Make It Festive, Your Way
We don’t offer set “Christmas party packages.” Instead, you get the freedom to make your celebration truly yours. Whether that means a classic Christmas office do with fizz, beer, and Secret Santa, a team dinner catered by your favourite local supplier, a fundraising Christmas event with mulled wine and fairy-lit cheer, or just a night with friends to raise a glass to the end of the year.
Whatever you’re planning, our venue for hire — the Fonthill function room in Tunbridge Wells — has charm to spare: once an 1800s stable block, now a warm and festive hideaway, and the perfect place to celebrate a small Christmas party.
