Celebrate Christmas at the Home of Cricket, where historic surroundings and contemporary spaces provide a unique backdrop for festive entertaining. Whether you're planning a client dinner, a company-wide Christmas celebration or an end-of-year drinks reception, Lord's offers an impressive collection of event spaces that combine sporting heritage with contemporary hospitality. Plus, with award-winning in-house catering, dedicated event planning and a range of unique event enhancements, the team can tailor your festive celebration exactly to your requirements.
For larger Christmas parties, the Thomas Lord Suite is one of the venue's most flexible spaces, accommodating dinners for up to 250 guests, or receptions for as many as 450 attendees. Flooded with natural daylight, it lends itself equally well to festive lunchtime banquets and larger corporate Christmas parties or standing receptions.
For more exclusive occasions, the Long Room provides one of Britain's most recognisable settings for Christmas entertaining. Guests can begin with drinks in the adjoining Long Room Bar before moving into the historic hall for a seated festive dinner beneath MCC's renowned collection of cricketing artwork. Smaller festive lunches, executive dinners or private receptions, meanwhile, will feel right at home in the elegant Writing Room, while Pelham's offers a contemporary alternative with floor-to-ceiling views across the Ground and space for dinners of up to 135 guests or standing receptions for 170.
Businesses looking for a more contemporary setting might choose Compton's, with its expansive layout and outfield views creating an atmospheric backdrop for festive drinks, parties and standing receptions. The Edrich offers a refined dining environment for up to 60 guests, overlooking the famous Pavilion and outfield. Both spaces provide an elevated setting for client entertaining or office Christmas dinners where the emphasis is on exceptional food and an exclusive location.
Whichever space you choose, you can expect Lord's signature award-winning catering, dedicated event planning and one of the UK’s most iconic sports settings, to create Christmas celebrations that leave a lasting impression.
