Expect flapper girls, feather boas, the red-hot rhythms of the speakeasy, casino tables, all-inclusive drinks, glitter face painters… and feathers. Did we mention feathers?
You can leave the Rolls Royce Phantom at home. The Great Gatsby party is right in the heart of Manchester at the 4-star hotel The Midland, with great transport links. Or just stay put, relax and book an overnight stay.
It’s time to party like it’s 1922!
The doors open to an event space which rivals Jay Gatsby’s mansion. Golden decor, low lighting and luxurious Art Deco motifs.
Over a delicious 3-course dinner with all-inclusive drinks, our live singer performs modern classics… in 1920s style. Name that tune, anyone? And the 20s vintage vibe continues between courses as the flapper girls show off their best Charleston dance moves.
Fancy practising your Charleston swivel? Here’s the full Gatsby girls (and boys) line-up performing on stage in London.
View our 2023 Great Gatsby themed party – filmed across various venues.
Impressive moves! That’s a 10 from Craig Revel Horwood.
The all-inclusive drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed… and the entertainment has only just begun.
The dance floor has now opened. The party band is on stage and it’s time to shake your tail feather. If you fancy taking a break from the dancing, visit the glitter bar for some sparkly facial artistry, or try your luck at the Gatsby-style casino tables.

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, if you’re stuck for ideas, here are a few Gatsby-inspired suggestions:
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?
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.
