You may have seen the film starring Meryl Streep where she and other actors sing the back catalogue of ABBA songs.

There is also a storyline to go along with it but we won't spoil that for you in case you haven't seen it.

Inspired by the film, Mamma Mia! The Party transports fans to the island of Skopelos. The experience, which is located at London's 02 Arena will see the audience get the chance to dance, dine and have the time of your life.

As the sun sets, you’ll take your seats at Nikos’ family-run taverna where you’ll enjoy a four-course Greek meal.

Some of the dishes include a sharing Greek mezze where you get to dine with fellow fans of the band. There is also a Greek salad followed by braised lamb stifado and slow-cooked beef, served with garlic-roasted baby potatoes and roasted vegetables.

To end the evening, you'll get to finish off with lemon cake, as well as a choice of tea and coffee, and let's not forget cranberry baklava.

Meanwhile, for vegetarian and vegan guests, there are alternative dishes available with a main of potato and aubergine moussaka. For dessert, there are loukoumades which are Greek donuts served with fig jam.

While you pause between each course, there is a love story to be told with it coincidentally being set in a Greek taverna.

You will get to step onto Skopelos and meet Nikos, Kate, Adam, and Konstantina as they navigate family life in the taverna.

Plenty is going on as the sun sets over the Mediterranean (if only we were really there).

You will find yourself lost in a world of heartwarming, funny and entertaining stories which is performed all around you so get ready to get up close and personal with the cast.

Once your belly is full, you get to dance the night away at a glittering ABBA disco.

There are three types of tickets that customers can purchase for Mamma Mia The Party!

Standard tickets which will see each guest receive a welcome drink, a four-course Greek meal, and full access to the Mamma Mia! The Party show, and an invite to enjoy an ABBA disco after the show. These tickets start from £109+ each.

Premium tickets will see you either upgrade your ticket with their VIP Upgrade or go all the way and purchase a platinum ticket to have the full Mamma Mia! The Party experience. These tickets start from £230+ each.

The only slight problem with the evening was that you had to pay for drinks so you might want to bear this in mind when purchasing a ticket. However, overall the experience was fun and certainly gets you in the mood for a fun-filled ABBA night.
