About Winters of the World
Winters of the World is the option to look at when a seated three-course dinner is the wrong shape for your group. The format is built around movement: 40 minutes of Eisstock — a Bavarian curling-style game hosted by Mr Björn Owlafsson and his Game Masters — gets people talking within minutes of arriving, which does more for a mixed team than a seating plan ever will.
Food comes from globally inspired stations rather than a formal sit-down service, and drinks are served across themed bars using a per-person token allocation. That keeps queues down and lets people eat and drink at their own pace.
The venue itself is one of London's larger purpose-built event spaces, fully covered, heated and ventilated, set within Finsbury Square. Entertainment runs continuously — roaming performers, live après-ski bands from the French Alps, and DJs.
Four packages set how long you have the space and how many drinks are included: Rushmore (3 hours), Fuji (4 hours), Mont Blanc and Everest (5 hours). Mont Blanc and Everest also include a winter arcade game token per person. It runs both a daytime slot at 12:00 and an evening slot at 18:00, which makes it unusually flexible for a December diary.

Winters of the World — your questions
- Is Winters of the World a sit-down dinner?
- No. Food is served from globally inspired stations and each guest chooses one main. If you want a formal three-course seated dinner, look at Wonder Nights at Moorgate or the Grand Masquerade Ball at St Paul's instead.
- What is Eisstock?
- A Bavarian curling-style game played on ice. Each booking gets 40 minutes of it, hosted by Game Masters. It is the reason this party works well for teams who do not know each other well.
- How many guests can Winters of the World take?
- From 10 to 750 guests, which makes it one of the few options on the site that suits both a small team and a whole-company party.
