Sodexo Prestige, the caterer and event operator at Newcastle United's St James’ Park, is hosting carnival party nights and buffet dinners throughout December, for groups of family members, friends and work colleagues.
Each event begins with hot starters and main courses served at the table before guests move to the stadium’s Platinum Club, to take their pick from a variety of candy floss, toffee apple, cupcake and doughnut stalls at a spectacular Christmas Carnival.
Along with the sweet treats, the Platinum Club will be filled with traditional fairground sideshows and attractions, with prizes on offer for lucky winners, with music from a disco led by the stadium’s in-house DJ.
The carnival nights – which are returning for the third year running - form part of a packed programme of festive entertainment at the stadium, which also includes the annual Golden Oldies lunch and disco on Wednesday 13 and 20 December and Santa Sunday lunches on 3, 10 and 17, when youngsters will be able to visit Father Christmas in his grotto.
Also making a welcome return, is the stadium’s festive shopping fayre, which last year attracted hundreds of shoppers keen to snap up last minute Christmas gifts.
The two-day event, on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November, will not only showcase a wide variety of local arts, crafts, artisan food and gift ideas but will also feature a Santa’s grotto and carol singing by local children.
In addition, those wanting to host their own, private party at St James’ Park this Christmas can entertain their guests in a private suite at the stadium with bespoke catering and entertainment and the option to join in the fun of the Carnival Party Nights on selected dates.
