So, you’ve got the job of organising your work Christmas party and you’ve left things a little bit late (we know it’s only November, but let’s be honest most Christmas dos are booked at the end of the summer).

But this could play into your favour as it’s an opportunity to explore some fun alternative ideas to the traditional office Christmas bash.

Seen In The City recently offered some top suggestions that could be a great way to celebrate the end of 2019 with your colleagues, in a more fun and memorable setting than a local restaurant or pub.

One of the recommendations is to organise a theme party, which can have a lot of benefits. It’s good fun and will give you a talking point for a start, and you can host something like this in pretty much any venue provided you decorate appropriately. Don’t forget about your mobile disco hire in Kent to make sure you’ve got the tunes sorted.

Not keen on the idea of fancy dress? How about an evening of karaoke instead? Or you could go in a completely different direction and book your whole team onto a cookery masterclass. You could even introduce some friendly competition when you’re taste testing each other’s creations.

While you want to make sure everyone has fun at the work Christmas party, you also need to ensure things don’t get out of hand. Human Resources Director recently offered some advice, including being clear about what standards of behaviour are expected and making sure you talk to people like grown-ups, rather than being condescending.
