Yes indeed, and one of the most incredible venues we offer for a corporate Christmas party. It all happens at the Tournament Feast, held in the castle's Great Hall, which was originally constructed by William the Conqueror in 1068 and has survived since then. The evening starts with a three-course festive feast and is followed by live entertainment based on Warwick Castle's history of jousting. The ambience provided is, literally, impossible to recreate in purpose-built party venues; you can have up to 120 people there, paying £95 per person. Quite a small number for corporate events – but if you're considering giving your colleagues an amazing Christmas dinner which will be remembered forever, this is an experience that cannot be easily matched. The venue is just eight miles from Coventry.
NEC is located only 10 miles from Coventry on the A45, making it a truly viable venue choice for Coventry and Warwickshire-based companies looking for something beyond the scope of their city centre. Moroccan Fire Nights can host up to 2,200 people – the highest venue capacity of any event we list nationwide – complete with immersive theming, spectacular entertainment, and production befitting a venue considered one of Europe’s foremost events destinations. For larger corporate groups who’ve outgrown the confines of a hotel ballroom, NEC provides a scale that can’t be replicated elsewhere in the country.
It really depends on where your team is geographically situated. If your guests hail mostly from Coventry, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Village Hotel and Heart of England Conference and Events Centre become your immediate options. If your team is spread out all over Warwickshire – that is, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Warwick, Rugby – then Chesford Grange, IXL Events Centre and venues surrounding Stratford upon Avon will reduce your team's travel distance greatly. For those whose guests reside mostly in the vicinity of Birmingham Airport and NEC, your choice should be made between Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport NEC and National Motorcycle Museum. For places to which everyone travels as an event per se, and which make traveling part of the experience, then Warwick Castle, Drayton Manor Resort and Walton Hall Hotel & Spa near Stratford become the destinations worth traveling too.
The spectrum for this one is one of the largest. From the affordable side, Village Hotel Coventry starts at £30 per individual, Drayton Manor Resort at £33.95, Windmill Village Hotel Golf Club & Spa at £38, Masquerade Ball at Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport NEC at £38, Stratford Manor Hotel at £45, and Chesford Grange at £50. DoubleTree by Hilton Coventry at £55, National Motorcycle Museum at £59.95, Clarion Charlecote Pheasant at £48.95, and Walton Hall Hotel & Spa at £49. IXL Events Centre Southam Masquerade Ball at £90, Warwick Castle at £95, and NEC Moroccan Fire Nights at £65. Exclusive themed productions — Carnival of Colour, Hollywood Oscars, Las Vegas, Chocolate Factory, Venetian Masquerade Ball, Candy Cane, and Showman's Greatest — start from £75 per individual.
It certainly does in a rather unique way, with Warwick Castle being that particular attraction. Apart from that, the city's history of cars and rebirth does not find any representation in the party scene unlike, for example, the musical past of Liverpool and the football roots of Sheffield. But what Coventry contributes to the party scene is a certain mentality of no pretence – a city that has been destroyed during the Blitz and built anew will not accept any pretentiousness from anything. It produces a party scene that is oriented on quality and variety rather than prestige alone, and is manifested in the largest price range of any other place on our list.
Warwick Castle is essential – as there is limited availability of 120 guests per night at this venue and being listed brings in clients from the wider Midlands region, the most sought after December dates tend to be booked out very fast. If you are considering this venue, then make sure that you book in advance from the summer months. The Ho Ho Ho-Down at Heart of England Conference and Events Centre and the Masquerade Ball at IXL Events Centre are also corporate repeat booking events and worth an enquiry from now. As far as hotel hosted joint nights in the wider region – DoubleTree Coventry, Chesford Grange, Stratford Manor Hotel, Windmill Village Hotel – then aim for September.
Very good, and available throughout the larger radius. The venues including Warwick Castle, Walton Hall Hotel & Spa, Staverton Park Daventry and Drayton Manor Resort all accommodate as few as one person – making it possible to make a true party experience for even the smallest groups. DoubleTree by Hilton Coventry (from one), Windmill Village Hotel (from two) and Village Hotel Coventry (from two) include the venues in the city centre. For a more interactive choice Star Pins West Orchards starts accepting from 10 people and adds bowling and games into the program. Leonardo Hotel Hinckley Island is another venue that accommodates from two for its Roaring 20s style dinner program. The venues including Chesford Grange and Clarion Charlecote Pheasant accept from 10 people each, the latter being a more charming small-group choice due to its Stratford-upon-Avon location.
The range of themed productions offered here goes a little further compared to other areas that are of similar size. Currently available in and around Coventry for 2026: Carnival of Colour Rio, Hollywood Oscars, Las Vegas Theme Party, and Chocolate Factory – all for groups of up to 1,000 people. In Rugby: Venetian Masquerade Ball and Candy Cane Christmas Party. In Nuneaton: Carnival of Colour Rio and Showman's Greatest. Ho Ho Ho-Down Cowboy Christmas Party is a special themed production that takes place at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre. And at the IXL Events Centre there is a Venetian-inspired Masquerade Ball in Southam. While Warwick Castle offers one of the most themed Christmas parties in the form of the Tournament Feast.
A shared party night has you in the midst of festive fun without the expense of exclusive hire, with the costs of hiring the venue, the entertainment, and the catering spread among all the celebrators on the night. The shared offering in this area is broader than most would think, ranging from city centre hotels' ballrooms all the way to an event centre purpose-built and a real-life cowboy hoedown in the Warwickshire countryside.
One of the most characterful shared nights of this area is the Ho Ho Ho-Down Cowboy Christmas Party run by the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre, which is a Western-themed event for groups of 8 to 600 with cowboy entertainment, a Christmas dinner, and a late-night dance floor, from £85 per person. The IXL Events Centre in Southam holds the Masquerade Ball, which is one of the larger shared party venues in the Warwickshire area, providing for groups of 10 to 710 from £90 per person. The DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Coventry provides for groups of 1 to 400 from £55 per person, while the Village Hotel in Coventry provides a great shared format for groups of 2 to 180 from £30 per person.
Beyond the borders of Coventry but certainly within range is the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, which provides shared party nights for groups of 10 to 600 from £59.95 – a place where classic motorcycles decorate the halls and each pair of guests is guaranteed to have unique conversations. The Chesford Grange in Kenilworth, the Staverton Park in Daventry, and the Clarion Charlecote Pheasant in Stratford are also good examples of well-run shared party nights.
By booking an exclusive event, you make it all about your party. You get the venue, you have control over your guest list, and everything about the event revolves around your idea. In a region as rich with venues and as diverse in its choice of venues as this one, there are strong reasons to choose exclusivity.
There is no denying that Warwick Castle stands out in terms of exclusivity. An exclusive Christmas party at Warwick Castle in a Tournament Feast in the Great Hall of the 11th century castle complete with live entertainment related to the medieval heritage of the castle, a three course meal, and an atmosphere that cannot be recreated anywhere else on earth takes care of groups of one up to 120 from £95 per head. There are few exclusive Christmas party venues as unique as Warwick Castle in the whole country; however, what is surprising is how close Warwick Castle is to Coventry.
The Heart of England Conference and Events Centre provides exclusive Christmas parties for groups of one to 600 while the Moroccan Fire Nights Production at the NEC caters to groups of 2,200 for the grandest of all exclusive Christmas parties. The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Coventry offers the traditional hotel exclusive Christmas party venue for 400.
Carnival of Colour Rio, Hollywood Oscars, Las Vegas Theme Party, Chocolate Factory, Venetian Masquerade Ball in Rugby, Candy Cane in Rugby, Showman's Greatest in Nuneaton, and Carnival of Colour in Nuneaton are some of the exclusive themed Christmas parties available in Coventry for 1,000 people.
