White Christmas Ball at the Italian Mill

Join us for a White Christmas party at The Italian Mill in the Museum of Making, Derby, for a night to remember!

Firstly, begin your evening with a drinks reception whilst enjoying the grandeur of the Civic Hall, before being invited to dine in the Italian Mill. The menu centres around a classical fayre, created by our very own River Kitchen chefs so you can indulge in three courses followed by teas and coffees and after that, the ultimate festive favourite – a mince pie!

In addition, you can enjoy the rest of the evening with entertainment from our live DJ, dance the night away to the best floor fillers then capture the moment with some fun snaps from the photo booth. What better way to celebrate the festive season!

• Drinks reception on arrival
