Viva ‘Jingle Bells Ball’ Christmas Show

Your seats are reserved and guaranteed for the show.

Our seating plan is a mix of table sizes with tables of 2, 4, 6 and 12 seats.

We will allocate tables on a ‘first come, first served basis’ as this year we will create our table plan based on the party numbers to make our booking process as simple as possible. All you will need to do is tell us how many people are coming!

This means that you will be unable to select specific seating online, but you can make specific seating requests if you want (i.e. if you don’t want to sit too near to the front!)

All seats in the venue are great with no obstructions in the way of your view of the show. There’s also no need to get up to the bar or wait in queues as there’s waiter service throughout the night serving drinks, cocktails and shots!

Yes there are ‘Dinner & Show tickets available to select when booking which include 3 course festive dining.

Whilst we recommend dining with us to get the complete ‘Viva experience’, you can opt to come just for the show by selecting a ‘Show Only’ ticket which is a reserved seat for the show.

The menu is available here to view – (2022 Christmas Party Menu – PDF )

You and your party must make your selection before your visit as this will help ensure a smooth running dinner service. We advise to send menu choices at the latest 2 days before your visit. You can submit your choices here online, or send to [email protected]

Please note – other festive food options may be available soon such as party platters, pizzas and snacks for those not wishing to have a full 3 course dinner. Please reserve ‘Show Only’ seats and we’ll advise when these are released.
