Planning a Southern Highlands Christmas Party

Highlands Christmas parties run in two seasons. December brings long light evenings and garden drinks, and July brings the cold, the fires and the Christmas-in-July lunches the region is known for.

Most rooms for work and family groups sit around Bowral and Moss Vale, close to golf courses, hotels and somewhere to stay.

Ways to run an end-of-year party here:

  • A golf clubhouse dining room in Bowral for 100 or more standing, with a board room for a smaller team dinner
  • A 1930s Moss Vale guesthouse whose pair of rooms seat up to 80, looking out over the fairways
  • A boutique Bowral hotel with private dining for 12 to 40, from $95 per person
  • A heritage estate hotel ballroom in Bowral for groups up to 140
  • A private paint party in a Bowral studio for teams of ten or more who would rather do something than sit
  • A winery day by private coach from $144 per person, with tastings and platters on board

More rooms are on Christmas party venues, and the corporate event page covers conferences and retreats.

December or July

  • December dates start going in winter, so hold the room by the middle of the year
  • Christmas in July suits the Highlands, with roast menus, open fires and frost on the lawns
  • July falls in quieter weeks for many venues, so ask whether midweek rates are lower
  • Early summer evenings stay light late, which suits drinks on a terrace before dinner

Entertainment for a work crowd

  • A DJ from $220 per hour, or one who MCs and brings a photo booth from $900
  • A drag host who runs bingo and MCs, from $650, gets a mixed team laughing
  • Acoustic guitar and vocals from $700 suit a dinner where people want to talk
  • A gelato trike from $1,264 turns dessert into part of the evening

Transport and rooms

  • Chauffeured cars start at $300, and coaches collect staff from several villages
  • A room block in Bowral or Moss Vale lets out-of-town staff stay over
  • Late taxis are hard to find in the villages, so set the ride home before the night begins

Christmas Parties: Your Questions Answered

How early should a Southern Highlands Christmas party be booked?

For a Friday in early December, aim for midyear. Christmas-in-July dates fill from autumn, especially Saturdays at hotels with open fires.

Is Christmas in July a real thing in the Southern Highlands?

Very much so. Cold, sometimes frosty July days suit roast lunches and mulled drinks, and many hotels and guesthouses put on set menus for it.

What does a Christmas dinner at a Bowral boutique hotel cost?

Private dining in a boutique Bowral hotel starts at $95 per person for 12 to 40 guests. Clubhouse and estate rooms quote by package.

Which Highlands rooms suit a work Christmas party of around 100?

A Bowral golf clubhouse takes 100 or more standing, a heritage estate ballroom in Bowral seats up to 140, and a Moss Vale guesthouse fits 80.

Can a Highlands Christmas party include an activity?

Yes. A Bowral studio runs private paint parties for ten or more, and private winery days by coach start at $144 per person.
