What's involved
A CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THE AGES
Christmas party nights in Leicester 2026 run across 6 dates in December at the Empire Banqueting Hall — a Grade II-listed venue in the heart of the city. Tickets start from £76.80 per person (inc VAT) including a 3-course dinner, full production entertainment, and dancing until 1am. Groups of 8 to 40 are welcome at reserved tables, joining other companies or groups of friends for Moonlight & Mistletoe’s Winter Carnival.
Whether you’re booking for a team of 8 or a group of 40, the shared party format means you arrive together, dine together, and enjoy the full show at a reserved table that’s yours for the evening. No minimum numbers, no private hire costs — just your team, a 3-course dinner, and one of the best nights of the festive season.
The Winter Carnival transforms the Empire into a world of theatrical lighting, vibrant décor, and festive spectacle. From costumed performers and stilt walkers on arrival to the DJ set that runs until 1am, every element of the evening is produced by our team — the same team that has hosted over 100,000 guests across our Christmas party events.
Why not make it an extra special evening? The VIP Package gives you seating behind Super VIP, as well as table service for drinks during dinner.
Feeling extra boujie? Why not bump up to the Super VIP Package. You’ll get everything included as per the VIP Package plus a sparkling reception with canapes and seating in the front 2 rows.
