60's PARTY – LEEDS

Celebrating the client’s 60th birthday, the theme for this event was ‘The Swinging Sixties’.

Giant hangings, digitally reproduced from photographs taken of Carnaby Street shop fronts from the sixties, were hung around the perimeter of the marquee to re-create the feel and the buzz of London at that time. Specially printed Op Art fabric was screen printed and draped around the stage area, and made into slash curtains, to section off the corridor to the toilets. The black and white theme was maintained by using a chequerboard dance floor and black carpeting throughout.

Other detailing was in the banners depicting fashions and designers from the era, such as Mary Quant. Special effects in lighting were created by projecting news film footage from each year of the decade onto the centre of each table – a unique form of table décor! A performance by the ‘Bootleg Beatles’ completed this fancy dress event.
