What is a Christmas theme?

Christmas is the biggest night of the year for many teams. Festive acts make it feel like an occasion: LED and gold nutcrackers at the door, festive living statues, champagne walkers and stilt walkers.

Combine Christmas with another theme (Christmas in Paris, a Gatsby Christmas or a Winter Wonderland) for something different from last year.

Where it works best

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Mix the themes

    Christmas in Paris and a Gatsby Christmas are two of the most popular combinations.

  2. 2

    Think about the door

    Nutcrackers at the entrance are the photo every guest takes.

  3. 3

    Hold dates now

    Late November and December weekends are booked first. Midweek dates have more choice.

Frequently asked questions

Which venues near Reading can hold a large Asian wedding?

On our list, Easthampstead Park Hotel (up to 480 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan Christmas entertainment around the space.

Do venues around Reading have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Reading do you cover?

All of RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG7, RG30 and RG31, including Burghfield Common, Spencers Wood, Theale, Mortimer, Wokingham and Shinfield, plus the rest of Berkshire and nearby Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham, Goring and Bracknell.

How far ahead should we book Christmas party entertainment?

Ideally by the summer. Early December weekends are the first to go, and midweek dates give you more choice of acts.

Can you work with our venue's Christmas package?

Yes. Most venues welcome entertainment. We agree access, timings and space with the venue before the day.
