party description

Welcome to the magical world of ‘The Chocolate Factory’.  This is your golden opportunity to embark on a mysterious and fantastical adventure this Christmas 2012.  

As you enter through the black iron gates, Willy Wonka will invite you into his factory of fun and frivolity where ‘nothing will be what it is, because everything will be what it isn’t’.

Stepping across the grass, you will find yourself drawn into a fascinating reception surrounded by giant flowers, toadstools, lollipops and candy canes.  Not to mention the wondrous Wonka machine!  Meet Mr Wonka and his staff, the Oompa-Loompas whilst enjoying a traditional glass of sparkling wine or one of Willy Wonka’s Candy Cocktails.

A sumptuous three course meal will be served at your candy-adorned tables.  As dinner concludes, a puff of smoke appears, along with Oompa Loompas handing out Wonka bars.  The question is – who holds the golden ticket?

Once you have munched your way through the evening on chocolates and sweets hidden amongst the theming, the dance floor lights up and the music begins.  If you have a taste for dancing, this is your chance to while the night away with your sweet disco moves!

Why not add some of these extras?

  • Golden ticket invitations for all attendees
  • Company logo on giant lollipops for each guest to take home with them
