Christmas On A Budget: 10 Great-Value Festive Venues

We've all seen those festive films where the company Christmas party is a Pinterest-worthy spectacular affair - and clearly very, very expensive.

We don't all have sky-high Christmas budgets but festive celebrations can be seriously snazzy without breaking the bank. We've compiled a list of our top 10 festive venues to get you and your colleagues ready to celebrate in style, and still have budget left over for the all-important eggnog and mince pies!

The Little Scarlet Door

The Little Scarlet Door is an iconic bar and restaurant in the heart of Soho, with two levels of stunning event spaces to fill with festive flair. Decked out like a New York loft, it features cosy nooks and crannies, nostalgic entertainment, and a quirky vibe that'll blow even your coolest colleagues' Christmassy socks off.

In the open plan living room, you'll find a cocktail bar, arty surroundings, and access to an outdoor courtyard, while if you make your way to the basement, you'll be met with lavish, comfy seating, a hip, underground vibe, and games like a Nintendo 64 to keep all of your guests entertained. With cocktails and good food on offer in-house, you won't need to worry about making it onto your team's nice list this year!
