Are you going for the usual or the unusual with your Christmas work do?

First off, let’s have a think about what you’re actually planning to do inside your venue. Are you thinking of focusing more on food and drinks, entertainment and décor, or perhaps an extravagant full package?

There really is a lot to consider and your venue of choice needs to have the capability to reflect the type of party you’d like to throw. The more unusual your choice of venue, the more you may have to compromise.

You’ll be in a better position to tick all the boxes on your list of requirements if you go for a recommended venue or one that you know to have a long-standing positive reputation. But, on the other end of the spectrum, a grand old boat on the coast of the UK or a stately home in a remote area may not provide you everything you need for success.

Think about being a little flexible with your dates

Yes, there’s no doubt that a lot of your attendees will be expecting a Christmas party in Christmas season, but that doesn’t mean you have to go down the traditional route. Being a little bit flexible with the date of your Christmas party will allow you to get the best pick of the bunch when it comes to your venue.

But, there’s an added bonus to be had when going slightly off season as you’ll normally find venues drop their prices after the Christmas and New Year’s Eve period. So, why not think about doing something different with your Christmas party London venue this year by planning an off-season event?

London has a lot to offer but so does the rest of the UK
