Christmas Party Venues!



Last week we did a dry run for an event we are putting on in December.  The venue wanted to showcase themselves to prospective clients and asked us if we could showcase the venue dressing we are putting in for their Christmas party nights – we of course obliged!

They are having a 1920’s / Great Gatsby theme for their group Christmas Party Nights – it looks glitzy, glamorous and this theme is very cool right now! Guests will be greeted with themed cocktails on arrival, all decoratively laid out on whiskey barrels, the theming / room dressing will tell the tale of 1920’s Manhattan and the great Band and Casino Tables will keep guests entertained all night long.

Having a showcase is a great way of getting new businesses interested in your venue and a great way of taking extra Christmas Party bookings in advance.  In this economic climate, customers are looking for more unusual and exciting things to set them apart from the norm so the more visual and creative you can be the better! Who doesn’t like to know what they’re getting, right?! 

Here’s a picture of some of the theming we are including in their December party nights all laid out for their showcase – pretty eye-catching yes?!

Steam Punk Themed Event!



We’ve been developing a new theme here at SCP HQ so here’s a quick insight to the details.


We got an enquiry recently for a Steam Punk themed event – so (probably like you) we got straight onto the wonders of Google to find out exactly what this could be.  It seemed to us that it is a good old mix up of Sci-Fi inspired, Steam Powered Machinery set in the Wild West of the 19th Century. The more we looked into it the more we loved it!  We’re planning a whole range of new props for this theme, so watch this space.


Meanwhile, our 1920’s theme is still high up in the popularity stakes – this theme is great as there are lots of twists and turns that enable you and us to use our creativity.  There is the glamorous, Roaring 20’s with beautiful Flapper Girls and Art Deco theming; this then links nicely in with 1920’s Aviation – extremely rich, gilded art deco.  The other part of the 1920’s is the Prohibition side of things – Gangsters and Molls and Speakeasy’s! Lots to think about and lots to choose from for this fabulous and flexible theme!


At the moment we are revamping our website to make it easier for you to use, navigate and see our array of props, theming and entertainment options.  Bear with us if you can’t find what you are looking for, the website should be complete in the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime, just give us a call or an email and we can discuss options and ideas for your upcoming event. 


You can also find us on facebook and twitter @steelcitypromo – so come have a nosy and keep up to date with the gossip!

New websites and new ideas!



We’ve been giving our website a real good re-vamp lately – have you had a look yet?  If not you can view it here.  The aim is to get our stock of props, theming and entertainment listed up there in a visual way so that you can all see what we have. Hopefully it will make it easier for you to navigate and you’ll get a better idea of the types of things we can offer! You might even notice one or two obscure props that you didn’t even know we had!!

Bear with us whilst we finish it off, soon all the theme pages will have a downloadable themed brochure that you’ll be able to get straight from the website. At the moment, we’re just re-working these too, so if you need a brochure or some ideas about an upcoming event, you know where to find us! We’ll be happy to send over any information you need and help you to plan the perfect event!

Back to the events we’ve been up to – today we’re off to Nottingham with a van full to the brim of 007 theming and entertainment.  The Wild West props are lined up in the warehouse ready for their event on Sunday and the 1920’s and New York props are all good to go too! Last week we had more Western events, casino nights and Caribbean awards ceremonies!  August is packed full of variety as you’ll see!
We’ve just got our HUGE Golden Guns back from the paint shop too – they are looking fabulous and are raring to go on many a 007 themed event!
