Guests were treated to a glass of pink fizz before walking though to the Raphael gallery, lit in rich reds and gold’s reminiscent of Imperial Russia. Entertainment included ballet performances, in between sumptuous courses of Vodka infused sorbets and Chicken Gorky. The Vanilla infused Vodka Poached Pear was the perfect accompaniment to an upbeat urban version of the Nutcracker’s Sugar Plum Fairy.
After a short walk through the new Decode exhibition guest continued their evening in the dome with Matryoshka ice sculptures and a chance to try their luck to become a Russian billionaire at the casino tables. A strong espresso at our coffee bar was the perfect nightcap to warm the soul before guests departed into the snow covered streets of Kensington, their own version of Red Square.
