5 Reasons to Book Your Christmas Party Early

Yes, it’s not December yet, but when it comes to planning a show-stopping Christmas party, early birds get the best views, best venues, and best deals. If you’re considering a unique venue, here’s why now is the perfect time to book.

Perfect for corporate or leisure groups, these experiences offer private, after-hours access to some of London’s most iconic attractions. Whether you’re finishing a day of meetings, preparing for dinner elsewhere, or carrying on the evening with us, our pre-dinner experiences ensure your guests feel valued from the very first glass of fizz.

Top Dates Go Quickly

Want that prime Thursday night in early December? So does everyone else. Merlin’s iconic venues, including Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE and The London Dungeon, get snapped up fast, especially for peak nights. The earlier you book, the more choices you’ll have.

More Time to Make It Personal

With extra lead time, you can go beyond the basics. Add live music, bespoke theming, branded cocktails or even character performers. Our venues are packed with personality and our events team is on hand to help you tailor the night to your brand, team or vibe.

Better Budget Control

Booking early means locking in current rates and avoiding the pricing pressures that come with last-minute December availability. You’ll also have more time to stagger payments and keep everything on track financially.

Less Stress, More Sparkle

Let’s be honest, no one wants to be panic-planning a Christmas party while juggling year-end reports. Booking now gives you peace of mind, plenty of prep time, and the chance to actually enjoy the process (and the party).

It Builds Buzz

If your team knows they’re headed to The London Dungeon or dancing the night away at Madame Tussauds, they’re going to get excited. That anticipation becomes part of the fun and makes the whole event feel that much more special.

Ready to Get the Snowball Rolling?
