Christmas Party Venues in Marrickville

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Whether the office break-up is for twenty staff or several hundred, Marrickville has a fit: a warehouse event space, a brewery pub hired whole on weeknights, and a 1936 pub that can close to the public for your team.

On Livingstone Road, Stanley 2204 seats 250 or stands 400 in a 700sqm room with microphone, TV and presentation facilities and Wi-Fi. The Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre at 8-12 Sydney St offers full venue hire Monday to Thursday and on Sunday nights. The Henson at 91 Illawarra Rd gives exclusive use to groups of about 60 to 100.

Choosing for a work crowd:

Whole-company dinner: Stanley 2204's 250 seated, with silver service among the set-ups it offers
Midweek takeover: taking over the whole Bob Hawke gets you the public bar, Lucky Prawn, the pool room, The Patio and the mezzanine
Mid-sized team at the local: The Henson, reserved for your staff alone at around 60 to 100
One department: Lucky Prawn seats 24 to 36 exclusively, or The Henson books tables in one area
Bar arrangements: drink packages or a bar tab at Stanley 2204, a set function menu at The Henson

Stanley 2204 is from $2,000 minimum spend, and Bob Hawke catering begins from $50 per person. For a Christmas date in late November or December, book Monday to Thursday to get the whole Bob Hawke.
