Planning a Hobart Christmas Party

A work or club Christmas party here can be a long lunch on the waterfront, a pottery class followed by dinner, or a family day out with the team's kids. Choosing the format first makes the venue easier to pick. It also helps you steer clear of the late-December squeeze, when the yacht race arrives and summer visitors fill the city.

Formats that work for an end-of-year party:

The classic dinner: a pub or restaurant with set menus from $40 per person to $67 per person, or a pier-top room from $140 per person for a more formal night.
A hands-on session: a private pottery class at a Goodwood clay studio from $85 per person, followed by a dinner booking reached by coach.
A family day: a Tea Tree wildlife park party from $495 per group suits teams with young children.
Catering at your own site: a wood-fired pizza trailer from $3,080 for a workplace or yard party, with a DJ from $380.
The full takeover: a North Hobart brewery from a $3,500 minimum spend or a Huon Valley cider shed from $2,000 room hire.

Compare rooms on the Christmas party venues page, and line up caterers early if you plan to host on site.

The second half of December is the busiest stretch; late November and the first week of December are much easier to book.
A weekday lunch can unlock rooms that are full on Friday nights.
Teams that can wait until January avoid the pre-Christmas rush, though summer visitors still crowd the waterfront.

Getting the team home

Book a coach or minibus charter for any party outside the city, with the return time agreed in advance.
For a party in town, line up a coach or set taxi pick-ups at the finish so nobody is left waiting.
Name someone to manage the bar tab and the end time, so the night winds down on schedule.

Questions for whoever is organising

Does the package include the room, food and drinks, or is there a separate minimum spend?
Can the DJ or caterer set up before staff arrive, and is there power and cover?
What is the wet-weather plan for a garden or yard party?
Are children welcome, if you are going with a family-day format?

Christmas Parties: Your Questions Answered

What Christmas party ideas suit a team that doesn't want a big night out?

A pottery class, a long lunch or a wildlife park day all give a celebration without a late finish. Weekday lunches are also easier to book in December.

Can a caterer come to our workplace for the end-of-year party?

Yes, mobile caterers such as a wood-fired pizza trailer can set up on site, with packages from $3,080. Check power, space and cover with your building.

How early should we lock in a December function in the city centre?

Book months ahead for a late-December Friday, especially near the waterfront. Late November and early December leave more choice.

What does a DJ cost for an office Christmas party?

Mobile DJs start from $380, and some also MC and bring lighting or a photo booth. Confirm the hours and set-up needs.

Is a Tea Tree family day out possible with the whole team?

A wildlife park at Tea Tree runs group parties from $495 per group. Pair it with lunch and book a coach for the trip out and back.

How do we keep everyone safe getting home from a Christmas party?

Book a coach charter or hired driver for any venue out of town, and arrange taxis or a return coach for venues in town. Agree the finish time with the venue in advance.
