As a passionate lover of the Jazz Age – from the dazzling fashion to the electric nightlife of New York and that heady mix of love and mystery – I was instantly transported into my element.
We handed our boarding passes to New York City at the gate, and in the blink of an eye, we were immersed in the roaring, glamorous world of the 1920s.

We devoured juicy mini burgers, crispy fish cakes, and melt-in-your-mouth salmon, all paired with champagne given a fruity spin – the perfect start to an unforgettable evening.

At 7pm, we were led into the ballroom, a breath-taking space with dimly lit tables surrounding the central stage.
Each table was adorned with elegant roses to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and a basket of freshly baked bread sat waiting for us to dive in.

After enjoying a few warm-up performances, the All About Gatsby experience kicked off at around 8.30pm, and it was immersive in every sense.
The moment the lights dimmed, and the music began, I was completely swept away into Gatsby’s world.
The performers were electric, the costumes stunning, and the entire room pulsed with the energy of the Roaring Twenties.
One unforgettable moment was when one of the fabulous dancers soared into the air, suspended by a strap tied to her hair.
Despite the unimaginable pain it must have caused, she made it look effortless and chic.

From the thrilling mystery to the ongoing drama, I felt as though I was right there at one of Gatsby’s lavish parties, swept into every scandal and secret.
Then came the three-course meal, and I was thoroughly impressed.
The crab starter was fresh and delicate, followed by a perfectly cooked steak that was tender and full of flavour.

The vegan dark chocolate mousse was indulgent and divine – the ideal finish to an extraordinary meal.
