Christmas party ideas in Daventry for workmates and friends
Planning the Christmas night out? Start with Saturday 12 December 2026.
Daventry Comedy Club’s Christmas Special brings Stephen Bailey and Andy Askins to
Daventry Community Centre, with Stevie Gray hosting. Doors and the bar open at 7pm, the show starts at 8pm, and tickets are £15 plus booking fee. It’s an 18+ event.
Book your group’s tickets for the Christmas Special
That gives you the centrepiece of the evening.
The next question is what to do around it. Whether you’re bringing colleagues together or finally getting the friends’ group chat to commit to a date, here are a few ways to celebrate in Daventry.
Dinner in town, then a comedy show
Book an early table, enjoy a proper catch-up and head to the show together. Viento Lounge in Bowen Square is one option for food and drinks; it’s also one of the local businesses that kindly displays our Daventry Comedy Club posters.
For burgers, small plates and cocktails, try No 4 Brook Street. If your group would prefer a traditional festive meal, The Boat House and The Queen of Hearts are advertising Christmas dining too. Book directly with your chosen venue and allow plenty of time to reach the Community Centre before the 8pm start.
Make the comedy show the whole night out
You don’t have to organise a meal for twenty people to have a Christmas party. Pick a meeting time, bring your group to Daventry Comedy Club and let the evening unfold. There’s a licensed bar at the venue, and the show is celebrating the club’s first anniversary after four fully booked Daventry nights.
It’s a particularly easy choice for a smaller workplace team or a group of friends with different tastes in food: everyone can sort out dinner their own way, then meet for the show.
Go for dinner and dancing at Mercure
If your group has its heart set on a hotel party night, Mercure Daventry Court Hotel’s 2026 Christmas programme offers several options. Its advertised plans include festive party nights with dinner and a DJ, a Whitney Houston tribute night, a Bavarian themed night and a daytime festive brunch. Check the individual dates and availability when booking.
Start Christmas early with a daytime get-together
Daventry’s Christmas Market & Festive Fun is scheduled for Saturday 21 November 2026. Meet in town for a wander, then turn it into lunch or drinks afterwards. It’s a good option if getting everyone free on a December evening is proving impossible.
If 12 December works for your group, get the main booking into the diary first. Then choose whether you want an early dinner in town or to meet at the comedy club when doors open at 7pm.
