Staff christmas night out ideas

[Ol]

i know, i know - it's July... too early to talk about xmas etc!! so if talking about christmas in july offends you, then this thread probably isn't for you....

Last year I didn't organise our christmas staff night out until mid November, and all we ended up doing was a Pub crawl round Leeds city centre followed by a (very expensive) trip to Silks. I have aprox 50 members of staff coming - nearly all of which are security guards (so blokes) and wanting to do somthing a bit different this year. It's been suggested that we just Hire a room in a restaurant somewhere with a buffet and a free bar for a couple of hours, but i think that's a bit too unimaginative!!

thought about booking a comedian or some sort of entertainment??

Any ideas??

Imaginative....

Book some time at Manchester Airkix? £30 will buy 3 minutes of tunnel time each and with 50 people you can negotiate downwards.

You'll watch each other bounce off the walls like a washing machine (EVERYBODY bounces off the walls first time) and get a DVD to laugh at each other.

Then go to trafford centre for a few beers and such.

If in Leeds some hospitality package at Leeds Carnegie?

Not really night out though. Probably best avoid the likes of the New Penny bar (or not as the case may be)

Hire a coach and go to the greyhound racing We had a works christmas do there last year and it was a very good night. Decent food, decent beer and won a few quid as well

Years ago I worked for a company that had its chrimbo do in Warwick Castle, as a medieval banquet, complete with jugs of mead, wenches, jesters, wooden plates and rip the food apart with your hands style dining. Any (proper) castles near you that offer the same kind of do?

Go Karting, then a bar, bloke stuff.

Or do it the other way round for more mayhem.

I'd definitely reccomend a comedian. Showcase live (yes the cinemas) events are pretty good if there are any near you.

https://www.franksidebottom.co.uk/ is always good for an 'intimate' function and comes from Mancs so should be near enough.

You may also want to consider an Elvis impersonator. Sounds corny but can be hilarious!!!

I'll revise that - he was always good for an intimate function...
