Your Office Party

Hands up everyone who’s looking forward to their Christmas office party? Yo, ho, ho, the festive season really is just around the next corner.If you’ve been given the unenviable task of planning an office party, how can you make sure it’s different from last year’s – or any other year? After all, isn’t Christmas all about paper party hats, pulling crackers, wishing it could be Christmas every day and getting a visit from the man in red himself?Well, yes, but there could be so much more… Why not step outside of the box and do something different? Instead of hiring a local hall or even using your own premises for your Christmas office party, why not venture out and make it a real occasion? Your staff work hard all year long. They deserve something extra.Events by Knight have vast experience in planning Christmas events, so we’ve put together a list of five alternative experiences to bring a different vibe to the party.

1. Cocktail Bar

Most city centres will boast a cocktail bar, in London you’ll be spoilt for choice but make sure you book early. Obviously the emphasis is on cocktails, but a mixology table gives you an opportunity to mix those festive spirits in a way you may not have dreamed possible. There’ll also be a seasonal menu on offer and perhaps an opportunity to learn about mixing cocktails and drinking them.

2. A Theme Night

Let’s face it, Christmas is all about fun and what could be better than a theme night? Dress to thrill at a casino night, masquerade at a masked ball, or perhaps focus on a chocolate theme with Christmas tree lollipops and edible table decorations. There’s plenty of options here – but remember, you don’t have to plan it all yourself. Come and chat to Events by Knight, we enjoy party planning.

3. Go Sailing

Boat parties aren’t just for summer. Wouldn’t a Christmas party on the water be just magical? Take your team to the Thames, enjoy the amazing scenery and Christmas lights with a whole boat dedicated for the sole use of your group. There’ll be a bar and restaurant on board, disco with a DJ and a late night drinks licence so you can forget about the time and party on down.

4. A Shared Experience

For small companies who wish to experience a bigger Christmas experience, why not join forces and share Christmas with other companies in a prestigious venue? Shared Christmas parties offer unique entertainment, three course meals, drinks, dancing, partying and a chance to mingle.

5. Just be Different

Who said a Christmas office party had to conform to tradition? Perhaps it might be fun to just be different and have a barbecue, a karaoke or beach party instead.
