Christmas Party Venues in Flinders

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year parties in Flinders can head to Cook Street, where the Peninsula Room @ Flinders Hotel is set up for a work crowd. It is a separate function room with its own bar, AV and soundproofing, screened off from the bistro and sports bar.

A team of 15 can take one section of the room, while a whole company can fill it to 200 standing.

Why a team Christmas suits this room:

Sized to the staff list – sections suit around 15 to 20 or 30 to 40, and the full room takes 120 at tables.
A few words from the boss – presentation facilities and wifi are in the room for the year-in-review slides.
A long table lunch – choose two courses or three from the set menu, with meat-free and low-gluten plates for anyone who needs them.
A stand-up afternoon – canapés start from $40 per person, passed around while colleagues mix at the bar.
Drinks on the company or not – choose a bar tab, a beverage package or pay-as-you-go.

Flinders Hotel lists Christmas functions and corporate retreats among its regular events. Ask about December dates by sending an enquiry.

Matching the length of the party: beverage packages come in two-, three- and four-hour versions, at Standard, Premium or Deluxe level.
Something festive on arrival: a welcome cocktail, or a spirits upgrade on the package, can be added.
A mixed office: the set menus already include vegetarian, vegan and low-gluten choices.
A Friday wind-down: the platter buffet lunch suits an afternoon break-up rather than a full dinner.

Room layouts for a work function

Banquet: seated tables for up to 120, suited to a night with presentations or speeches.
Cocktail: up to 200 standing, with the private bar as the gathering point.
Meeting first, party after: theatre, classroom, boardroom and U-shape layouts let a planning session run before the celebrations.
Comfort through a long afternoon: natural light and soundproofed walls keep the room pleasant and private.
