The office Christmas party is a yearly phenomenon anticipated by all, enjoyed by most, remembered by few. Most of us have a pretty good idea of what goes on at a Christmas do but here are some Christmas party invitations you wouldn’t expect to get.
1. You are cordially invited to come and explore the gruesome and gory history of London!
Not the first thing that pops into your head when you think about Christmas, is it? Nonetheless, the London Dungeon offers Christmas corporate party events where you can enjoy all the treats and terrors of a usual tour, guided by the dungeon’s spooky inhabitants, plus wine, cocktails, food and some devilish dancing to the beat of the Dungeon DJ.
2. Come along to a night of comedy, where the jokes are all about you!
For a more cheerful Christmas celebration, why not watch a comedy show? Take your colleagues to a comedy club, or hire a comedian to come and entertain you at your premises. What you might not know is that you can have a personalised show, where you provide information about your company and colleagues, then sit back and enjoy the show whilst a comedian takes the biscuit. But don’t worry, you can set the limits beforehand so that no-one gets too offended!
3. Have an action packed Christmas and come shooting!
No, this doesn’t mean shooting people (although there may be some people in the office you’d like to) or animals. The West London Shooting School offers corporate clay pigeon shooting events at a time that suits you, so whether you want an eventful evening with a barbecue to follow, an active morning with employees back to work by lunch, or you’d rather make a day of it and combine it with 4×4 driving, archery or another activity, this could be a great bit of Christmas fun.
4. Turn back time and feel like a child again – we’re going to the fair!
OK, so this one isn’t actually a fair. In fact, Namsco Funscape is an entertainment complex (basically a giant arcade) but with the addition of Europe’s fastest bumper cars! Choose from over 150 of the most recent video games to play, or have a match in one of 12 UV bowling lanes, or place a bet in the luxury pool hall. You can even be the star of the night with a round of karaoke. With private hire options, this is just one of many suggestions for unusual party venue hire London has to offer.
5. “We’re walking in the air”. You’re invited to an adventure over London!
Why not take your corporate Christmas event to new heights this year? 135 metres high to be exact. A ride on the iconic London Eye will be an event to remember, and at Christmas the views are bound to be particularly spectacular. Explore London in a way you never have before. If you want a more interesting example of the venue hire London can offer, this is it!

Mark Godfellow works in the events sector and he knows the importance of a good venue, both for venue itself as well as its location. Christmas and New Year’s Eve are the busiest, and some venues can be booked even in the summer, even though Christmas seems so far away. Mark recommends booking your favourite place, especially for a corporate party as soon as possible.
