Looking to host a Christmas party in Mayfair? Tucked away in Audley Square, The University Women's Club is a Grade II-listed townhouse, offering a beautifully elegant setting for this year’s festivities.
There are several spaces to choose from when it comes to private hire. The Library is well-suited for groups of up to 60, bringing a grand feel to any celebration thanks to its green wood-panelled walls, antique parquet flooring and crystal chandeliers. You and your guests can also make the most of idyllic views across Hyde Park, as well as enjoying access to the intimate first-floor terrace - the ideal spot for a pre- or post-dinner drink.
Alternatively, the Drawing Room provides another excellent option for festive celebrations, also offering capacity for up to 60 guests standing. Those wanting to enjoy a seated Christmas meal can take over the Dining Room. This ground-floor space boasts dramatic French windows that open up onto the Club’s secluded terrace garden, which is also available for hire.
When it comes to the menus, The University Women’s Club boasts imaginative, seasonal menus that can be tailored to suit the occasion. Two- or three-course dinners can be organised, with dishes including everything from beef carpaccio topped with rocket and Parmesan shavings or hot-smoked salmon pate with cucumber salsa and sourdough to start, followed by Mediterranean-style chicken breast with crushed new potatoes or beef fillet with dauphinois and a red wine sauce.
Those planning a standing reception can choose from a selection of canapes and bowl food to cater their event. Choose from hot and cold options including beetroot and goat’s cheese tartlets, wild mushroom and Parmesan arancini and cocktail sausages cooked in honey and mustard. To complete your event, why not opt for one of the wine packages? Choose from the ‘Club’, ‘Classic’ or ‘Celebration’ packages, with the option to add a glass of Prosecco or Champagne on arrival.
