What is a shared party?

Shared parties are large and spectacular parties to which you can buy tickets. For companies of any size, joining a shared Christmas party can be a great option. If you are a smaller company, this allows you to book seats at a full scale Christmas party, allowing you to benefit from the fun atmosphere and entertainment of a big event - and even meet new people. Our shared Christmas parties are themed . We provide specific details on each of our events on the website but shared parties will also include the catering, usually a sit down 3 or 4 course meal, entertainment, a DJ to provide the essential music, and full event management.

What are minimum/maximum booking numbers for shared parties?

This depends on the event. Some shared parties have no minimum, but many state a minimum of 10 people, as this is often the number of seats per table. Maximum numbers will depend on the size of the venue. We have stated the capacity on each of the shared parties shown on this website. We can accommodate up to 1500 guests for a round table sit down banquet or 2000 guests with different seating arrangements.

Will we have to share tables with other parties?

We will always try to seat you together but if, for example, you were a party of 35 and the seating arrangements called for tables of 10, it is likely that 5 of you will share a table with another party of people. If there were 38 of you we try and allocate you a table of 8. This cannot be guaranteed however as it depends on the number of tickets sold and capacity.

What is an exclusive party?

An exclusive party is an event booked exclusively for your company. It can either be an organised party package or we can create an exclusive party for you. For companies looking to hold a private Christmas party, there are many different types of venues and party packages available to suit any budget.

If you would like to create an exclusive Christmas party we can help you with the entire process, from the initial concept through to the management of the event itself, allowing you to sit back and relax on the evening. We can work with you on venue selection, party themes, entertainment, catering, music, hotel accommodation and much more.
