Bompas & Parr are set to transform part of Westfield London this Christmas by creating the ultimate grotto for grown-ups. Beyond the Waterfall will take shoppers on a fantastical journey across an undersea lagoon to a mythical land, culminating in a cocktail bar staffed by mythical creatures. Set deep in the heart of Westfield London's luxury precinct, The Village, the journey will evoke the emotions and joy of the holiday season while creating a feeling of unbridled escapism woven from a mix of mythology, fairytales and science fiction.

The immersive experience mixes inspiration from fairy tales, boys’ own adventures and science fiction and is designed to evoke the emotions and joy of the season – drawing together friends and family with a good helping of nostalgia – while creating a feeling of unbridled escapism from the inevitable stresses and pressures of the holiday season.

The experience is one of Bompas & Parr’s most ambitious projects to date, uniting disciplines including structural engineers, mining consultants and theatrical prop-makers to transport thousands of Westfield London’s visitors into another dimension. Inspired by the narratives belonging to the most majestic mermen in literature, including the prophetic sea-god Glaucus, the cocktail bar at the heart of the experience means this grown-up treat can rival the seasonal experiences aimed at children.

Throughout December, guests will venture across a 20m lagoon on small boats – passing through a real waterfall – before arriving at the distant shore. There, they will embark on a journey of self-discovery, roving among an Aladdin’s Cave filled with piles of gemstones before arriving at the hidden cocktail cavern.
