Too Hot to Think About Christmas? Think Again


it feels slightly strange to be talking festive drinks and twinkling lights while everyone is melting. But if you’re planning the next work Christmas event, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your venue.

After years of planning and managing events, we know that choosing the right space and location can make or break a Christmas party. So, here are five venue options worth considering with our faves thrown in!


1. City-centre hotels

A classic choice, and for good reason. Hotels offer accommodation, food and drink, event spaces and often excellent transport links, making them a practical option for larger teams and guests travelling from further afield. There is always a great after party location nearby too!

TREEHOUSE HOTEL, MANCHESTER


2. Unique and unusual venues

Offering an option that your guests haven't been to before! Think museums, galleries, historic buildings, warehouses, railway arches or another unexpected space. With the right production and styling, an unusual venue can become something truly memorable and one your guests will be still talking about into the new year.

BLACKPOOL TOWER


3. Private dining venues

Perfect for smaller, more intimate celebrations. Private dining gives you the opportunity to focus on great food, excellent service and conversation, without needing to fill a huge event space. The best high-end Christmas chic!

FRAMELESS, LONDON

HAMPTON MANOR, BIRMINGHAM


4. Country houses & exclusive-use venues

If you want to make an occasion of it, an exclusive-use venue can deliver the full Christmas experience. Think beautiful surroundings, festive décor, overnight stays and plenty of space to make the event your own.

WILDERNESS RESERVE, SUSSEX

TOWN HALL, KINGS CROSS, LONDON


5. Something completely different

And sometimes, the best Christmas venue isn't a traditional Christmas venue at all. An activity-led event, themed experience or completely bespoke location can give your guests something they'll genuinely remember.

CENTREPARCS, UK WIDE

THE UNSEEN ROOM, MANCHESTER


The venue is only the beginning.

From guest arrival and entertainment to catering, production, suppliers and timings, there’s a lot that goes into making a Christmas event feel effortless.

That’s where we come in.

So, while everyone else is trying to cool down from heatwave number five, why not get ahead of the Christmas rush?
