Christmas Party Venues in Gungahlin

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Gungahlin's end-of-year options are three relaxed venues in three suburbs, none of them a formal function centre. The deciding factor is whether staff want a private bar, an outdoor area or a sit-down feast.

Three ways to run a Gungahlin work party:

Palmers, Gungahlin Town Centre: Outside Dining seats 80 to 90 with gas and portable heaters, and the function buffet of two mains and two sides starts from $35 per person.
Casey Jones, Casey: the upstairs Platform Bar holds 60 standing with a private bar and bathroom, and the indoor deck takes 40.
The District, Crace: functions start at about 20 guests, from $50 per person, with shared sit-down feasts or standing tapas.
Drinks can run on a set bar tab at each venue; Palmers also does packages and Casey Jones adds cocktail jugs and a slushie machine.
At The District, a group of 30-plus that takes over a whole area agrees a minimum bar tab or pays a small hire fee.

Over 60 people points to Palmers, where Outside Dining stretches to around 150 with standing room.
A closed-off party with its own bar fits the Platform Bar at Casey Jones.
A team that wants to sit down together at long timber tables suits The District.
The Beer Garden at Palmers holds 40 to 50 on high and low seating for a smaller drinks.

Food styles for a Gungahlin end-of-year

Palmers' buffet mains include beef ragu, gnocchi, pork belly or herbed chicken, or a spread by the tray of sliders, skewers and pizzas.
Casey Jones' function platters run from wings and popcorn chicken to pavlova and tiramisu.
The District's feasts bring entrées, pizzas, pastas, schnitzels and calamari to the table.
The District also lets big groups order off the regular menu and pay as they go, without a package.
