Bloomsbury Big Top

Every winter, a full-scale Big Top appears at Coram's Fields in Bloomsbury — not a pop-up bar with bunting, but an actual performance structure with overhead acrobatics, full themed production, and capacity for 650 seated diners. Bloomsbury Bigtop is operated by the Awesome Group as an all-in-one Christmas party and winter events venue, and the all-inclusive model means organisations book a complete experience rather than assembling one from parts.

Immersive Christmas at Bloomsbury Bigtop

The themed production changes annually, but the format is consistent: reception drinks in the Parisian Lounge, three-course dinner in the Starlight Ballroom with live circus performers rotating through the space overhead, then DJ, dancing, and optional extras like casino tables and photo booths. It's designed to feel like an event, not a dinner — the kind of Christmas party where the venue IS the entertainment rather than just housing it.

Scale Without the Coordination at Bloomsbury Bigtop

For organisations booking Christmas parties for 100-plus people, the usual challenge is coordinating venue, catering, entertainment, production, and AV across multiple suppliers. Bloomsbury Bigtop collapses that into a single package. Shared nights accommodate groups from 10 at dedicated tables alongside other companies; exclusive hire from around 300 guests gives full control. The Fountain Room provides additional space for conferences and awards dinners within the same park site.

A Seasonal Venue with Purpose

Available November and December only, the Bigtop's limitation is also its strength — every element of the venue is optimised for winter events. Thermostatic heating, professional lighting and sound throughout, fitted cloakrooms, and a dedicated kitchen marquee. Five minutes from Russell Square, with King's Cross St Pancras providing mainline and international connections for teams travelling from across the country.
