There’s nothing quite like Christmas in London. As one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and connoisseurs of all things sparkly, Searcys the Gherkin is planning a special occasion for diners; to get in the festive spirit with a Diamond in the Sky installation and Diamond Afternoon Tea.
Following the hugely successful Christmas Snow Globe creation last year, Searcys, connoisseurs of luxury hospitality, are delighted to once again be heralding the must-visit Christmas event of the season. Perched on one of the highest points in the city, the top two floors of the kaleidoscopic architectural landmark will be transformed into a sparkling Christmas extravaganza – think snowflakes, intricately adorned Christmas trees and a glamorously festive ‘diamond’ inspired Afternoon Tea.
Win a Diamond with Afternoon Tea – only 3 sittings available – win a diamond at each one!
And this year, as if their knowledge in champagne, gastronomic expertise, and their winter wonderland towering over the twinkling city of London isn’t enough to tempt, guests have the chance to win a certified sparkling Embee Jewels of London diamond. Searcys the Gherkin will be hosting three decadent Afternoon Teas, where during each sitting, every guest has a ‘diamond’ in their champagne flute. For one lucky guest this will be the real deal and they win a diamond to take home which they found nestled in one of their exquisite champagne flutes. As all guests have a glittering stone in their champagne, the suspense during the afternoon tea is which stone the Embee Diamond Inspector who is on hand to check (once the champagne is drunk) and will identify the real diamond ‘live’ from the ‘fake crystals’. With one winner of the diamond announced at the end of each day, all the other guests cherish the memory of a dazzling experience hosted by the World famous Embee Diamond Reception.
However, one might argue that everyone’s a winner with Searcys indulgent selection of hand crafted cakes and pastries delicately dusted with soft shimmer – cheese cakes, macaroons, traditional mince pies and a mouth-watering array of finger sandwiches – well it is Christmas.
As well as the three hosted Afternoon Teas, the Diamond in the Sky installation will be running throughout December, and will be welcoming the public, as well as their members who have access to these exclusive floors. Lunch and dinner in the soaring heights of the 39th floor and 40th floor ensure a special Christmas celebration for corporate events, Christmas parties and those feeling festive with families and friends.
New Year’s Eve
And for the most unforgettable night of the year, Searcys is also hosting New Year’s Eve. With panoramic views of London, guests can enjoy the expertise of Searcys’ champagne connoisseurs at their disposal with a special rare wine accompanied menu. Searcys will, of course, be serving the very best of the bubbles – what better way to welcome 2017.
