A Christmas party in a riverside hall booked just for you. Everyone in one room, no overflow sitting.
An hour before doors the room is quiet: chairs lined up, glasses ready, the river dark outside. Then everyone arrives at once, someone finds the playlist, and the night is underway. There are six Fridays and Saturdays like that in December 2026, and each one is for a single company.
Both come with the AV and the same team. Choose by how many people you are bringing.
Big enough for the company and plus-ones. Dinner, a few speeches, then the dance floor still going after midnight.
Right for a department, an agency, or a team that has outgrown the usual restaurant booking.
You know the Christmas party where a third of the company watches speeches on a screen in the next room. Here the whole guest list is on one floor, so the toast happens once, to the people it was meant for.
Screens, sound and the crew who run them are already here and come with the day. Run the Christmas quiz, hand out the awards, give marketing their slot on stage. You do not need to hire kit in.
Bring an approved caterer and serve food people will actually eat. South Asian, African, Caribbean, or a classic three courses and wine if that is the year you are having. You set the menu; the room works around it.
Two hundred people in coats at midnight, all refreshing the same taxi app, is a miserable way to finish. Barking Riverside is 42 minutes from Fenchurch Street on the Overground, the car park outside is free, and the A13 is close. Most people leave from a platform, not a pavement.
One company gets the hall for the night. These three options are starting points; we shape the rest around your guest list.

Yes. That is how we hire it. One company per hall, per night. We do not run shared Christmas parties and we do not sell individual seats, so you are never sharing a room with another company.
Arcadia Ballroom: 350 standing or 330 seated for dinner. Castle Green Hall: 606 standing or 230 seated. Layout-by-layout figures are on each venue page.
The in-house AV rig (LED screens, sound system, AV room and equipment), plus tables, chairs, house linen, setup, breakdown and 50+ free parking spaces. Food and drink are arranged with your approved caterer.
Yes, from our approved list. South Asian, African and Caribbean caterers are on it alongside more traditional Christmas menus. Tell us what you want people eating and we will match you.
It is 42 minutes from Fenchurch Street on the Overground and about 22 minutes by car from central London, with 50+ free spaces outside and the A13 nearby. For a lot of guest lists that is a shorter door-to-door than a West End venue on a Friday in December.
December 2026 has six party-season Fridays and Saturdays, and midweek nights work the same way. Send us a date and we will tell you the same day whether it is still open.
The inclusions are listed on this page. The price depends on your hall, date and headcount, and we come back with it the same working day you ask.
Tell us the date, roughly how many people, and whether you want seated dinner or standing. We reply the same working day with what is still free and a price.
Your floor plans are unlocked on this page, ready to download.
We respond the same working day.
