When to book a Christmas party in Preston

Book a Christmas party in Preston as soon as you have a date and rough numbers, and ideally well before December starts. There are only a handful of Fridays and Saturdays in December, and at Baluga that is when Christmas party nights run.

Christmas party Preston: a booking timeline

  • As soon as you can: agree who is coming and what the budget is
  • Next: offer the group two or three Friday or Saturday dates
  • Then: book, and pay or put down any deposit straight away
  • A month before: send the date, time, dress code and ID rules
  • The week before: confirm final numbers and dietary needs
  • On the day: bring your ID and arrive on time

Why the weekends go first

Most people want their Christmas party on a Friday or Saturday so nobody has work the next morning. December only has four or five of each, and every office, team and group of friends is aiming for the same nights. If you leave it until December, you are choosing from whatever is left.

Christmas party nights at Baluga run on Fridays and Saturdays in December. See the Christmas party nights page for what is on.

Big groups: private rooms

If your group is large, a private room is worth asking about early, because each room can only be booked once a night. The options:

  • Le Fleur: private bar, plush pinks and blues, up to 50
  • The VIP Room: own bar and sound system, up to 70
  • The Baluga Club: full club takeover with DJ, up to 250
  • Full venue takeover: up to 500

Bar team, waitress service and security are included. The planner usually replies the same day, and the quote depends on date, numbers, food and drink.

Small groups: brunch first

For a group of friends rather than a whole office, a bottomless brunch can be the Christmas get-together. It is £39 per person with food for 90 minutes of bottomless cocktails, prosecco and Peroni, on Saturdays at 4pm or late Fridays from 7pm. Book up to 12 online on the bottomless brunch page.
