Crack open the drinks! Revel in the repeal! It’s time to let your hair down and celebrate the end of Prohibition. Teetotallers are welcome.
The End of Prohibition Christmas Party is in central London and it brings you back to the glamorous, decadent world of the jazz age.
Expect flapper girls, feather boas, casino tables, Deco decor and the red-hot live rhythms of the speakeasy. Plus all-inclusive drinks, of course… Because they’re legal now.
Dressing up is not compulsory, but it’s definitely encouraged. Think Gatsby, shimmering dresses, jewelled headbands and feathers. Lots of feathers.
The End of Prohibition Christmas Party is at the 4-star Hilton Paddington, with excellent public transport links.
What to expect at the End of Prohibition London party
As you make an entrance on the VIP red carpet, our flapper girls greet you with a complimentary (and totally legit) glass of fizz.
The doors open and you’re back in the roaring 20s —golden decor, low lighting, twinkling chandeliers and luxurious Art Deco motifs.
Get ready to strike a pose. Capture a photo of yourself at your fabulous, Instagrammable best.
Over a delicious 3-course dinner, our live singer performs modern classics…1920s style. Name that tune, anyone? The vintage vibe continues between courses as the flapper girls show off their best Charleston dance moves.
The drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed — and the entertainment has only just begun.
The dance floor is open, the party band is on stage and it’s time to shake your tail feather. Take a break from the dancing at the casino tables, or get your bling on with professional glitter face painters.
And don’t forget to visit the photo booth. Those photos will remind you of the best Christmas party choice you’ve ever made.
End of Prohibition Party London Venue
Our End of Prohibition Party is in central London at the Hilton Paddington. This famous 4-star venue was designed by Brunel as part of Paddington Station’s terminus building. Transport links, both overground and underground, couldn’t be better.
The event space itself is beautiful — a traditional ballroom with high ceilings, chandeliers and a classy blend of Art Deco and contemporary aesthetics. If you fancy a pre-party drink, we recommend 146 Paddington, the hotel’s London-inspired cocktail bar.
The Hilton Paddington is perfect for an overnight stay. It offers over 400 stylish, spacious rooms plus a fitness centre.

The dress code
There’s no dress code because we want you to relax and have a good time. However, if you’re stuck for ideas, here are a few suggestions:
For men:
Black tie is always a good option, especially with a pocket square (folded handkerchief). Alternatively, go for a dark jacket with cream-coloured smart trousers and a straw boater. And how about a side parting?
For women:
We’re talking glamour and elegance. Fringed, beaded and sequined flapper dresses — black and dark red were popular 20s colours — long black gloves, jewelled and feathered headbands, long strings of pearls.

"For the 2nd year in a row we have booked our work Christmas party using West End Events, and they delivered once again! Another fantastic party, so well organised and executed, friendly staff on hand all evening, and a great venue with excellent entertainment. Genuinely couldn't fault a thing, and hope to use them again for next years festive celebrations!"
