On the 20th September the Impulse Events team headed down to Lord’s Cricket Ground for our annual pre Christmas Party tasting.

This is always one of the most eagerly anticipated days of the year for our team and this year head chef Steve Smith truly outdid himself.

The menu is truly fantastic, over the years i have attended over 100 Christmas Party tastings, and i can honestly say that without doubt this was the best so far…

The starters feature wonderful ingredients such as Foie Gras and Caviar and there is a Beef Wellington option for the main course. Lord’s home made ice-cream was, as always to die for.

The full menu is listed below, if you have booked a Christmas Party at Lord’s you are in for a treat at your tasting on the 26th October, if you haven’t yet booked we have a few dates left so call one of the team today - 0870 383 4595

On the 6th September 200 Impulse Events undertook one of their most demading corporate events to date. We created a Hawaiian Beach Party for 1000 people inside one of the hanger-like halls of The NEC.

The event required 5 articulated lorries to deliver the mountains of flight cases and props required for such a large scale event.  Including 150 palm trees, hundreds of deck chairs, surf boards and beach huts.

The most demanding aspect of the build were the two Olympic sized beach volleyball courts, these required over 120 tonnes of sand and another 6 trucks to deliver it.

The Highlight of the event was without doubt the setting of a new world record for the largest ever Luau dance (852 people).

Impulse Events specialise in creating large scale bespoke events for our clients and this was the 6th event we had arranged for over 1000 guests in the last three years.
