Expect flapper girls, Charleston dance moves, a 3-course dinner, unlimited drinks, red-hot rhythms, casino tables, glitter face painters… and feathers. Did we mention feathers?
There’s no need for a Rolls Royce Phantom. The Great Gatsby party is in a prime city-centre location, The Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel, with great transport links.
While the bar starts serving all-inclusive drinks, the ballroom doors open to a gorgeously decorated event space complete with chandeliers, candlelight and art deco motifs.
Over a delicious 3-course dinner, our live singer is on stage to entertain you. They’re modern classics… but with a 1920s twist. Name that tune anyone?
Between courses, the flapper girls show off their best Charleston dance moves. Here’s the full Gatsby girl (and boy) line-up performing on stage in London.

Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks are included in the ticket price.
Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks — plus 5 tokens, each redeemable for a glass of Prosecco or single spirits (with or without mixers).
You’ll be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco, then all-inclusive drinks are served from 8pm until 12.30pm.
There’s no dress code because we want you to relax and have a good time. However, this is a Great Gatsby party! What better excuse is there to dress up?
If you’re stuck for ideas, here are a few Gatsby-inspired suggestions:
Black tie is a good option, especially with a pocket square (folded handkerchief). Alternatively, a dark jacket with cream-coloured smart trousers and a straw boater. And how about a side parting?
We’re talking glamour and elegance. Fringed, beaded and sequined flapper dresses, long black gloves, jewelled and feathered headbands, long strings of pearls… and, of course, a feather boa.

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.
