Whenever you happen to read this blog post, if you have not already planned your Christmas party then NOW is the right time to do so. We start taking Christmas party bookings in January (well actually even before, as many Christmas party bookers will secure their venue over a year in advance). For large Christmas parties planning early is essential as the biggest venues worth knowing about get booked up immediately. For everything else, planning your party early will give you more choice, avoid issues such as losing your preferred dates whilst your committee ponders over your ideas and generally make your life easier as venues sales teams are often spread thin later in the year.

We are no longer surprised when we answer the phone in January or February to clients planning their Christmas parties. Whatever time of year it is, it is never too early to plan your Christmas events and the earlier you do, the quicker & easier it will be and more choice you will have. This is often surprising to people that have not planned a Christmas party before and it can be the biggest surprise when people find that certain popular Christmas venues are completely sold out well before summer has even passed. The reason for this phenomena is the fact that the best Christmas party venues, many of which you will find on this page, will get snapped up very early on for peak dates in December and November, and if you leave it until the last minute then you may find that all of the best venues have gone.
