How far in advance should I book Christmas party venues in Docklands?

Since Christmas is one of the most popular times of the year, we recommend booking the venue around 6 months in advance for bigger parties, and at least 2 months in advance for smaller ones. This gives you plenty of time to make sure that you definitely get the place, can decorate it to your liking, hire any external vendors, and get all the details ready and set before the official day of the party. Make sure all your guests RSVP so you don’t end up overpaying for anyone who won’t be attending.

How many people can I invite to a Christmas party venue in Docklands?

Docklands offers many spaces which are perfect for bigger events. You can invite even as much as 950 people to your Christmas party–definitely a great offer for those bigger company parties! However, in our selection of venues you will mostly find spaces with enough room for about 100 to 500 guests. And if you’re in need of a small space for under 50 people, you’ll find a few of those over here as well!
