The evening begins with a welcome drink of Prosecco or sparkling elderflower, followed by a three-course festive dinner with tea, coffee, and mince pies.

Tips & Advice

  • Reserve your places early, because there are only two Christmas Party Nights this season and availability on both dates is limited.
  • Dress in smart or festive cocktail attire, which is what guests are encouraged to wear for both Christmas Party Nights in the Old Palace.
  • Tell the team about any vegetarian, vegan or other dietary needs when you confirm your booking so the set menu can cover them.
  • Order a drinks package for your table to help plan the evening, or buy drinks on the night at additional cost.
  • Arrive by train if your group would rather not drive, since the venue is a five-minute walk from Hatfield station.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Drinks packages can be ordered at extra cost: a bucket of 10 beers, a bucket of 5 beers and 5 ciders, or a trio of wine.
