This is not a Christmas party. It's an experience.

Once a year, Sugar & Fox create an evening that people talk about long after the night is over. Masquerade at Royal Nawaab Pyramid is that evening for Christmas 2026.

From the moment you walk through the doors of this £15M architectural landmark, the night takes over. The venue is transformed. The atmosphere is unlike anything else in Manchester.

And every detail, from the entertainment to the dining to the bars, has been designed to make you forget this was ever just a work Christmas party. This is a night built around one idea. That Christmas, done properly, should feel extraordinary.

From the moment you arrive to the last dance of the night.

The moment you step through the doors of Royal Nawaab Pyramid, the outside world disappears. The venue has been transformed. Opulent decor, atmospheric lighting and a scale that stops you in your tracks. Your mask is on. The evening begins.

A lavish canapé reception sets the tone before you take your seat in the Masked Ballroom for a South Asian feast crafted by Royal Nawaab Pyramid’s award-winning kitchen. As dinner unfolds, the stage comes alive with a world-class cirque and masquerade spectacular that runs throughout the meal.

Then the evening shifts. The Velvet Playground opens, dessert canapés, immersive rides, games and a state-of-the-art digital capture experience. At 11pm, Club Masque opens its doors for those who want more. And for those who stay until the very end, a decadent midnight feast awaits.

This is Christmas done properly.
