About The Christmas Lodge

The Christmas Lodge is a deliberately softer take on the shared Christmas party. The Fountain Room is styled as an alpine lodge — warm wood finishes, low lighting, seasonal detail — and the room does the work of getting people talking rather than a compère with a microphone.

The evening starts structured: a sparkling reception at 7pm, a three-course seated dinner at 7:45pm with entertainment running through it, and the fun casino opening at 9pm. From 10pm a professional DJ takes over until a midnight close.

What makes it work for a mixed team is the alternatives. Guests who do not want to dance have somewhere to go — the winter arcade and games, the photobooth, or the tea and coffee stations that stay open through the night. Nobody has to stand at the edge of a dancefloor pretending to enjoy themselves.

Eight dates are published and the price moves with the day of the week: £88 + VAT on Wednesday 16 December against £105 + VAT on the Fridays. Every booking gets an exclusive company table.
