Strictly Spiegeltent - Business community cast their votes

Arrival of the Spiegeltent ballroom turns heads in Gloucester

Christmas in Gloucester this year sees a rather different kind of experience in King's Square. The majestic and stunning Spiegeltent is an ornate, early twentieth century travelling venue adorned with wood panelling, mirrors, stained glass and leather-lined seating booths.

This unusual travelling ballroom is the centrepiece of King's Square's Winter Wonderland'.

Nigel Tillott, partner of Davies and Partners Solicitors in Barnwood was enthralled by the launch evening, "The concept of promoting the city with attractions like the Spiegeltent is innovative and imaginative and will benefit Gloucester immensely. We are proud to have our headquarters in such a forward thinking city."

Verline Leo, Business Development and Operations Manager at Gloucestershire Airport took her 6-year-old daughter and husband. "We walked through the doors and got the nicest feeling. They have thought of brilliant events for everyone."

In the daytime, the glittering venue will be open free of charge as a licensed Belgian café, house Santa's Magical Post Office, offer music and activities. Evenings will be set aside for hosting sumptuous dinner and cabaret evenings with live bands. Great performances imminent include goth band The Damned, a sensational swing night with Big Swing Night, The Wurzels and Abba Gold.

The Spiegeltent launched on Thursday and looks set to notch up another proud success towards the surge in Gloucester's regeneration pulling visitors of all ages and tastes to our proud city.

Tim Harris from Abbey Business Equipment, Cheltenham states, "Raising the profile of Gloucester through such a different and impressive venue has to be commended. Initiatives like this draw people back to our city helping us deservedly win business and tourism."
