The nights are drawing in, the leaves are changing colour and big coats have made a comeback. No doubt about it – winter (and therefore Christmas!) is well and truly on the way.
Even better, office festivities look set to be back in full swing this year. Whether you want an à la carte dining experience, to dance the night away, or a more casual pizza-and-beer celebration, there’s a Christmas party venue to suit everyone at Wellington Place. Here are our top six.
Mad Frans
To eat, drink and be merry, Mad Frans is the perfect spot for your office Christmas do. Catering from groups of two to 150, it’s great for larger Christmas gatherings. However, the versatile venue can suit smaller teams too.
Choose from a festive à la carte menu with two or three-course meals, like oozy breaded brie and Frans’ roast turkey. Or for a more casual dining experience, opt for the festive buffet for just £10 per person, featuring honey roast pigs in blankets and chicken liver pâté croutes, as well as other festive favourites.
For more information, or to book, visit Mad Frans’ website.
Crowne Plaza
For those that want overnight accommodation – but don’t want to travel very far to reach it – Crowne Plaza Leeds ticks all the boxes. With a capacity of up to 150 people, Crowne Plaza’s events team is on hand to make sure your Christmas office party is as magical as can be.
If you have a big team to cater for, take advantage of Crowne Plaza’s Roundhay or Headingley Suites private hire options. Meanwhile, smaller groups can book onto one of the hotel’s pre-planned Christmas Party Nights, which not only means you can network, but it takes all the organisational hassle off your hands. The evening starts with a glass of fizz, followed by a three-course dinner, and rounds off with a DJ so you can disco until late.
