Each December, a new theme takes over the entire venue, and the 2025 Christmas party theme is 'The Midnight Carnival'.

Rumours say it is a carnival like no other, suspended in time between 1899 and the present, where whispers of fortune, spectacle, and secrets linger. As night falls, the carnival awakens from its forgotten era, drawing guests into a web of intrigue and illusion, where nothing is quite as it seems. But be warned—the enchantment is fleeting. When the clock strikes midnight, the carnival vanishes as suddenly as it appears, leaving only its mystery behind.
