New Year's Eve Gala Black Tie Dinner and Party

An Elegant Celebration to Welcome 2027

Join us for a glittering Black Tie evening as we bid farewell to the year and welcome 2027 in true Gonville style.

Begin the night with a complimentary glass of Champagne before taking your seat in Gonville Kitchen for a five-course feast, thoughtfully crafted with seasonal flair and the finest local ingredients.

Choose from two dining settings: elegant party seating in the Atrium or a more relaxed dining experience in the Terrace Room, both offering a welcoming and atmospheric setting for the evening.

Live jazz will accompany your celebration from start to finish:

6:30pm – 9:00pm: Robin Phillips, resident jazz singer & pianist

10:00pm – 12:30am: Drew Chamberlain, Bermudan-born singer & pianist

As the night continues, move into the Long Bar for cocktails and count down to midnight with a glass of fizz in hand.
