Christmas Party Venues on the Northern Beaches

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

December team functions on the Northern Beaches cluster in Palm Cove, with Trinity Beach and Trinity Park each adding one more option. The choice mostly comes down to team size and whether the group wants a club, a pub or an enclosed function room.

Where a December function fits across the beaches:

Palm Cove for teams in the hundreds: at Surf Club Palm Cove the cooled, private Function Room takes up to 600 around its own bar, and the oceanfront deck can be split in half.
Palm Cove for a pub feel: O'Donnells, an Irish bar and grill, gives its snug bar to parties of up to 50, and the team can arrange music for the night.
Palm Cove, under cover outdoors: Palm Cove Tavern's Alfresco Deck takes a standing team of 120, or 60 at tables, with misting fans for warm days and a big screen.
Trinity Beach for a club setting: Trinity Beach Sports Club spreads functions of up to 150 across four fully catered areas, including a pavilion with its own private bar.
Trinity Park for a closed room: the Lighthouse Room @ The Bluewater sits upstairs above the marina, for 150 standing or 100 seated, from $3,000 minimum spend.

Under 50: the snug bar at O'Donnells, or a seated lunch for up to 35 on Rattle n Hum Palm Cove's pergola deck.
Around 100: the tavern deck, the Lighthouse Room, or the sports club's mix of restaurant, pavilion, lawn and terrace.
Several hundred: the surf club's Function Room (600) and oceanfront deck (500) are the spaces on this list that reach that scale.
A sit-down meal with speeches: the sports club's 5th Quarter Restaurant faces the oval at Crathern Park, and the Trinity Park room comes with microphones and a projector.

Wet-season Christmas planning on the Northern Beaches

December sits in the wet, so for open-air spots such as the Boundary Side Alfresco lawn or the Garden Bar, ask what the indoor fallback is.
Covered options take some of the risk out: the Alfresco Pavilion, the misted tavern deck and the Terrace all have a roof.
Mixed teams need dietary cover; O'Donnells lists vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices, and the other kitchens should be asked directly.
Arrange a coach or booked transfers to get everyone home, as every option here has a bar.
