Spinners opens 2026 Christmas party bookings across four UK venues

Spinners has opened enquiries for its 2026 Christmas party programme in Chester, Plymouth, Reading and Solihull, with events running from 16 November 2026 to 13 January 2027. The offer expands the brand’s competitive socialising format with fixed-price festive packages, more games in Reading and first-time Christmas events in Chester.

Why it matters: - Spinners is targeting businesses that want a less formal Christmas party format with built-in activities, food and drinks. - The longer booking window gives organisers more choice before the busiest December dates and a way to move celebrations into January. - The expanded programme also signals growth for the brand, including first-time Christmas trading in Chester and a broader game mix in Reading.

What happened: - Spinners opened enquiries for its 2026 Christmas party programme across Chester, Plymouth, Reading and Solihull. - The festive season runs from 16 November 2026 to 13 January 2027, excluding Christmas Day. - The programme combines competitive social games, drinks and sharing food in fixed-price packages. - Chester will host its first Spinners Christmas season. - Reading reopened with a refurbished venue and seven activities: Mini Golf, Electric Darts, Duckpin Bowling, Clay Shot, Interactive Golf, Electric Boules and Shuffleboard.

The details: - The events are built around games that get guests moving, competing and mixing rather than following a traditional sit-down Christmas party format. - No previous experience is needed to take part. - Spinners’ Events Team handles planning from the first enquiry through to the event. - Organisers share their preferred date, group size and budget, and the team recommends a package, games and menu. - A dedicated venue host can support groups during the event. - Three festive packages are available, with prices starting from £35 per person and varying by venue. - Packages include activity time, a welcome drink and additional drink tokens. - Selected packages also include festive sharing food. - An on-page calculator lets organisers see an indicative cost before making an enquiry. - Groups of seven to 49 guests can book the standard festive packages. - Groups of 50 or more can enquire about partial or full exclusive venue hire. - Exclusive hire options include tournaments, leaderboards, branded game screens, a winner’s trophy and a dedicated event host. - Monday and Tuesday bookings get a 20% off-peak saving, excluding 21 and 22 December. - Saturday bookings carry a supplement. - Drink packages include soft drink options, and cocktail and mocktail upgrades are available. - Gluten-free and vegan food options can be provided. - All chicken served by Spinners is halal. - Guests should tell the Events Team about allergies or other dietary needs when booking. - Full details are available in Spinners' Christmas programme.

Between the lines: - The offer leans into a broader shift in corporate hospitality toward activity-led group events instead of standard restaurant-format parties. - The package structure and off-peak discounts suggest Spinners is trying to spread demand beyond the most competitive December dates. - The venue-specific mix, especially in Reading, shows Spinners is using refurbished and expanded spaces to deepen its festive offer without changing the core brand.

What's next: - Businesses can now enquire for dates, pricing and package options across the four venues. - Spinners is likely to see the earliest demand from companies aiming to avoid December bottlenecks. - Venue hire and larger-group bookings will be the main route for events of 50 guests or more.

The bottom line: - Spinners is betting that competitive games, flexible packages and a longer Christmas calendar will make it easier for companies to plan office parties without the usual seasonal scramble.
