If you haven’t already, it’s about time that you start thinking about your office Christmas party, as venues get booked up notoriously quickly! Not sure where to start? Check out these epic office Christmas party ideas for some inspiration…
Try Your Hand at Some Epic Crazy Golf
Don’t let the mention of golf put you off – or should that be putt you off? Getting your office together for a round of crazy golf is the perfect activity to book for a Christmas do. You can grab a few drinks and bond with the entire team as you make your way around the course. With places like Junkyard Golf Club offering mini golf unlike anything that you’ve experienced before, this is the perfect activity for anyone looking to organise an office Christmas party that won’t be forgotten any time soon.
Solve a Murder Mystery
Everyone loves a good murder mystery so what better way to end the year than by trying your hand at being a detective? Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a Sherlock Holmes or more of a Miss Marple, you can put your sleuthing skills to the test.
You can find murder mystery venues and murder mystery dinners popping up all over the country, and they often have various themes to choose from. From period storylines to a murder with a festive theme, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Not only does this make them an epic choice, but it also promises a hassle-free event for whoever is organising as food and drinks are usually included with the package.
Keep Things Classy with a Meal
There’s no reason why a team meal can’t be epic! As long as you plan it well, booking a private dining area, or a table at a high-end restaurant, could be the perfect way to end the year. Everyone loves an excuse to put on their glad rags and there’s no better excuse than Christmas! The Capital Hotel & Restaurant is a perfect choice if you haven’t been already?
To really make your Christmas meal special, you could even look into booking a dining experience to really give your office party that wow factor. Recently, experiential dining has taken off in a big way, and you can find plenty of immersive experiences that turn the meal into a complete experience.
Let Your Hair Down with Some Karaoke
A classic choice for Christmas, you simply can’t go wrong with karaoke when it comes to throwing an epic office party. Despite being seen as a bit naff or cliche, you can’t argue with the enduring popularity of karaoke Christmas parties. Whether you work in a large office, or as part of a close-knit team, it’s a bit of cheesy fun that no one can turn down after the welcome drinks. And really, how many opportunities are you going to get to belt out Total Eclipse of the Heart with your boss, or Pam from HR? This could be after a night of cocktails and frivolity at The London Cabaret Club
Give Axe Throwing a Go
Yet another activity that offers something out of the ordinary, axe throwing venues have been popping up all over the country so you shouldn’t have trouble finding one nearby if you work in a big city. While you’re unlikely to want to spend your entire Christmas do axe throwing (no alcohol allowed), it’s a fun way to start the night before heading off for drinks or a late meal with your coworkers.
