My budget is under £30 per person. What Christmas parties would you suggest?

It's important to be realistic about what your budget can accommodate. For instance, think about what £30 would get you at a restaurant, in a pub, or at your local bowling alley. While you can still host a fantastic party within this budget, you might want to consider options that are closer to home and offer great value for money. Many venues in London have budget-friendly packages that ensure you don’t have to compromise on fun just because your budget is smaller. Remember, a smaller budget doesn't equate to less enjoyment—creativity and a great atmosphere can go a long way in making your celebration memorable!

How can I make my Christmas party more affordable?

If your funds are limited, consider tailoring your Christmas party to focus on only the essential elements that matter most to your group. Instead of booking a comprehensive package that includes food, drinks, entertainment and all the other bells and whistles, instead look for a party that allows you to pick and choose just a couple of these elements.

If you’re in London and need a private space to host your party, consider booking a venue such as a pub where you cover the minimum spend, but guests will be able to buy additional food and drinks. If you're interested in entertainment, consider hosting a fun DIY karaoke session or game night instead of hiring professional performers.
