Christmas Party Venues in the Huon Valley

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Staff end-of-year parties out in the Huon Valley can head to Grove, where Willie Smith's Apple Shed takes whole-company groups in a converted apple packing shed. Your team has the building, deck and lawn to itself for the night.

It suits an employer who wants to take staff out of the city for a proper end-of-year celebration.

How the valley's cider shed handles an office party:

Room hire is from $2,000 room hire for exclusive evening use, with staff, cleaning and furniture covered.
Numbers run to 140 for a seated dinner or 200 for a cocktail-style night.
A sound system and cordless microphone are built in, so the year-end speech needs no extra gear.
DJs and bands are welcome, and tables can make way for dancing later in the night.
The bar's ciders and apple spirits come from the family's orchards, alongside Tasmanian beer and wine.

Doors open to guests at 6pm, last drinks are poured at 11pm and the shed empties by 11:45pm, so build the night around that window.
Choose canapés and grazing tables for a mingling crowd, or a two- or three-course seated dinner for a more formal night.
Ask about a bar tab to cap the company's drinks spend.
A non-alcoholic cider is on the bar for staff who aren't drinking.

Getting staff to and from the Huon Valley

Hire a coach for the whole team, so no one has to drive after the bar has been open all evening.
Agree the pick-up time with the coach company in advance, matched to the 11:45pm close.
Lock in the head count before choosing between the seated and standing layouts.
The deck and lawn are part of the hire, useful for welcome drinks on a warm evening.
