DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (25 October 2017) – After the roaring success of the inaugural Cirque de Cuisine in May 2017, Dubai’s original evening dine around event is set to return with a Winter Wonderland theme for the festive season. Taking place in The Avenues at Atlantis, The Palm on Thursday 7th December, early bird tickets for the all you can eat and drink concept start at AED 495 and will include four hours of festive fun including free flowing bubbles from 7pm until 11pm, with a cash bar after party being hosted in The Avenues until 3am.

The premise of Cirque de Cuisine: The Festive Edition allows diners to wander from restaurant to restaurant, enjoying signature dishes, live cooking stations, extravagant buffets, delicious drinks and live entertainment, all with a festive twist. The nine signature restaurants are all in a two-minute proximity of one another and with tables and seating in abundance and all restaurants only open for Cirque De Cuisine ticketholders, guests will be able to roam and sit freely in any of the participating restaurants moving from one to the next at leisure.

In keeping with the festive theme, The Avenues will be transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring circus entertainment, candy cane stilt walkers and winter acrobats roaming the walkways. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed by a choir singing Christmas carols under a giant wreath arch constructed at the entrance and decorated with festive ribbons and bells. As guests enter the event, Christmas trees, snow-capped old-fashioned street lamps, fairy lights and life-sized nutcrackers will line The Avenues, leading to a huge snow globe where guests can snap that perfect festive selfie from within. Additionally, Seafire will host its own Jack Daniels inspired tree made from barrels and The Lost Chambers Aquarium will feature a magical Christmas Grotto, where guests can fill out a festive themed post card and give it to Santa and his elves to send to a loved one, wherever they may be in the world. Additionally, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar’s terrace will transform into a Christmas market complete with snow, picnic tables and festive themed games.

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available at seven different bars throughout the venues including a spectacular ‘feature bar’ located in the centre of The Avenues, serving unlimited bubbly, house beverages and the festive classic, mulled grape throughout the evening. Those looking to continue the night will be treated to a festive after party from 11pm to 3am in The Avenues, where partygoers can continue to wander between the bars located in Nobu, YUAN, Bread Street Kitchen and Seafire whilst listening to the resident DJs blast some Christmas classics.
