London rooftop venue, Skylight, has announced its partnership with Tobacco Dock to create a new festive destination.
Skylight Christmas will launch on 3 December and will offer a collection of outdoor and socially distanced festive eating and drinking experiences situated on the rooftop venue and at ground level across the Grade-I listed warehouses and cobbled lanes of Tobacco Dock. The partnership with Tobacco Dock will offer an additional 4646 sqm of event space.
The event space will host an ice rink, an igloo village, a ‘Feast in the Forest’ dining experience, a Christmas market, a ‘Christmas Cocktail Cinema’ experience, alongside a Après Ski Lodge bar and a Off-Piste Speakeasy bar. Its on-site concierge service will also allow guests to book various experiences and add-ons whilst they are at the venue.
Skylight Rooftop, created by Meanwhile Events, has ensured the destination is Covid-safe and has gained the ‘We’re Good To Go’ and ‘AIM’ accreditations alongside participating in the governments track and trace system.
Scott McVittie, director, Meanwhile Events, said: “As a venue, we are very fortunate to have vast expanses of outdoor space surrounded by iconic views and a Grade-I listed heritage building. What better place to still be able to safely meet with friends, colleagues that you don’t get to see often, or your extended family?
“We have been diligently adapting our service offering since 4 July instituting rigorous Covid secure practices and policies, while maintaining our top service standard and not losing any of that Skylight joy.”
