Eventa Announce New London Christmas Party Packages For 2011

BRIGHTON, SUSSEX -- Eventa, co-ordinators of Christmas parties for groups and organisations in the UK, have announced that a number of new London Christmas parties have been made live on their website with the distinct aim of appealing to larger groups with higher budgets looking for more extravagant elements such as theming and entertainment. A common trend throughout the packages that gives them their elevated status above other Christmas parties in London is the choice of venue. Events will this year be held in places including the 'Gherkin', the wax museum Madame Tussauds, the Natural History Museum and the exclusive 42-acre Hurlingham Club. Eventa CEO Rob Hill explains that the choice behind listing these parties was in response to slowly increasing company budgets after several years of frugality.

"During the recession companies weren't keen on spending outside of the absolutely necessary. Salaries were capped, bonuses (for the most part) cut and ancilliary spend on office events, such as Christmas parties, was practically stopped. If employees wanted a Christmas party they'd have to fund it themselves. Now however we are starting to see budget constraints loosening a little and bosses keen to say thank you to their employees with a bumper Christmas party. In many cases people don't want something ordinary; they want bigger and better."

A series of events will take place at the top of the 130m 'Gherkin' building, home to reinsurers Swiss Re. Usually off-limits to the general public, Eventa have entered into a partnership with one of London's leading Christmas party suppliers to open the space exclusively for this run of events. A variety of evenings will be taking place, from cocktail and canape receptions to seated dinner with vintage wines included. The space will be able to accomodate up to 100 guests. 

Amongst other the other new Christmas parties 2011 Eventa have made live on their website are events being held in Blackburn, Chester, Gloucester and Luton and these are being offered across the pricing spectrum.
