Winter Assembly is Launching on November 8th at the Courts Club in St John’s.
The club will undergo a complete seasonal overhaul, turning its tennis and basketball courts into an ice skating rink.
The Winter Assembly promises a cozy escape filled with a variety of attractions, making it ideal for holiday meetups and Christmas parties.
Beyond the ice rink, the festivities include themed activities, from charming ‘Chalaoke’ huts—cosy, karaoke-equipped cabins available for groups—to screenings of beloved holiday movies like Love Actually and Home Alone.

The area will also be aglow with towering Christmas trees and twinkling lights, while visitors can warm up by open fires and toast marshmallows.
Highlighting the event will be The Dome, a rooftop winter oasis nestled in Spinningfields, which debuts on November 22nd.
This exclusive space will be transformed into a magical snow globe setting, complete with picturesque decorations designed to make guests feel like they’re inside a winter dreamscape.
With room for up to 200 people, The Dome can be booked for private events, offering a bar stocked with seasonal drinks and festive fare.
For those looking to celebrate in classic winter style, The Lawn Club’s heated Festive Yurt returns on November 11th, bringing a warm retreat decked out with cosy sheepskin blankets and festive decorations.
This atmospheric venue will host lively DJ sets every Friday and Saturday, spinning holiday hits until the early hours.
A Christmas centrepiece adorned with cascading ornaments will provide the perfect backdrop for guests to dance the night away.
The yurt and other spaces at The Lawn Club can be reserved for larger groups and private holiday gatherings, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique Christmas party venue.
Access to the Winter Assembly is free, and additional programming information can be found on St. John’s official website by clicking here
