The Complete Christmas Party Venue Rental Guide

Planning an office Christmas party in London, York, or Edinburgh? You'll love creating a memorable experience for your colleagues. Getting the perfect venue is a corporate Christmas party's most important planning aspect.

There's much to do in and around London: explore the British Museum, visit Buckingham Palace, or raid the charming stores lining Covent Garden. But when the jingle bells start ringing, prepare for a festive celebration to close the business year or reconnect with family and friends. If you're headed to Leeds, visit Kirkstall Abbey. In Glasgow? Don't miss the Glasgow Cathedral — and the terrific party venues as well.

When you book the best Christmas party venues on the Giggster app, you can plan a grand Christmas party, an intimate work Christmas party, or a rustic party just right for the holidays. Our event spaces are diverse, available at all price points, and perfectly spread throughout the UK; book the perfect Christmas party venue with just a few clicks.

Why Choose Giggster for Your Christmas Party

Bristol, Reading, and London Christmas parties connect colleagues, associates, and loved ones. It's a wonderful time to get together and form and foster bonds or reward employees in a city that knows how to pull out the red carpet treatment. Prepare for a hybrid working occasion at one of Giggster's office Christmas party venues in the UK.

• Want something that screams luxury for business events? Consider a great hall that you can decorate for your Christmas party. Look for event spaces with great lighting because you'll want to take photos.

• Intimate Xmas party venues promise a great night for small groups. They are some of Giggster's exclusive Christmas party venues, including backyard and patios. A private hire with a photo booth or other rentals is a plus.

• You could also opt for a place like Co-Working Space — one of Giggster's top Christmas party venues. Plan the party around the decor; show up with good wine and food paired with activity bars.

• How about a restaurant and bar with a private dining area for your festive gathering? You could go all out with a sit-down dinner and special courses. Get the menu right, and your Christmas event will be discussed for years.

The Best Type of Venue for Your Christmas Party

Are you planning the office Christmas party yourself? We advise getting professional services from an event management company to help you transform a blank canvas into your dream venue. However, if you want to make it hyper-personal with your spin, you can go simple, say pan a sit-down meal at a shared Christmas party. Whatever option you choose, you can't go wrong with booking an Edinburgh, Oxford, or London Christmas party venue with Giggster.

Apartments – Unforgettable Nights. Would you like to be the star of the party (after Santa, of course!)? Book an apartment on the Giggster app with its own entertainment system. Create a music playlist and hear it blast through the apartment as you and your guests dine and dance the night away!

Restaurants and Cafes – Delicious Food and Welcome Drinks. Restaurants are often preferred for corporate events and Christmas parties. Giggster has some fabulous restaurant venues for rent at several price points. The best part is that the venue team will handle the food prep, drinks, and cleanup.

Rooftop Bars – Festive Cheer. Rooftops during the winter can be magical. You would have to set up heaters around the venue, but the cold mixed with hot food and drinks would be perfect for a magical Christmas party.

Dance Studios – Places to Show Your Moves. Office parties are infamous for people breaking out into dance. Rent a dance studio for the Christmas party to give them a place to show off their moves. The Giggster app offers plenty of dance studios in London, Belfast, York, and more.

Warehouses – Perfect for Christmas Parties. A warehouse is the perfect location for a large-scale event, like a corporate Christmas party. We have warehouses with floor-to-ceiling windows, oakwood floors, and plenty of natural light.

Top Features to Look for in a Christmas Party Venue

Finding a perfect space is great, but you should ensure the venue fits your vision and requirements. Do you want to plan an escape room, murder mystery, Christmas gift hunt, or holiday charades as part of the festivities? Maybe you need an event venue for a seated dinner. Whatever your choice, Giggster is here to help you rent an affordable venue, a blank canvas for your epic celebration.

What is the lighting you're going for? You can choose the classic red and green colours popular with most Christmas party venues or a mellow golden and yellow hue. Your lighting and ambience will set the stage for your one-of-a-kind party.

Have you considered the decor? The event space will require Christmas-specific decor. You should check with the host if you can change the space. You may need string lights, garlands, a tree, and even a mistletoe!

Have you checked if the venue is weather-ready? The weather can be quite unpredictable, especially in winter. You should ensure the venue has indoor spaces or heating options. A backup generator backup is handy just in case the power goes out.

Organising a Christmas Party

The goal is to provide an unforgettable experience with huge or small guest numbers. Work with event planners or take the lead, as long as you book early and have enough time and ideas to curate a stand-out occasion. The hottest Christmas party trends can enhance your private event this festive season, and here are a few tips.

Choose a Date – When it comes to holiday parties, you should not choose the exact date—don't schedule an office holiday party on December 25th; no one will turn up. Most employees prefer spending special days with their own family and friends. Book the nearest date and start planning the party for that date.

Finalise the Guest List – Many office-style Christmas parties involve employees with their plus 1s. When planning the party, always account for the plus 1s to budget properly.

Plan for Surprises – Anything can go wrong at the last minute. You should ensure you have contingencies for weather, extra funds, drinks, and mince pies ready at all times.

Plan the Decor – Your Christmas party decor should stand out from what you would choose for regular year-round office or social gatherings. Ensure the theme matches the decor and event rentals.

Christmas Party Hidden Costs

As with any party, there are ways to cut costs. Once you have your budget, you should work backwards and keep allocating different aspects of the budget. To save money, look for these things.

Have you considered overtime fees?

Once office employees start partying, they usually forget when to stop. Guests may continue partying even after the time mentioned on the invitation has passed. At such times, the venue host may charge you an overtime fee. When budgeting for office parties, you should also keep overtime in mind.

Have you thought about the corkage fees?

If you plan to bring your alcohol, you may be charged a corkage per bottle. However, if you opt for rooftop bars or restaurants, using the venue's beverage service could be cheaper.

Does the venue have AV equipment?

If the venue already has good-quality AV equipment, you could use that. If you have to rent audio-video equipment, source them from local vendors who can give you a good rate.
