Christmas Party Perth

Picking a part of Perth for the party

• The CBD and Northbridge suit office crowds, with rooftop bars, pubs and function spaces close to the workplace and to public transport.
• The inner south and Burswood offer riverside rooms that can take large staff numbers.
• Fremantle works for a relaxed afternoon in a heritage pub or a waterside bar.
• The Swan Valley suits a long lunch, but book buses so nobody is left sorting their own way home.
• Mandurah has pubs and canal boat hire for groups based down the coast.

December conditions in Perth

• Expect hot days and a strong afternoon sea breeze, so outdoor decks need shade and may cool off quickly near the coast.
• Keep water on hand for any outdoor activity and avoid the middle of the day for active outings.
• Friday nights late in the year are the hardest dates to secure, so a Thursday or a lunch can open up more choice.
• Boat plans depend on the wind, so ask how the operator decides on the day.

Details worth settling in advance

• Confirm whether the space is private or shared with other groups on the same night.
• Ask what the per-person package covers and how long the food and drinks service runs.
• If you plan a bar tab, agree a limit and how the venue will tell you when it is close.
• Check dietary options for the whole group, not just the headline menu.
• Ask for final-number deadlines and what happens to the bill if fewer people turn up.
