Scroll

27TH NOVEMBER – 19TH DECEMBER 2026

From £40 per person

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.
