Christmas party ideas for Manchester:

  • If you’re after an alternative Christmas party, try searching in the Northern Quarter. Venues there are as unique as the area itself – a perfect option if you want a Christmas party with an interesting vibe.

  • Home to big bands such as Oasis, The Smiths and Bee Gees, Manchester is known for being an exceptionally musical city. No wonder karaoke Christmas parties are a hot trend here! It’s a brilliant occasion to sing your heart out to both classical carols as well as today’s top hits.
  • Themed Christmas parties are now a thing in Manchester. Need inspiration? Think of a 20’s style Great Gatsby winter evening on the town or an ugly Christmas sweater bash. Also, movie themes (Home Alone, Grinch) never get old – and if you’re after something eccentric, we suggest The Nightmare Before Christmas.

How to organise a Christmas party in Manchester – tips & tricks:

  • The earlier, the better – the best Christmas party venues in Manchester book out months in advance. The sooner you decide to start looking, the more choices you have. It’s better to have a few potential event dates in mind – this increases your chances of finding what you want. Remember to send out the invitations a few weeks in advance, too.
  • Good things come in small (or bigger) packages – as mentioned above, many of Manchester Christmas party venues have special offers for the holiday celebrations. Such packages usually consist of special (often bespoke) Christmas food and drink menus. Sometimes decor, entertainment and event manager services are included as well. And the best part? By choosing Christmas party packages you can save a lot – we know how to find the best deals in Manchester.
  • Music can make it or break it – a fun Xmas playlist is essential for a successful Christmas party. For laid-back staff Christmas parties play upbeat holiday pop songs, while for upscale dining pick a soft Christmas jazz backdrop. Remember to make your set long enough, too – don’t bore your guests with listening to the same short mixtape over and over again. If you don’t feel like creating your own playlist, you might want to hire a DJ specialised in Christmas parties – they know how to please the crowd.
  • Decorations create the atmosphere – there are some things that Christmas can not go without. They are part of tradition that we just cannot ignore. What does every Christmas party need to build a true Christmas atmosphere? Some Christmas lights, a mistletoe, a doorwreath,  themed napkins and tablecloths and of course you shouldn’t forget about - Christmas Tree!
  • Convenient location – when organising a Christmas party, bear in mind the location where the party is going to happen. The venue should be somewhere close to all the guests or if the first option is not possible - close to public transport hubs. The venue should be convenient and accessible for everyone attending so that you will not have to wait for ages for people who had to come through hill and dale.

Booked The Dining Room at Rendition
From the moment we arrived the team were amazing! The drinks were waiting for us so the party could start to mingle. Downstairs was all laid out and I was welcomed by Pippa who then introduced me to the rest of the team. I can not fault anything during the evening and my whole party enjoyed the evening from start to finish! All of the food was served to perfection and tasted amazing
