The event will start with a tour of the Wieliczka Salt Mine 'Tourist Route', located on levels I-III (64-135m underground), taking in 'stunning salt landscapes, beautifully-crafted chambers, salt lakes and majestic wooden structures, salt sculptures and numerous underground chapels.' The Global Insulation Awards Dinner itself will take place in the Warszawa Chamber, situated 125m underground, illuminated by chandeliers made of rock-salt. The diners will be serenaded by the Brass Band of The Miners, and a classical string quartet, followed by traditional folkloric music and dancing. Delicious and traditional Polish food will be served in a four-course banquet, washed down with drinks of your choice including Tyskie Polish beer and the famous Wyborowa Polish vodka. During the evening the Global Insulation Awards will be presented. Sensible footwear is required for the Dinner, due to the nature of the tour and some uneven surfaces - high heels are not advised.
