Three reasons to book your Christmas party at an Artemis venue

The festive season will be here before we know it, and if you’re the one organising this year’s Christmas party, the sooner you start planning, the better. Between managing the guest list, keeping everyone happy, and making it feel genuinely special, it can quickly stop feeling like a celebration and start to feel like a project.

That’s where we come in. At Artemis, we host events for groups of all shapes and sizes, and we’ve spent decades refining what a great Christmas party actually looks like. Here are three reasons why our venues should be at the top of your shortlist.

1. Everything is taken care of

Our Christmas party package is designed so that everything is included from the start. From the moment your guests arrive, they’ll be welcomed with a glass of Kir Royale. A three-course dinner crafted by our expert in-house chefs follows, with a tea and coffee station throughout and the bar open from 6 pm. For those who want to keep the party going, there’s the option to bring in a DJ and dance the night away. Plus, for guests who don’t want the night to end, on-site accommodation means no one has to rush off.

From your first enquiry to the final farewell, our team handles the details. Our experienced event coordinators are on hand throughout the evening, so you can actually enjoy the party alongside everyone else. You handle the guest list. We’ll handle the rest.

2. Food and drink worth celebrating

A Christmas party is only as good as what’s on the table, and we take that seriously. Our in-house chefs craft seasonal menus built around quality British produce, and our bar teams bring the same level of care and creativity to every pour. Think carefully curated reception drinks, showstopping cocktails and a wine selection designed to complement your menu.

Every dish and every drink is designed to create a moment, something your guests will remember long after the night is over. And because all food and drink is delivered by our own dedicated on-site teams (not external caterers), you get consistency, creativity and attention to detail at every stage.

3. Everything under one roof

Our venues are designed to hold a whole evening together seamlessly from arrival drinks and dinner through to dancing. Plus, if any guest wants to make a night of it, all of our venues have on-site accommodation. There’s no shuttling between restaurants and bars, no last-minute logistics. Everything is in one place, thoughtfully laid out and staffed by a team that knows exactly how the evening should flow. Whatever the size of your group, there’s a venue in our collection that fits.
