How can I make my Christmas party more affordable?
Focus your budget on the things your team will actually use and enjoy, rather than paying for a package packed with extras. Shared party nights, minimum-spend venues and DIY entertainment can all help keep the cost down. Some parties have several different packages that might make your party more affordable, so it's always worth checking those out. You might miss out on some real goodies with the more basic packages, but it doesn't mean your group won't have fun without it!
Is it cheaper to have a Christmas party during the week?
Usually, yes. In London, Thursday and Fridays are very popular dates, so booking during the earlier part of the week does make it cheaper, although prices vary between venues.
“After helping companies organise Christmas parties across London for more than 25 years, we know that the biggest savings often come down to timing and flexibility. Being open to different dates, locations and party formats can give you far more options when you’re working with a set budget.” - Josh, Office Christmas Party Specialist
Should I book my Christmas party early to save money?
Booking early can give you access to early-bird offers and better-value packages, with some venues offering discounts or price incentives earlier in the year. It also gives you more choice of dates and packages.
Are there any extra costs to look out for?
Always check exactly what your ticket includes before booking. Extras such as photobooths, cloakrooms, canapes and service charges at some pubs, bars and restaurants may cost more.
