The Barbican, in collaboration with its catering partner Searcys, invites event planners to celebrate the festive season in its iconic Conservatory, a tropical garden in the heart of London. With over 1,500 species of exotic plants, the venue offers a truly distinctive setting for corporate and association Christmas parties.
The Christmas packages are designed to deliver an exceptional experience, combining stunning surroundings, exquisite dining, and outstanding service. Packages start at £146 + VAT per person for a minimum of 150 guests, offering a seamless blend of festive cheer and culinary excellence. Guests are welcomed with cocktails on arrival and can enjoy a selection of canapés, gourmet food stations, and mini dessert bowls, all accompanied by three hours of unlimited Prosecco, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks.
For those looking for a more formal dining experience, the £199 + VAT per person package, with a minimum of 100 guests, includes a two-course festive menu with a dessert buffet and half a bottle of wine per person. After dinner, guests can dance the night away with a DJ in the adjacent Garden Room.
The Barbican and Searcys teams work collaboratively to ensure every event is flawlessly executed, from menu design to service. With bespoke enhancements available, such as Champagne upgrades and additional entertainment options, the Barbican provides the flexibility to tailor each event to individual requirements.
