This year marks the 100 year anniversary since the National Prohibition Act, starting an era of loosening morals, corruption and decadence. F. Scott Fitzgerald himself described the 1920s as a time when "the parties were bigger, the pace was faster, the buildings were higher and the morals were looser". Let us bring you back to those years and immerse yourself in the underground world of lawless bootleggers and their molls for this lavish New Year's Eve party.

For one night only, The Market House played host to Reading's flamboyant revellers and decadent flappers, in a night of indulgent entertainment with pop-up performances by Immersus, live music from The Night and Day Collective, vintage burlesque performed by the gorgeous Velvet Fox, mind-blowing magic tricks from The Prat in the Hat and dancing to Professor Gramophone’s electro-swing and vintage remixes. This event is a joint production of Immersus & Elysium Experiences. Both teams have joined forces, bringing high-end immersive theatrical production by Immersus to Elysium’s themed parties. Huge thanks to The Market House and their wonderful staff for hosting this crazy party and letting us take over the place for the night, we encourage you to go visit them if you get a chance!
