Esterline Racal Acoustics – Centenary Gala Dinner

Pre-Dinner Drinks:

In the Orangery at Savill Court, Egham, we created a drinks reception area that reflected iconic Britain through the ages. We made props such as a Red Telephone Box, Pillar Box, Century Guard, a British Bull Dog and then created a 'Tardis' tunnel to take guests through to an iconic early 1900's pub setting – The Racal Arms!

Laurel & Hardy with Charlie Chaplin greeted guests upon arrival and entertained them throughout pre-dinner drinks.

Dinner:

Sir Winston Churchill greeted each guest in turn as they made their way into the ‘Post War Street Party’ we had created and our 14-piece band played an array of well known wartime songs.

Entertainment continued throughout dinner with the Band, The Andrews Sisters and then a sing-a-long with our very own Vera Lynn.

During Vera Lynn’s last song, we set off an air raid siren to evacuate the guests back into the Orangery, where we had transformed it into an 80’s/90’s Pub and utilised props such as a huge Sherbert Dip, Rubix Cube and Vesper Scooter to reflect that era.

Post-Dinner:

To bring the event up to modern day, we had a ‘Robbie Williams’ tribute act burst into The Orangery with ‘Let me Entertain you’ and encourage all guests back into the Great Hall where we had transformed it into Modern Day – the balcony was starlit, table centres were changed, the dance floor went from Wooden Parquet to Black & White and full lighting effects on the LED wall created a stunning transformation. Robbie Williams tribute then introduced his fellow tribute band mates in ‘Take That’ who performed a fabulous set to bring the event to a close.
