For a Christmas party that sidesteps the predictable and brings all the sparkles, Mamma Mia! The Party at The O2 offers something special. This immersive dining and theatre experience takes its cue from the much-loved 2008 film, bringing Abba’s soundtrack to life within a detailed set inspired by the Greek island of Skopelos. The result is a festive celebration that trades tinsel for sunshine - if just for the evening!
Set within Nikos’ taverna, the experience unfolds around you. Professional actors, singers and dancers perform throughout the night, weaving a light-hearted, feel-good story between courses. It’s not a retelling of the film as such, but it captures the same spirit - romantic, energetic and fun. Guests can sit back and watch or join in, with plenty of encouragement to get up and dance as the night goes on. Later on, a DJ set keeps the momentum going for those keen to extend the party.
Food is central to the experience, and the Christmas offering follows the same generous format. A three course Greek menu with the option to add cheeses at the end, created by Chef Debbie, includes dishes designed for sharing and sociability. Expect the likes of Greek salads, braised lamb stifado and slow-cooked beef with garlic roasted baby potatoes and vegetable briam, followed by a selection of desserts.
For corporate groups and larger festive bookings, there's plenty of options and the team has thought of everything. Well-versed in hosting sizeable parties, there are options to tailor the night to suit different formats depending on your needs. Drinks packages, branded touches such as place names and tent cards, and adjustments to the running order can all be arranged. For exanple, there’s scope to begin with a presentation before the main event, or to extend the DJ set for a later finish.
For those looking to go further, exclusive hire is available, allowing the entire taverna to be taken over for a private Christmas celebration. Dedicated event planners work with each booking, with optional additions including VIP packages, champagne on arrival and merchandise party packs.
