It’s a good idea to book your Reading Christmas party ahead of time to make sure that you get your preferred date and time secured. A lot of companies start their Christmas party search around March while others like to get summer out of the way first. The choice is yours but beware that demand for these kinds of events can be high.
There’s plenty to see and do in Reading. Visit the Reading Museum, Forbury Gardens, Palmer Park, Basildon Park, Abbey Ruins, Reading Minster and the Riverside Museum at Blake’s Lock. You’ve got the fun of a big town while being more peaceful than a bustling city.
Complementary or chargeable onsite parking is available at a lot of town centre hotels but it’s worth reserving early as it’s usually on a first come, first served basis. The town centre also boasts plenty of car parks at the following locations:

Reading is served well by trains with Reading Station in the town centre and Reading West (not surprisingly) to the West of the town centre.
Central Reading is jam-packed with late night watering holes, pubs, bars and nightclubs that’ll keep you entertained until the early hours. There are plenty of clubs that close around 3am, giving you loads of time to let your hair down on that dancefloor after your Christmas party has finished.

Shared parties are great for the Christmas season because they do the most festive thing of all: bring people together! Your venue space will be attended by various groups, which creates a buzzing and lively atmosphere, where everyone can let their hair down at the end of the year!
The low minimum numbers required to attend a shared party night, means that those smaller to medium sized groups with fewer numbers won’t have to miss out on all the fun of a larger party, or exceed their budget!
