Without the
precariousness of last-minute lockdowns, corporate Christmas parties
are soaring back to their former glory.
Going without a proper Christmas bash for a couple of years has really brought home their value to a lot of companies. So while the
sun may still be beating down outside as summer draws to a close, event planners have already started detangling the tinsel
and hanging up the mistletoe, to ensure staff and clients are given a festive celebration
that Santa would be proud of.
Here are five cracking corporate Christmas party venues to consider for this year's festivities.
Birmingham:
Millennium
Point
Millennium
Point has announced its corporate exclusive and shared party packages for 2022.
From £40 per person, businesses can get exclusive hire of the level 1 open-air
space for their Christmas Party. This package includes an arrival drink under
the Christmas tree, a two-or-three-course traditional Christmas dinner and a DJ
and dancefloor until midnight.
The package also includes exclusive use of the
fully licensed bar and features branded up-lighters and table crackers and
novelties. Corporates can customise this package with bespoke elements such as
the use of the venue’s 354-seat auditorium with a giant screen – formerly the
first IMAX in the West Midlands – for awards, speeches, or a Christmas film.
The shared
party night is targeted at smaller teams and businesses who still want the big
office party experience. For £40 per person, this night includes a three-course
meal, a fully licensed bar, DJ, and dancefloor along with all the Christmas
novelties from the exclusive party night but shared with other teams.

Barbican
Conservatory
The
Barbican is making the most of its Conservatory this Christmas with
tropical-themed parties for private hire.
The
Conservatory, the second largest in London, provides an oasis

and more than 1,500 species of plants, making it a unique location for
organisations looking to host Christmas parties.
The
Conservatory is a versatile space which can accommodate up to 475 people for Christmas
events. With food created by on-site caterer Searcys, guests can experience a
festive-inspired feast of dishes ranging from bowl food to a full seated dinner
in the Garden Room, an exciting event space adjacent to the Conservatory.
Packages
start at £118 plus VAT per person to include hire of the Conservatory.
Cocktails will be served on arrival; three hours of unlimited prosecco,
elderflower fizz, wine, beer, and soft drinks; and a DJ. Food options
include bowl food, a festive carvery or three-course festive menu with coffee
and mince pies, depending on chosen package and numbers.
