Christmas Party Venues in the Central Coast Hinterland

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Heading inland for the work Christmas party gives a team room to spread out – bushland, fairways and big function rooms on rural properties at Glenworth Valley, Peats Ridge and Central Mangrove.

The trade-off is scale against cost: a valley events centre built for very large groups, a golf estate with a ballroom and its own restaurant kitchen, and a community golf club with lower room hire.

What each property offers an end-of-year function:

The Valley Events Centre, 69 Cooks Rd, Glenworth Valley – a two-level function building on roughly 3,000 acres of bushland and paddocks, for groups of 10 to more than 500.
Upstairs at the Valley, the Wilderness Room (about 24 by 8 metres) takes up to 250 and opens onto a wide balcony over the valley.
The Springs on Peats Ridge Road – its end-of-year parties come with live music, held in a ballroom built with sandstone walls under exposed timber beams, 180 seated or 250 standing.
Mangrove Mountain Memorial Club on Hallards Road, Central Mangrove – the Anzac Function Room for 150 standing or about 100 seated, From $400 room hire for non-members.
Outdoor activities on the day – Glenworth Valley groups can add horse riding, quad biking, kayaking, abseiling, axe throwing or team challenges.

Golf is the other way to fill the afternoon: golf days at The Springs mix a working session with nine or 18 holes, and the Memorial Club suits corporate golf days beside its own nine-hole course.
