Christmas Parties Are Dead. Long Live the Christmas Offsite.

Out with awkward dinners. In with energising team retreats. We design end-of-year experiences with meaning, joy, and full-service delivery.

Why teams are ditching the traditional party for Christmas offsites

Old model: Too many drinks, forced fun, ticking a box, minimal return.

New model: Time together with purpose, energy, planning, and celebration built in.

What’s changed

• Hybrid work makes gathering harder (and more valuable)

• Younger employees want more connection, less alcohol

• HR teams are responding to the new Worker Protection Act

• Teams are increasingly expecting two big gatherings a year- and year-end is prime time

What a Christmas offsite looks like

Every retreat is designed for your team’s culture, rhythm, and goals.

• Morning team sessions to reflect, align, and future-focus

• Immersive team building experiences (think: Murder at Hill House, The Tea Heist)

• Elevated evening dinners with warmth, music, and connection

• Optional festive parties- designed with sensitivity and style

• Logistics, travel, food, and accommodation- fully handled

Where it happens

We host Elsewhere Christmas offsites at a curated set of venues across the UK, including:

• 9 Adam Street – Exclusive, atmospheric, and Central London ready

• Hill House - Our flagship Tudor Manor House for full takeover potential

• The Amersham Campus – All-in-one strategy and celebration campus

• The Olde Bell – Fireside charm and barn-style dining for 80+

We’re not an agent. We run the retreats- end to end.

The world’s most forward-thinking companies are leaving the old Christmas party behind.

They’re choosing strategic, full-service offsites that align people and celebrate progress.

Clients keep coming back. That tells you everything.

Ready to make the switch?

We only take on a limited number of Christmas Offsites each year.

Now’s the time to book for November and December 2025.

It’s time to stop throwing parties that don’t work.

Start hosting retreats that actually move your team forward.
