Christmas Party Venues in Epping

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Office teams in the northern suburbs have two very different end-of-year options on Epping's side streets. One is a brewpub with its own brewery and distillery behind the bar; the other is a family-run reception centre whose ballroom regularly hosts corporate Christmas parties and presentation nights.

Small teams can take over a corner of the pub for a relaxed shout, and larger businesses can book a seated dinner with a stage for the year's thank-yous.

Picking between the two for a team function:

Republic Tavern, 250 Cooper Street – the Sun Room takes 100 standing or 45 seated
The tavern's Cellar seats 16 for a leadership-team dinner among the stills
The Grande Reception, 6-8 Helm Court – a ballroom for 100 to 400 guests
Packages at the Helm Court venue start from $70 per person, with a bar tab or drinks package added
More than 100 secure car spaces at The Grande Reception for staff who drive

Teams wanting craft beer and a looser format lean to the tavern; companies with presentations, speeches and a sit-down meal suit the ballroom.

The Grande Reception's elevated stage and AV support speeches and presentations
A spacious foyer at the reception centre holds pre-dinner drinks and canapés
Republic Tavern pours house small-batch beers alongside guest craft taps and ciders
Whole-venue hire of the tavern suits a bigger team that wants the pub to itself
