Whether you’re celebrating with colleagues, friends or family, our Bournemouth Christmas party nights are perfect for groups of all sizes.
You’ll enjoy a delicious festive three course menu followed by an evening of entertainment with our resident DJ & disco until 12.30am on Fridays and Saturdays or midnight on Thursdays and Sundays.
You’ll have your own dedicated events manager, named place cards and personalised table plans and menus.
If you’re looking for a quieter midweek celebration, you might be interested in our Christmas lunch or dinner.
If you’re having a large Christmas do with over 50 guests, then our Franklyn Suite or Connaught Brasserie are the perfect Christmas party venues for you.
Both rooms are perfect for a work Christmas party, with their modern décor and access to private courtyards,
The Franklyn Suite is located in The Connaught Lodge, a separate building next door to the main hotel, away from holidaying guests. With its own private entrance and bar, this Christmas party venue offers a little more privacy and exclusivity to your occasion.
Smaller Christmas parties are held in Blakes, an elegant room with stunning chandeliers and direct access to our courtyard garden.
We reserve the right to cancel any Christmas party or change the function room according to final numbers up to 30 days before the event.
For private Christmas parties (50 guests or more), speak to our team about any little extras you might like such as midnight bacon butties, cheese platters or a photobooth.

Probably our 10th Xmas party night at The Connaught. Always great food and service from Simon & Maria's hard working team. The turkey this year was amazing. Rooms always clean and well done. Enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi before dinner too.
See you soon

Wow, what can I say, what a wonderful hotel and what a wonderful Xmas experience. Room came complete with some beautiful touches such as oranges, chocolates and a touching card signed by all the staff. The food and service as others have said was top notch, and totally flawless in every respect. A brilliant disco with one of the most entertaining DJs I've seen for a long time. Well done, absolutely amazing, thank you all. Regards Darren & Patricia (Room 206)

Our beautiful 19th century hotel is one of the most popular Christmas party venues in Bournemouth, thanks to our location just a few minutes from the beach and a five minute walk from Bournemouth town centre.
This also means that there are great public transport links for your guests arriving by train or bus.
We offer FREE parking at the hotel, although this can be busy at peak times so cannot be guaranteed. However, there is FREE residential parking in all the surrounding roads. And we’re lucky to have a long stay car park just a five minute walk away.
We have a passion for gin, with over 200 different varieties in our specialist gin bar.
We think that’s enough to keep everyone happy during your work Christmas party!
