Christmas Parties
Christmas Parties at The HAC
Every year the HAC transforms into a fabulous winter wonderland. The Armoury House and Prince Consort Rooms are decorated with a special theme each festive season to create a fully immersive experience for you and your guests. We have seven beautiful party spaces all with unique character and charm. Amongst the most popular rooms for hire is the Long Room which can accommodate up to 250 guests for a drinks reception and 160 for a round table dinner.
If you're looking for a more intimate Christmas party, the Queens Room, located on the ground floor, can host up to 40 for dinner. Our largest blank canvas space, the Prince Consort Rooms, has a party capacity of 700 and benefits from a private entrance and courtyard.
City of London Location
Situated in the heart of the City of London, our Georgian manor house is just a few minutes' walk from Moorgate and Old Street tube stations. A great location that will give your guests an easy journey home after the festive celebrations.
The Grade II listed building benefits from being set back from the busy City Road so you can be fully transported into festive bliss during the event.
Christmas Party Themes
The HAC is renowned for its amazing theming and in previous years has transformed its spaces into a Winter Wonderland, Victorian Circus, and the land of Narnia (complete with an entrance through a wardrobe!). The themes for our 2024 Christmas party packages are as follows.
Holly Jolly Christmas
Step back to the 18th Century and treat your guests to a Christmas party they won't forget in our Grade II listed Armoury House. The stunning red walls, oak panelling and classic festive decorations are sure to make this your best Christmas yet - Oh, by golly, have a Holly Jolly Christmas this year!
Secret Speakeasy
Travel back in time to experience 1920s prohibition era with our Secret Speakeasy theme in the Prince Consort Rooms. The walls will be adorned with black and gold drapery, the ceiling will sparkle from the dazzling chandeliers, and all that is left is to break all the rules with some bootlegging, dancing the night away avoiding the "law"!
Searcys Christmas Party Catering
Food and drink are a huge part of any Christmas gathering and our caterer, Searcys, takes great time and effort in putting together its Christmas menus. Whatever the occasion and whatever time of year, our in-house chefs source their ingredients as locally as possible from ethically-minded suppliers. Creating menus based on seasonal produce not only keeps their food miles to a minimum but also means each ingredient is at its tastiest when it’s served.
