January Parties                                                       

Exclusive Christmas parties in January are becoming increasingly popular! The run up to Christmas can be the busiest time of year for some companies, so why not give your staff (and you!) the opportunity to really let their hair down and enjoy your celebrations? The venue will still be themed to give it that special atmosphere and you can benefit from reduced minimum numbers!

Request your Christmas Brochure 2012 now!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Fine Cuisine was catered by none other than Sanjay Foods. The Ballroom was draped in gold and white material, tables were dressed with red and white linen. Lighting was romantic and even the Lazy Suzanne’s lit up.  Both the Dining Room and Ballroom definitely had the wow factor! Decor supplied by Swarg  www.swarg.co.uk/ 

Guests enjoyed some appetising dishes created by Sanjay Foods and their team of chefs. www.sanjayfoods.com/ The Dining room was given a make over with additional draping, a display of fresh fruit and a large Ice Sculpture draped with grapes alongside a range of cocktails. Everything was thought of and no detail was missed.

We were delighted to have in attendance Hanah Caan, Trustee of the James Caan Foundation to talk about the wonderful work that the Foundation is involved in.  Hanah highlighted the continuing needs of the people of Pakistan and their ongoing plight since the devastating floods that wiped out entire towns and villages – and most importantly that these people cannot be forgotten about as they still need our help in building back their villages and their lives.  As businesses with a charitable responsibility we were very much moved by the Foundations ‘Build A Village Project’ and this is why we decided to help by holding this event in aid of this charitable cause.

The main focal point of the evening was to raise as much funds as possible and we are pleasedto announce that we raised over £4,000 on the night!

Hanah Caan, Trustee of the James Caan Foundation commented on the success of the event.
“I was delighted to be able to attend the event on Wednesday. It was amazing to see the people of Leicester still remember the need of the millions of people still struggling with the aftermath of the floods.  Thank you so much to Asma and Sameer (of Douglas Wemyss Solicitors) for their kind generosity and support.”

We had many generous donations for the auction; prizes included: Signed books from James Caan (ex-Dragons Den star), Diamond Jewelry from Goldsmiths, Personal Coaching session with ex-England Cricket star Paul Nixon and hire of a Mercedes-Benz SLK 250 Sport Automatic to name but a few!

Asma Karim (of Douglas Wemyss Solicitors, Leicester) stated: “I am extremely grateful to all of the companies and individuals for their generous donations of raffle and auction prizes; it is this collective coming together of local Leicester based businesses that helped us to raise the monies for charity – not forgetting of course everyone who placed generous bids and bought raffle tickets.”

The evening consisted of elegant savory and sweet canapés catered for by City Rooms in-house chef and served with sparkling wine, and the atmosphere was brought to life by an array of entertainers, including a live pianist, a magician, a Michael Jackson dance impersonator and a singer!
