We know that for some people it will be a bitter-sweet experience when they are away from home during the Christmas period, whilst for others there will be some joy and perhaps even relief at being away from the stress that this time of year can bring… whatever the reason or motivation for those of you who will be in and around the Circus during Christmas and New Year we have got some things organised for you to enjoy.
Here at The Circus we have always seen Christmas and New Years as a special time. Sharing this period with people from all over the world is always a wonderful experience, and 2012 will be no different. For those of you who are joining us in Berlin over the holiday period, we will be extremely happy to be sharing the time with you.
At the Circus Hotel
In our restaurant Fabisch we have some treats in store for all our friends and guests who drop by during the festive period, starting on Christmas Eve (24th December) when we have our special Christmas menu available from 5pm. On Christmas Day itself (25th December) we will be offering a four-course Christmas Dinner, available from 5pm. Entertainment will be provided in the form of Christmas swing from Fabisch favourites “Whatever Rita Wants”.
For the last evening of the year, we also offer a very special four-course New Year’s Eve Dinner (from 5pm) and we hope you will stay with us through until midnight, with some good tunes and a toast when the clock strikes twelve. The next morning we will be continuing the celebrations with our New Year Brunch Buffet (from 9.30pm until 3pm), with live jazz from 11am… a great and groovy way to kick off 2013.
At the Circus Hostel
Christmas Eve in the hostel means free beer down in Goldman’s Bar, with Santa’s Special Christmas Keg. To get you in the mood, despite being away from home, there will be festive tunes on the sound system and movies on the big screen. Christmas Day comes with an invitation to dinner in the Circus Café ( two sittings, at 6pm & 8.30pm) and more drinks down in Goldman’s.
On New Year’s Eve we warm-up for the party of the year with another free keg of beer down in Goldman’s, and we will have loads of suggestions of where to celebrate the arrival of 2013. The next evening we will be chilling out with movies in the Circus Café, and the afterparty in Goldman’s Bar, featuring resolutions, guest DJs and more.
Of course, all guests from all houses are welcome to enjoy everything that we have organised, and perhaps some of you Berliners as well… we are really looking forward to it, and we hope to see some of you over the holidays.

We are extremely pleased to be welcoming an old friend to the Circus on Wednesday 18th July, as Kenneth (or Kenny, as we know him) Macleod joins us in Fabisch to talk about and read from his debut novel “The Incident”. We have known Kenny ever since he escaped Scotland to Berlin to lead tours whilst writing his novel.
We will talk to Kenny about his writing, about his life in Berlin and his literary inspirations, and we will also hear him read from his book. “The Incident” is a powerful novel of three interconnected stories that explore fate and those moments, or incidents, that can change a life forever.
