Christmess is a colourful foray into Nicky’s Imaginarium, a naughty and anarchistic world inhabited by St Nicky and his revolutionary theatrical entourage.

Launching on 15th November for a six-week run, this year’s Christmess is set in the Olde London, Victorian surroundings of The Hunter Penrose, an old warehouse on Southwark Street. Featuring a pop up bar, deep-southern feasts, raucous parties, live jazz, cabaret and a glittering bazaar.

Christmess is set in a parallel world where Christmas has been cancelled, and St Nicky is harbouring a group of rebel elves in an undercover hothouse of revolution thinly disguised as a present destruction factory. Featuring festive feasts by Slap Ya Papa, indulge in a 12 dish soulful lunch or dinner with plentiful platters of Cajun roasted turkey and candied yams along with a bonanza of sweet things and other surprise treats.

Prepare to enter a mesmeric world of Mama Claus’ hidden parlour-come-blues room, a Santa’s Whiskey Grotto, a hidden absinthe bar and also a wine bar serving glasses of glogg and platters of cheese.  The season of frivolity unfolds with numerous happenings such as live music nights, mindful talks as part of the Imagination Series, Sunday storytelling from The Embers Collective, a comedy matinee of the Night before Christmas and many more events.

Public tickets are priced at £55 a head and private hire options are available for both lunch and dinner.
