VIP Reception

Enter Cirque and start your night with a welcome glass of fizz in our VIP reception marquee. Greet your guests at the registration desk and drop your coats at our fully staffed complimentary cloakroom before grabbing a drink from our waiting staff and converse with your colleagues under the clear marquee roof. With crisp winter leaves and a view of the glowing uplit trees that are over 200 years old. The perfect London winter landscape.

The VIP reception includes our main bar, champagne bar, toilets and cloakroom as well as access to the covered smoking area.
