We hosted our 2023 work Christmas Party in the Q Lounge and it was such a success. We were very happy with the venue and the service all evening was fantastic. Prior to the event the venue were incredibly responsive to any questions that we had and worked hard to put on a fantastic event for us. I would definitely recommend.

Start your search in some unexpected venues if you are hunting down cheap Christmas Party venues – check out tea rooms, gastropubs and restaurants with Christmas Party packages. These venues can all offer a sumptuous experience without breaking the bank. Also, use your imagination to explore your options in unusual venues such as coffee shops, workshops or studio and gallery venues. With a touch of the right decor and some catered sharing plates, these unique venues are perfect for fun Christmas parties in London.
Christmas Party packages will vary according to the venue and the price you pay. However, most packages are paid for on a per person basis. Expect the following to be included in your offer: a sit-down service or buffet including a starter, main, and pudding (with coffee or tea) and a free aperitif or cocktail. Some packages may include access to games and other activities in the event space. You may also enquire if the space will be decorated for the occasion, however, you may be required to do it yourself to avoid an extra charge.
Christmas Party packages are generally charged per person so it may be tempting to base your decision on the price point alone. However, it is wise to always compare the packages, as some venues can propose a more generous party offer, more food, games, etc., in exchange for a small increase in the cost. Also, depending on the venue, there may be different pricing models according to the time you choose for your event. Generally, a lunchtime Christmas Party will be cheaper than an evening event. You may also check with the venue to see if any BYOB policies are in place, as even with a corkage fee, you can save money if you provide the alcohol yourself.

Entertainment Options for a Low-Cost Christmas Party
Hosting an affordable Christmas dinner or event in London doesn't mean you have to skimp on entertainment. There are plenty of budget-friendly options that can make your celebration festive and memorable. Here are some creative and cost-effective entertainment ideas to consider:
- DIY Photo Booth: Create a DIY photo booth with a smartphone or a camera on a tripod. Set up a background using festive fabric, a Christmas tree, or a simple wall decorated with tinsel and lights. Provide props like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and holiday-themed signs for guests to pose with. This setup encourages guests to capture fun memories without the cost of hiring a professional photo booth. If you aren’t sure about building a backdrop, unique or unusual Christmas party venues can also work as amazing backdrops for fun photos.
- Karaoke with a Holiday Twist: Karaoke is a fantastic way to get everyone involved and sing their hearts out. Create a playlist of classic Christmas carols and contemporary holiday hits. Use a karaoke app or YouTube for backing tracks to keep costs down. Challenge guests to perform in duets or groups for a more inclusive and engaging experience.
- Christmas Quiz or Trivia Night: Organise a Christmas-themed quiz or trivia night with questions about holiday movies, traditions, and music. Divide guests into teams for a bit of friendly competition. You can easily find trivia questions online or create your own. Prizes for the winning team can be simple, like homemade cookies or small festive ornaments.
- Craft Corner for DIY Ornaments: Set up a craft corner where guests can create their own Christmas ornaments or decorations. Provide basic supplies like clear baubles, paint, glitter, and ribbons. This activity not only serves as entertainment but also allows guests to take home a personalised keepsake from the party.
- Secret Santa or White Elephant Gift Exchange: A gift exchange is a classic holiday activity that doesn't have to break the bank. Set a modest price limit for gifts and choose between a Secret Santa or White Elephant exchange. Both options bring laughter and joy as gifts are opened and, in the case of White Elephant, stolen from each other.
- Festive Playlist and Dance Floor: Nothing gets a party started like music and dancing. Create a festive playlist with holiday favourites and upbeat tunes to encourage guests to hit the dance floor. A simple speaker setup is all you need to keep the party lively and entertaining.
- Winter Wonderland Walk: If your venue is near a park or scenic area adorned with Christmas lights, organise a brief winter wonderland walk. This can be a magical experience, especially if you time it for the evening when the lights are most splendid. It's a wonderful way to enjoy London's festive decorations and get some fresh air. London dazzles during the festive season, but the most enchanting Christmas decorations can be found at Oxford Street with its iconic lights, Regent Street for its angelic displays, Covent Garden's charming decorations and giant Christmas tree, and the magical light trail at Kew Gardens. Each location offers a magical experience, so the choice of a spot to soak in the holiday cheer is up to you!
- Cookie Decorating Contest: Provide plain cookies, icing, and decorations, and challenge your guests to create the most festively decorated cookie. This activity is fun, engaging, and delicious. Plus, it doubles as a sweet treat for everyone to enjoy.
Implementing one or more of these affordable entertainment options can ensure your Christmas party is filled with festive fun, without overspending. If you’d like to explore more creative options, check out 19 Unique Christmas Party Ideas for Large Groups.

We held our Christmas Party here and everyone loved it, we had such a good time and there was something for everyone! The food was delicious and the staff were so helpful and enthusiastic. Thank you for delivering such a great event! I really wish you luck in the future and I would look to return with friends
The venue was self-contained with its own bar and toilets. The staff were friendly and were well organized. Our company Christmas party went really well. i would like to thank the staff for their hard work and for making the event run smoothly. The food was lovely and well present on the table. Thank you Emma, Steve, Sophie and team.
Phil is absolutely amazing. He accommodated to all of our needs and nothing was too much! The drinks were great! A fun twist on regular cocktails, and the bar staff were happy to cater and make a cocktail to your preference. The DJ was perfect. He understood what atmosphere was needed and had the perfect blend. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. A wonderful Christmas Party
Abby and the Staff at Burlock Rum Room were very welcoming, helpful, accommodating and always attentive throughout. My work Christmas Party was a success, the venue was the perfect space for the amount of people attending, everyone enjoyed themselves. My colleagues told me that they thought the staff were lovely. What we paid was worth every penny! Thank you to Abby and her team. I would definitely use Burlock Rum Room again!
excellent service. We had our own dedicated server helping us out. He knew where each of us were sitting and what we had ordered (since we ordered in advance). Excellent venue as well, quite a classy room and very well decorated. They even provided Christmas crackers, which was a nice touch for our Christmas party. Food was excellent. Would 100% recommend this place
Great venue and the event manager was excellent and very responsive. They had a fast turnaround from another event before ours and they did an amazing job at getting everything ready for us. It was great to have our own room private room and cloakroom. I had great feedback on the party from the guests and everyone enjoyed themselves. The buffet was a bit late being served but when the food arrived it looked great. However those at the back of the queue did miss out on some items but that could be down to hungry guests serving themselves a bit more as it looked so good! Would definitely consider booking there again for future events.
Exemplary service. My team was happy and enjoyed the dinner. Some of the song requests they made were played and they danced to those tunes. We ended up making friends with people on the other tables as well. The atmosphere was really great. All the staff was very hard working and efficient. Excellent service by Sam throughout the visit who was looking after my team. The food was good in portion size, tasted good, and was not expensive either. My team mentioned that they had the best Christmas after a long time.
