NORTH EAST partygoers are being invited to step into their very own Mamma Mia moment this September, with a spectacular celebration of all things Greek.

The Big Fat Greek Fest is set to return to Hardwick Hall Hotel on Saturday 20 September, promising an afternoon filled with music, meze and Mediterranean magic.

Back by popular demand, the event will transform the venue’s Grand Marquee into the sun soaked fictional island of Kalokairi, inspired by the world of Mamma Mia  complete with high energy performances, immersive theming and delicious Greek food.

Running from 12pm until 6pm, guests can expect a jam-packed afternoon of entertainment, starting with a traditional Greek cocktail on arrival, followed by a two course Greek lunch and a spectacular show.

The event’s centrepiece is a cast of 20 performers, including singers, dancers and acrobats, who will bring the Greek party spirit to life with non stop routines, live vocals and audience interaction.

With dancing encouraged and napkins sure to be flying, the event is perfect for those marking a birthday, hen party or just looking for a fabulous afternoon with friends.

A range of ticket packages are available, with options that include VIP seating, wine and prosecco package and even dedicated table service for the ultimate experience with prices starting from just £40 per person.

Helen Attley, sales and event manager at Hardwick Hall said: “The Big Fat Greek Fest is one of our most loved events and it’s easy to see why.

“From the moment you arrive, you’re transported to another world, it’s high energy, full of laughs and perfect for anyone who loves great food, live music and a party atmosphere.”

Tickets are now on sale and early booking is recommended, as demand is expected to be high.
