Where has this year gone?! Already September is upon us, the children are going back to school and summer holidays are starting to become fond memories. Each year really does seem to fly past more quickly and 2015 is certainly no exception. Which means that Christmas is just around the corner! Yes, already - especially if you have a party to organise . . . . .
This Christmas, central London venue Middle Temple invites guests to journey back to the Tudor era and experience a glorious Wolf Hall inspired festive party. The Hall makes the perfect Tudor court backdrop for the main party, with an interior filled with historical features from beautiful stained glass windows to intricately carved screens and oak panelled walls festooned with coats of arms.
