black tie and evening wear will do nicely.
"Thank you to Ryan and all at West End Events for a fabulous Christmas party. We really enjoyed it - everyone embraced the theme, the atmosphere was fantastic and we especially loved the band and brilliant dancers. Thank you"

The menu
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. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.

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, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. If there’s availability for extra guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
