Looking to get in the festive spirit? There’s nowhere better to head than Skylight Christmas at Tobacco Dock and we have all the details…
There is nowhere quite like London in December and if you are looking to get into the festive spirit once lockdown lifts, look no further than Tobacco Dock. Skylight, one of London’s best rooftop venues is expanding its famous offering this festive season to create one of the city’s biggest winter destinations – Skylight Christmas at Tobacco Dock.
Get in the festive spirit from the moment you arrive with a range of Christmas themed socially distanced dining and drinking experiences situated on the rooftop venue and at ground level across the Grade-1 listed warehouses and cobbled lanes of Tobacco Dock.
The iconic venue and event space will play host to an igloo village, a Feast in the Forest dining experience, spacious Après Ski Lodge bar, Off-Piste Speakeasy bar, Christmas market and Christmas Cocktail Cinema Experience.
Skylight Christmas at Tobacco Dock has been designed with the ever-changing COVID-climate in mind, providing Londoners and visitors alike with a safe and fun festive environment. The venue has both the ‘We’re Good To Go’ and ‘AIM’ COVID-safe accreditations.
“As a venue, we are very fortunate to have vast expanses of outdoor space surrounded by iconic views and a Grade-1 listed heritage building. What better place to still be able to safely meet with friends, colleagues that you don’t get to see often, or your extended
family? We have been diligently adapting our service offering since 04 July instituting rigorous Covid secure practices and policies, while maintaining our top service standard and not losing any of that Skylight joy” says Scott McVittie, Director, Meanwhile Events.
Igloos will be nestled along the cobbled quayside, the perfect spot for sitting under the stars with warming cocktails. Also located on the Quayside will also be a mini Christmas market, serving festive favourites, like spiced mulled wine and warming cider, pretzels,
chestnuts, churros and chocolate – whilst filling the air with some of the season’s most delightful aromas. huddle up in an igloo bubble complete with warming welcome drinks and alpine-inspired decor while making the most of the delicious food and drinks on offer.
For other foodies, the Feast in the Forest is a must. Enter a candle-lit clearing in an enchanted woodland where you can discover a magical dining experience curated by Alison Price executive chef Richard Cubbin, one of London’s leading party planners and event caterers. With a focus on high-quality seasonal and foraged ingredients, this six-course gastronomic journey will also feature delicious pairing cocktails and a specially curated wine list.
For those looking for some festive escapism, the Christmas Cocktail Cinema will be showing back-to-back classic Christmas movies. The cinema will be an adults-only experience and will serve delicious themed cocktails and gourmet snacks alongside the movies.
If you’re after a festive tipple or two, be sure to head to off-Piste – a secret speakeasy with exposed-brick walls and burnished copper wall fittings is an intimate space for those in search of a high-end cocktail hideaway. Off-Piste offers three different types of session. These exclusive experiences will serve up top-notch cocktails created by expert mixologist Sebastian Hollingworth.
