Legends of the immersive dining scene Gingerline are returning to London for their first shows in the capital in four years with The Grand Expedition: The Incredible Edible Journey.
Bigger and better than ever before, this culinary journey around the world will captivate audiences during a 100-minute dining extravaganza alongside a completely unique menu of enticing dishes, acrobatic acts and exquisite choreography. The Grand Expedition lands in a brand-new venue for 2024, Dalston’s Film Shed, an East London industrial warehouse that oozes character and natural charm making it the perfect setting for an adventure like no other.
In creating The Grand Expedition: The Incredible Edible Journey, Gingerline has collaborated with a host of impressive performers, artists and creatives including circus consultant Jack Horner. With over 20 years of experience working on stage and screen, Horner has been involved with the likes of Cirque Du Soleil, Frozen the Musical and Beauty & the Beast, and now brings his fantastic talent to Gingerline.
Set within a fleet of hot air balloons, guests will be transported across the globe touching down in far-flung destinations with impressive new scenes, immersive games, circus acrobatics and puppetry for an all-encompassing experience. Creative collaborators include artist Saju Hari and choreographer Hallgrim Hansegård. Each location has been crafted to perfection by designer Harriet Darling, co-founder of Darling and Edge, who also collaborated with Veuve Clicquot, Wildcat Gin and The Crystal Maze Experience.
With a menu cultivated by Gingerline’s Executive Chef Jenny McNeill, audiences are invited to delight in its divine culinary inventions. Dishes around each destination’s culture are presented by dancers, who serve these ingenious and delicious plates alongside themed cocktails from Whitebox, all expertly crafted and thoughtfully designed to deliver the ultimate dining experience.
