While planning a Christmas party in Sydney, you can make it just how you want it to be, but there are a few things to consider before booking the venue.

Sydney’s summer Christmas means outdoor, waterfront and rooftop spaces are in high demand. Here are the key areas, each with its own character and a top pick:
Book by August for the best choice. Marquee waterfront venues and harbour cruises in Sydney fill months ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday nights in November and December. For smaller groups or midweek dates, you can often find availability into September and October, but the most popular spaces go fast. Send an enquiry as soon as you have a rough headcount and lock in the date.
Run through this checklist before you book. Each point has something concrete to check:
Christmas in Sydney falls in summer, so the season looks and feels completely different from the northern hemisphere. Expect outdoor rooftops, harbour cruises, beachside BBQs and long evenings instead of cosy firesides. That means shade, hydration and sun protection matter as much as decorations. The upside is that Sydney offers party settings most cities cannot match, from the Opera House as your backdrop to a private yacht on the harbour.
We had our Christmas party lunch for 140 people at Social Dining, Katie and Saskia were impeccable in their attention to detail and unflappable poise. No curveball was too hard and the wait staff were friendly and quickly knew all the guests with dietary requirements. Katie kept us up to date with the spend so we didn't go over budget.
We had a end of year function for our company. It was a really lovely event. Tasty food, great drinks, super helpful and friendly staff, flexible and accommodating organisers. We were able to make our function as we wanted and nothing was a problem. The venue itself is great. Highly recommend Camperdown Commons for any occasion.
Food: Good value for money and well presented. Able to cater for our group of around 65 without any hitches. Drinks: About what you'd expect for Sydney. We selected top quality but mid ranged priced wines and they were awesome. TV, MIC and music (all provided with no extra charge)- all contributed to the atmosphere and we were able to play some games. The team had a really enjoyable night out. Ambiance including decor and set up was amazing.
Loved how flexible and easy Belinda was to works with. No request was too difficult and Belinda made organising a last minute Christmas Party much easier than it should be.
We held our end of year party here and were not disappointed. Event management was easy, thorough and uncomplicated. Food was excellent and plentiful. Duck pizza was a favourite. Beautiful room with good art and pleasing aesthetics. Lots of comfortable seating for the older employees. I would definitely recommend for a corporate event.
The space was funky and fantastic, surrounded by the rest of the pub really made the party buzz. We were also allowed there until late which was fantastic if you're looking for a great cocktail space that has both an indoor and outdoor area. Saskia the venue manager was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the whole organisation of the event.
Having exclusive access to this venue was perfect for our team. The food and vibe were amazing! The team provided only positive feedback. The venue allowed our business to pretty much do anything - decorate the way we wanted, get our own DJ. They were so easy to work with.... and it all came together in only two weeks !!
Was such an amazing experience having our Christmas party at The Fields. The whole team were amazing to work with and really catered to our every needs.
