Build Your Own Christmas party at RIBA at 66 Portland Place
It’s never too early to start planning a Christmas party, especially this year. With most parties cancelled in 2021 due to the pandemic, we’re ready for this festive season to be bigger and better than ever! Our popular ‘Build your Own’ Christmas party package is back for 2021 and fully customisable to match your taste, budget, and requirements.
In the last few years, we’ve noticed a reluctance to opt for fully themed packages in favour of a more bespoke celebration, however we know how daunting starting from scratch can be especially when time is not on your side. The premise of our ‘Build Your Own’ experience – a subtle nod to our architectural roots – is to offer multiple F&B options at different price points, as well as a choice of three architecturally stunning event spaces to suit parties of all sizes. With this taken care of, it gives you more time to be creative with bespoke theming and entertainment!
If you are ready to get the annual Christmas party back in the diary, contact our team by emailing venues@riba.org to find out more and secure your preferred date.
