Dine Out Event Series builds a bridge between the famous people and culture of the country they represent.

Inspired  by the famous question “Who would you invite for dinner – dead or alive?” these event series invites you to dine out with one of the artist’s world icons and explore the traditional cuisine alongside.

Time travel with an exclusive multi-sensory immersive entertainment by choosing a time period or a public figure that you’ve been always interested in. The personalised experience last up to 3 hours and can include multiple characters. 

Dine Out Event Series is an intimate gathering of people equally interested in arts & culture, food and new experiences. Each event has its own “flavour” and immersive atmosphere as the actor, dress up as the character, will re-enact the chosen celebrity and entertain guests by sharing stories, anecdotes of their time and reflecting on what life has become these days. Each world icon (actor) has its own storytelling routine as well as a list of activities that everyone is doing in the group.

Feel free to choose from the world icons list below or inquire about the character you would like to see for your corporate function or birthday celebration event, or festival. We are working along with famous actors across New Zealand, so we are sure that we will be able to bring any world icon back to life. Please email us – papayastories@gmail.com to discuss it further.
