Where Manchester Businesses are Escaping the City for Christmas Parties

Are you working for a company in Manchester and tasked to organise your office Christmas party? If you need ideas on where to host the party, here are the best places to consider in the UK. These places are only a few hours’ drive from Manchester and offer the perfect setting for an enjoyable and fun-filled office party.

  • The Cotswolds 

The Cotswolds are some of the most picturesque areas of the UK and get even prettier during the Christmas season, where you’ll find cute cottages decked with twinkling lights. Only a three-hour drive from Manchester, the Cotswolds would be an ideal choice for your Christmas party.

While it’s possible to come here on a day trip from Manchester, consider staying overnight for your party. You can book some of the lovely country houses in the Cotswolds and have your party there. Look for a property with enough space to accommodate your group.

  • The Scottish Highlands 

Scotland exudes a festive atmosphere in December, making it an ideal place to host Christmas parties. With its subtle charms, you and your colleagues will enjoy your time here. 

Make your party even more enjoyable by staying in one of the castles in Scotland, the perfect place to hold parties for large groups. Exuding grandeur and comfort, the castle hotels have all the amenities you need to organise a fun party. You can have an outdoor party in the garden or in one of its lavish rooms if you prefer an indoor setting.

  • Norfolk 

Lying on the east coast of England, Norfolk is about a four-hour drive from Manchester and a great place to celebrate Christmas with colleagues. Although it’s more famous for its beaches, Norfolk is also home to pretty market towns and villages that look even more magical during Christmas.

What’s great about hosting your Christmas party in Norfolk is you’ll find many great party houses here. You can continue your celebration at cosy pubs for a more exciting work Christmas party.

  • The Yorkshire Dales

The stunning Yorkshire Dales is another fantastic option for your work Christmas party. It has loads of pretty villages and offers many fun things to do in winter. 

You will find a variety of accommodations in Yorkshire Dales, giving you plenty of options to host your party. If you want something unique, you can have it on a glamping site, surrounded by stunning views. After your party, you can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking.

  • Snowdonia 

Snowdonia hosts plenty of Christmas parties and events, making it an ideal place to escape Manchester for work Christmas parties. Winter in Snowdonia is enchanting, making your event even more special. It has spectacular scenery with several miles of rugged coastline, majestic mountain ranges, and festive forests. 

After your party, you can bond with colleagues at one of the many welcoming pubs of Snowdonia. For a more memorable experience, enjoy stargazing across Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.
