Christmas Party Activities in Oxford
Famous for its university and ‘dreaming spires’, Oxford is steeped in history and makes a truly picturesque location for an amazing Christmas party. With elegant honey-coloured buildings and narrow cobbled streets, it’s more than just a place for swotting up on books. The large, young student population is outnumbered by the working folk of the city, and there are attractions to suit all tastes. Your Christmas party in Oxford can be whatever you make it.
The historic centre is packed with impressive sights, as well as independent shops and the famous Covered Market, where you’ll find everything from pies to quirky fashions. The arty part of town is Jericho in the northwest with its stylish bars and cinema. Whatever vibe you’re after for your Oxford Christmas party, Fizzbox are here to help with a huge range of festive parties and activities that’ll make sure your whole group has a day or night they’ll never forget.
Make the festive season even more special with a Christmas party in Oxford. This is a seriously pretty city, affectionately known as the city of Dreaming Spires. The River Thames runs through Oxford before hitting the big smoke, and provides a scenic focal point for riverside walks and punting or rowing on the river. At Christmas time, the river is especially scenic, when there’s a chill in the air and the festive lights sparkle on the water. There are plenty of beautiful green spaces in Oxford, and pretty gardens and parks run alongside the river. These are perfect for a wintry walk before or after your Christmas party.
A healthy nightclub scene has a soundtrack of everything from pop to RnB, dancehall and hip-hop. The comedy circuit is thriving too, along with live gigs by bands playing electronica, metal and everything in between. East Oxford is a lively and colourful area that is home to the O2 Academy, which hosts big-name acts. Summertown is an upmarket area with classy bars and restaurants.
To make things even more magical, this city looks like it’s come from a fantasy novel or taken a leaf out of Harry Potter’s or Disney’s book. It even hosts an annual Alice Day where everyone celebrates the Lewis Carroll book with a range of parades, theatre performances, tea parties and games of croquet. Head to Oxford for your Christmas party and you’ll be well placed to enjoy some top class dining and entertainment, all in a brilliant setting, making for an unforgettable festive bonding experience.
Office Christmas Parties in Oxford
Give your hard-working employees a break from the office with a fun Christmas party or activity that they’ll all love. Organising something special for the festive season is a great way to show your team appreciation for their loyalty and hard work throughout the year.
It’s the perfect opportunity to let loose, celebrate achievements and boost team morale. Plus, who doesn’t love a good party? With delicious food, drinks and maybe even a bit of dancing, it’s a great way to end the year on a high note. Investing in a Christmas party not only creates memorable experiences but also shows your team that they’re valued and important to the business.
Getting your team together outside the office will give them a chance to chat, laugh and bond as they let their hair down and get to know each other better. And you’re sure to reap the benefits once you’re back in the workplace with a happier and more productive team. It’s a win win situation!
