Christmas party night inspiration


Oct 30, 2014 | Blog

If you are organising the office Christmas party or planning a festive celebration with family and friends and need some ideas, we have compiled a list of some of the events and themed party options from venues listed on our site.

Venues tend to provide a few different options for Christmas parties, usually including a themed party night, a shared party night and an exclusive tailored option. If you would like a completely bespoke party with your own choice of menu, decorations and entertainment, then an exclusive option is the way to go. However, if budget is a concern, choosing a themed night is more cost effective and it will reduce the time taken to organise the event. If your company or group of revellers is small, the shared or join-a-party nights are also a cheaper option, and a full venue makes for a better atmosphere.

Central London venue, RSA House will be hosting a sensational, spectacular Christmas party experience with The Clandestine Circus package. Revel in the sights and sounds of the circus in the underground big top. Sweet candy floss stands, savoury hot dogs and cocktail flavoured popcorn will be on offer to delight your tastebuds and fabulous theatrical performances, moving statues, circus silhouettes and colourful entertainment will entertain and amaze your guests.

Enjoy a taste of the millionaire lifestyle this Christmas at Cheshire venue, Cottons Hotel and Spa. Experience the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties with the added excitement of Formula 1 and the French Riviera with their tribute to Monte Carlo. Be sure to dress to impress as there will be a prize for the best dressed flapper and her beau.

This year, Luton venue, The Auction House will be transformed into the magical world of Narnia. Step through the wardrobe and enter a land of eternal winter. The package is for shared Christmas parties for groups of 10 upwards and includes a 3 course sit down dinner, after dinner coffee, tea & mince pies, Christmas crackers and DJ Entertainment. For private parties, tailored themes include a Venetian Masquerade Ball, Black and White Ball, Casino Royale & Winter Wonderland.

If you enjoy classic, time-honoured festivities in elegant surroundings, Cheshire venues Davenport Green Hall and Haslington Hall are offering a traditional Christmas celebration with mulled wine, a three course festive feast, Christmas puddings and mince pies. Joining parties can be arranged for smaller groups.

For an enthralling evening of mystery, drama and festive thrills, Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes located on the famous Baker Street in Central London, is offering Christmas murder mystery dinners with Sherlock Holmes investigating... ‘Who shot Santa!’. The grotto is a crime scene, the elves are in uproar and Rudolf has gone missing! There are shared party nights and private party options available and the package includes mulled wine, a three course meal, DJ and disco and the murder mystery performance with professional actors, clue kits and prizes.
