NOCHE FLAMENCAAn Intimate Evening of Flamenco & Spanish Food
Experience the passion, rhythm and intensity of authentic flamenco alongside a three-course Spanish supper in this very special, intimate evening for just 35 guests.
Professional flamenco artists Karina Gracia (dance), Jaime Cantera (song & percussion) and David Nash (flamenco guitar) come together for an evening bringing the atmosphere, warmth and spirit of Spain to Elephant on the Green.
Throughout the evening, three courses of Spanish food will be interspersed with live flamenco, allowing the food and performance to unfold together at a relaxed pace. Enjoy a course, settle back with a drink, then experience the power and emotion of flamenco just a few feet away.
From the raw emotion of cante flamenco and the intricate rhythms of the guitar to the power and grace of the dance, Karina, Jaime and David respond to one another in the moment, creating a performance full of passion, spontaneity and exhilarating energy.
With only 35 places available, this is a chance to experience flamenco at its most compelling – live, intimate and up close – while enjoying Spanish food and drinks in an atmospheric setting. A fully licensed bar will be open throughout the evening.
Whether you already love flamenco or are experiencing it live for the first time, join us for a memorable evening of food, dance, song and guitar.
