We have just tailored a New Orleans/Mardi Gras BBQ menu for one of our clients, with deWintons caterers. Themed menus are a great way to enhance the party atmosphere at any event; not just BBQ’s but buffets, canapes and even cocktails. Add to this coloured napkins, beaded necklaces and masks and the Mardi Gras theme is off to a rolling start!

Themed events are always great for Christmas Parties and now is the right time to start looking for the perfect party for your company Christmas do. Dates get booked up so fast for the festive season - especially Thursdays! - that party organisers need to get their skates on to secure their preferred date and top London venue.
Classic Xmas Party themes include Winter Wonderland, James Bond Night, Roaring Twenties, Big Freeze, Traditional Christmas and Mask Parties. The possibilities are endless though - see our themes page for more ideas - imagination is the only barrier for your themed Christmas bash!
Give us a call here at Riverside Events to discuss your party requirements for Christmas in more detail. Let this year’s party be one that will never be forgotten…

We here at Riverside Events and Venues work hand in hand with our sister company Topsail Events & Charters and this partnership works brilliantly - allowing us to share event information and communicate easily to ensure we are always coming up with fresh ideas for our clients. It also means that each company likes to shout about the other’s achievements.
It is with great pride then that we would like to congratulate Topsail Events on winning the rights to run the hospitality on board the visiting Tall Ships in Liverpool for the tall Ships Race 2008. Over 100 ships will be visiting the Liverpool waterfront - a UNESCO world heritage site - over the weekend of the 18th - 21st July 2008. Hospitality will take place on beautiful square-riggers, schooners and other ships in Liverpool’s impressive docks: parties, receptions, lunches and dinners will add to the party atmosphere and help Liverpool celebrate it’s City of Culture status in this important year. Perhaps you have a company link with Liverpool, maybe you have clients who you need to entertain there…or maybe you just want a great party in the great party town! Whatever the reason, the Riverside team and the Topsail team will be working together to make Liverpool 2008 a great time for entertaining!

The past couple of weeks I have been busy viewing more stunning venues in London to add to Riverside Events & Venues’ portfolio. There really are some amazing venues for hire in the capital, including numerous hidden gems that even we didn’t know about until recently!
From a crumbling 19th Century theatre hall full of atmosphere - perfect for murder mystery dinners, Champagne or cocktail parties and even weddings for the couple who want something different; hung with lanterns, drapes and copious flowers it is a place to let your imagination run wild - to an immense 1930s art deco venue holding up to 2,600 guests; the ideal venue for conferences, themed events and gala dinners.
I have also visited a ‘country manor in the city’ with several beautiful courtyards and a gorgeous roof terrace for summer barbecues and soirees accompanied by an alfresco band. Not forgetting the sparkling chandeliers, circular balcony and luxurious decor inside!
In Greenwich - where we can drop you off at Greenwich pier aboard one of Topsail Events & Charters’ Thames Sailing Barges or other larger boats - I have discovered some fab venues; modern designer bars and private rooms, Victorian attic rooms and pretty muralled walls overlooking the greenery of the park - these little-known event spaces in this charming and historic area of London make the perfect venue for your party, dinner or meeting.
