Private Christmas Party Hire in Bournemouth
If you want the night to be all about your group, hire a room. Canvas takes private festive bookings across all three of our rooms, so you can pick the space that suits your numbers, from a small team get-together to a full venue takeover.
The Live Lounge
Our main room, with a stage, a full touring-spec PA, a Yamaha M7 desk and a professional lighting rig. Made for big work parties with a DJ or band, and anything that needs to be loud.
The Balcony Bar
Its own bar, looking down over the Live Lounge. A great fit for festive drinks receptions, mid-sized team parties and December birthdays.
The Green Room
Our small speakeasy-style room. Ideal for smaller teams, private drinks and festive get-togethers with a more intimate feel.
Extra tables, chairs, screens and projectors are available, and we can talk you through buffet and canapé options when you enquire. For more on each space, see our private hire page.
December dates go quickly, and some are already booked for private events. If you have a date in mind, get in touch with your numbers and plans as early as you can.
Christmas Party Nights in Bournemouth You Can Book Tickets For
Not every group needs a private room. If you’d rather join a party that’s already planned, here’s what’s on at Canvas in December. Full details and tickets are on our What’s On page.
Christmas Party Ideas for Every Group
Every group is different, so here are a few ways to do Christmas at Canvas.
Work Christmas parties. Hire a room for the whole team and make it your own, with a DJ or band in the Live Lounge or drinks and canapés in the Balcony Bar. If you’d rather keep it simple, book Saturday Night Comedy as a group and stay on as the room turns over for the club night.
Christmas nights out with friends. Feel Free Fridays and the House of the South x Glitterati Christmas Party are made for a big December night out. Book early: on Feel Free Fridays, the advance pass is always the cheapest.
Festive team socials. The Biggest Fattest Canvas Quiz of the Year on Sunday 6 December is an easy, low-cost team night at £3 a player, with prizes up for grabs.
December birthdays. A birthday this close to Christmas deserves its own party. The Balcony Bar is ideal for birthday drinks, and our birthday party venue page has more ideas.
Bespoke Christmas events. If you want something completely tailored, Glitterati Party can help plan an event around your budget, with food, music and entertainment.
Promoters. Want to put on your own Christmas night? Canvas is available for dry hire with our PA and house lighting, your own door and your own promotion.
How to Plan a Christmas Party in Bournemouth
A great Christmas party is mostly down to a bit of early planning. Here’s a simple checklist.
- Pick your date early. December weekends tend to book up first, so have a first choice and a back-up date ready.
- Get a rough headcount. Your numbers decide your room: the Green Room for up to 45, the Balcony Bar for up to 125 and the Live Lounge for up to 250.
- Set your budget. Decide what’s included, such as a welcome drink, food or a bar tab, before you enquire.
- Sort the food. Ask about buffet and canapé options so nobody is dancing on an empty stomach.
- Choose your entertainment. A DJ, a live band, comedy or a quiz. The Live Lounge stage and PA can handle all of it.
- Plan the journey home. December nights are busy in town, so book taxis in advance or arrange lifts.
- Remind everyone to bring ID. Canvas is over 18s unless an event says otherwise, and photo ID is required.
