Christmas Party Planning Tips And Tricks
- Secure your party venue early, as the top locations in London book out fast, especially corporate Christmas party venues. After booking your private space, send out invitations as soon as possible, as diaries fill up quickly at this time of year.
- Ask for a menu tasting. This step is especially important for planning a private Christmas dinner or hosting a large party.
- Check whether the venue is willing to clean up afterwards or if there are additional fees for that service.
- Consider throwing a themed private party (like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Nightmare Before Christmas, or Christmas Around the World) or holding a festive competition (like best Christmas jumper or best achievement of the year). You can even consider organising a party with unique Christmas Party themes.

What to know when booking a Christmas party venue
- Your budget - figure out if you’re looking for a cheap Christmas party venue or something more upscale, like a fine-dining holiday experience.
- Your guest list - If you’re planning a Christmas party for 50 or 500 guests, your chosen private venue should be just the right size for the number of guests you anticipate.
- The atmosphere - do you need something casual, like a local Christmas restaurant or pub, or something a little more upscale, like a wine bar or private members’ club? There are plenty of different venues in London to pick from!
- The sound system - don’t forget to create a Christmas party playlist before the day to make the atmosphere pop!
- Entertainment options - remember to speak to the venue manager about what you have in mind, if it’s setting up a festive photo booth, hiring a live band or having Father Christmas come to visit.
- Additional fees - check if any cancellation fees or other extra costs apply and make sure you can fit them into your budget.

Fun Festive Feast Ideas On A Budget
Whether it's a corporate bash or a private Christmas party with your friends, the clinking of glasses and the aroma of delicious food are essential ingredients (but pricey) to any magical holiday celebration. This year, take your festive feast to the next level while saving some money. Let's explore some fun and budget-friendly ideas!
- A potluck is a classic choice. Encourage your guests to bring their favourite holiday dish or dessert, and set up a table with themed decorations and holiday music! For more inspirations on potluck themes, check our 10 Christmas Potluck Party Ideas!
- Buffets are also a great way to save money while still offering a variety of delicious options for your guests. London has many event venues like Lumiere London Shoreditch Loft near Hoxton Square and Christmas restaurants such as The Lady Ottoline in Bloomsbury, where you can choose a holiday buffet option.
- Instead of serving a full meal, consider opting for a selection of finger foods like mini sliders, stuffed mushrooms, or bruschetta. They encourage mingling and socialising among your guests. Little Bat Bar & Kitchen in quaint Islington and The Princess of Wales near vibrant Camden Town are examples of Xmas party venues that offer various festive finger foods.
- If you're hosting a large-scale holiday event, create food stations with traditional holiday treats like hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies to give your guests a Christmas market atmosphere! By hiring a spacious warehouse such as a plantroom in Hackney Wick or an outdoor venue with space like The Derby Rooftop near King's Cross Station, you can organise an unconventional Christmas party that is lots of fun!
- Get your team involved! Host a gingerbread house decorating competition, where teams can showcase their creativity and bond over the holiday spirit. It may not be a filling meal, but everyone's hearts will be filled with joy and laughter!
Remember, the merriment is in the details, not the price tag. With a little planning and creativity, you can throw a truly festive London Christmas party that fits your budget perfectly.
