Coventry and Warwickshire biggest Christmas parties set to return after four years away

Coventry and Warwickshire’s biggest Christmas parties are set to make a return for a first time in four years and will see a popular venue transformed into the eccentric world of the chocolate factory.

Large scale festive celebrations will be returning to Coventry Building Society Arena and the venue will be hosting at ‘Christmas at the Chocolate Factory’ themed party this December.

Businesses across the region are being invited to enter a world of pure imagination and enjoy their office Christmas party at the chocolate factory.

Coventry Building Society Arena is famed for its huge festive celebration and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme follows on from a circus spectacular in 2019.

The Arena is set to welcome more than 9000 people across the five nights the Chocolate Factory takes over the venue, with parties taking place on the evenings of December 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16.

The party will see live performers to entertain guests throughout the evening, alongside a three-course dinner and a range of indulgent chocolatey treats.

It will feature a range of Chocolate Factory themed areas including the gates to the factory, The Inventing Room, The Fizzy Lifting Room and the Glass Elevator.

Guests will also be tasked with finding their own Golden Ticket to win prizes and join Charlie on his adventure through the factory.

After dinner, guests can enjoy fairground rides in The Inventing Room and a live band and DJ will provide entertainment until 1.30am.

The venue has been unable to host its popular Christmas parties for four years as a result of the pandemic and financial challenges in 2022.

Paul Michael, Commercial Director at Coventry Building Society Arena, says that large Christmas parties have been a foundation of the venue’s success and that they are expecting businesses to flock back to the Arena for the region’s largest festive celebration.

“For many years our venue had a reputation as the place to be for Christmas parties in Coventry and we’re really pleased to be able to bring back our events for the festive period this year,” he said.

“There are some fantastic offers from venues across Coventry for Christmas parties, but nothing comes close to the scale of events we can offer here at Coventry Building Society Arena.

“We always try to do something a little bit different with our events and we’re confident the Chocolate Factory theme will be a real treat.

“After a difficult few years, it’s wonderful to be able to get back to what we are great at doing, and that’s making memorable experiences for our visitors.” 

There are also a range of private Christmas party options available at Coventry Building Society Arena.

Guests can book stays at the Arena’s onsite Doubletree by Hilton Hotel and continue the party into the early hours at the Grosvenor Casino.
