About Masquerade
Masquerade is the West End option for a company that wants the building to be part of the occasion. 60 Great Queen Street is a Grade II* listed Art Deco landmark: towering ceilings, dramatic architecture and interiors that need very little decorating to look extraordinary under theatrical lighting.
The evening opens with a canapé reception at 7pm, moves through to the Grand Temple dining area for a three-course dinner at 8pm, then entertainment from 9pm, a disco from 10pm and a live band and DJ from 11pm through to a 12:30am bar close.
The masquerade theme runs through the whole event and gives the night a sense of occasion that a hotel ballroom has to work much harder for. Your tables are yours for the duration, so the group has a base to return to between the dancefloor and the bar.
Free cloakroom and free car parking are included — unusual for a central West End venue, and genuinely useful if any of your guests are driving in.
