If you have never organised one before, read how shared Christmas parties work first — it covers the format, the table rules and the handful of things that catch organisers out.
If you need a number to take to sign-off, go straight to what a London Christmas party costs and then drinks packages explained. Those two together will stop the most common budgeting mistake in the market.
If the date is the pressing question, when to book sets out realistic lead times, and the 2026 dates page shows which nights have what.
