About the PROJECT
HUMBUG is an immersive, theatrical Christmas party set beneath London at The Vaults, near Waterloo Station.
It blurs the lines between bar, cabaret, and storytelling: guests step into Santa’s favourite dive bar (a bit worse for wear), where he’s allegedly lost his festive spirit. The mission over the evening is to help Santa rediscover his mojo.
Expect a kaleidoscope of theatrical moments, live band performances, cabaret acts, sing-alongs, games, secret rooms, confetti blasts, indoor snow and surprise interactions as the night unfolds.
Guests can also roam through lavishly decorated spaces — from a Mariah Carey shrine to Santa’s grotto — alongside themed cocktail bars, street food vendors, and immersive bar-style games like beer-can bowling.
The total experience runs around 3 to 4 hours, typically including a show segment followed by a party and social time. It’s strictly 18+ and offers a range of ticket options, from standing and seated areas to VIP lounges, with food by Bang Bang Burgers and a “Naughty or Nice” cocktail list.
In short: HUMBUG is Christmas turned up to eleven — part immersive theatre, part wild party, all festive chaos.
