Tips & Advice

  • Book early, because the Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December nights are already sold out and several other nights have only a few places left.
  • Pre-order your drinks package before the night so the drinks are already waiting on your table when you arrive for the party.
  • Bring a credit or debit card, because Franklin's Gardens is a cashless venue and the bar does not take cash.
  • Send any dietary requirements at least 14 days ahead. Shared party guests can log back in on the booking website to update them.
  • Dress smartly for the night, because the smart casual dress code does not allow trainers or sporting tops.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Bernie's Sunday Lunch on Sunday 6 December is a family two-course carvery. Bernie meets guests and gives every child a free gift. It is booked separately.
  • Drinks packages can be pre-ordered so they are waiting on your table when you arrive.
  • Package upgrades are available on party nights.
