It may seem too early in the year to start Christmas party planning, but the earlier you start, the better (and more magical) the experience will be. From finding the perfect Leicester Christmas party venue to creating the right atmosphere, there are several key elements to consider when organising an unforgettable event.
Whether it’s for work or another important occasion, here’s our guide to planning a festive affair that’ll leave people feeling merry – plus why Mattioli Woods Welford Road could be the perfect venue to host it in.
The venue sets the tone
Choosing the right Christmas party venue in Leicester is essential to ensure the success of your event. Whether you’re looking for a traditional venue or thinking outside the box, it’s vital to ensure that your chosen space has the capacity and facilities to throw a party to remember.
Why Mattioli Woods Welford Road? As the home of rugby giants Leicester Tigers since 1892, Mattioli Woods Welford Road boasts a rich history and an electrifying atmosphere. With 34 suites and nearly 4,000 square meters of space, it stands as the largest venue in the East Midlands. If you're seeking a Leicester Christmas party with unmatched energy and excitement, our venue provides an unbeatable ambience for the festivities.
Location is everything
The phrase ‘location, location, location’ is well-known for a reason! The right location can make or break the turn out of an event, and you want it to be easy for all guests to get to. Thankfully Leicester isn’t short of its central Christmas party venues. Look for a location that is conveniently located for your guests and offers amenities like parking, accessibility, and onsite or nearby accommodation for those coming from out-of-town.
Why Mattioli Woods Welford Road? Conveniently situated just a 20-minute drive from Junction 21 of the M1 and a short 15-minute walk from London Road Railway Station, Mattioli Woods Welford Road offers easy access for guests. With ample on-site parking and accommodation courtesy of the 190-bedroom Hotel Brooklyn, our venue is perfectly placed for guests' comfort and convenience.
Christmas is all about the food
No Christmas party is complete without feast-like food and novelty drinks. Make sure your chosen venue or catering company has a set festive menu that reflects the spirit of the season - from classic holiday favourites like roast turkey and glazed ham to gourmet appetisers and decadent desserts. Guests also love a signature cocktail, mulled wine, and, of course, non-alcoholic festive alternatives for designated drivers.
