Around the World at Battersea Evolution

Our clients sought to celebrate the diverse cultures and countries represented within their company through an 'Around the World' themed annual corporate party. The goal was to create an immersive, entertaining, and culturally rich experience for their employees.

The event was designed to showcase and celebrate global diversity through a series of themed entertainment acts, décor, and culinary experiences. Battersea Evolution, with its expansive and versatile space, was selected to accommodate the large guest list and elaborate thematic elements.

Guests were welcomed by comedic French mime performers, setting a playful and engaging tone from the outset. They then walked along a Hollywood-inspired red carpet, complete with hired paparazzi capturing their grand entrance, making each attendee feel like a star.

Upon entering the main event space, guests were immediately wowed by a massive LED wall spanning the entire back wall, displaying vibrant images and videos from various cultures and landmarks around the world. The centrepiece was an extra-large mirrored circular bar, creating a visually striking and reflective hub for socializing.

The entertainment was designed to surprise and delight. Roaming giant elephant costumes, controlled by skilled performers, added a whimsical and exotic touch. Themed acts performed behind the bar, offering continuous entertainment and a dynamic visual experience. A 360-degree photo booth was set up with a backdrop featuring famous landmarks from around the world, allowing guests to capture memorable moments and take home personalized souvenirs.

Guests enjoyed an array of country-inspired street food stalls, offering a diverse range of culinary delights from different parts of the world. This provided not only a delicious dining experience but also an exploration of global cuisines.

After the meal, the CEO delivered a speech celebrating the company’s cultural diversity and achievements. To close his speech and kick off the party, a lively dance-off was staged. One team of Bollywood-inspired dancers faced off against a team of cowboys and cowgirls performing a hoedown throwdown, energizing the crowd.
