About this Event
White Mink debuts in Liverpool at our glorious Spiegeltent | Indulge in little magical time-travel. Be transported back to the days of Swing and the Speakeasy. Vintage harmonies, incredible live jazz and a blend of entertainment that’s heady, intoxicating and surprisingly fresh. This is the vintage experience that’s not afraid to mix things up musically, re-imagining swing for the 21st century.
Look skyward, to be hypnotised by our entrancing fire dancer, as she unfurls in a display of colour and intensity from the aerial hoop.In other words, it’s going to be one heck of a party. Knees up. Dance. Rave. Disco – the names don’t matter because White Mink is unique. Nothing else fuses so many influences. Nothing else has so many fabulous entertainers.
That’s why when guests said goodnight at the end of last year’s sell-out event, they begged us for more. We’ve made them wait a year, but that’s okay because nothing else lasts in the memory like the magic of White Mink.
It’s Christmas, treat yourself
White Mink is even more special when you reserve a booth. Each Booth comes with a complimentary bottle of Liverpool Gin! Our booths seat up to 10 guests and are reserved exclusively for your group throughout the entire evening. You’ll even enjoy waiter service at your table.

Abigail delights with performances that are lavish treats for the eyes. Unfurling displays of colour and operatic intensity, her daredevil circus acts are served with balletic elegance and sensuality.
