Looking for a Christmas party venue in Winchester that's out of this world? We think you'll agree that the Winchester Science Centre ticks the box with an unusual setting, flexible space and impressive capacity of up to 500 people standing.
There are plenty of ways to celebrate here, from party nights that relieve you of the pressure of having to plan a shindig yourself, to exclusive hire for hundreds of people - ideal for an all-company takeover - allowing you to let your imagination run wild and transform the space into a winter wonderland.
As for the sharer nights; these are ideal for smaller teams or offices that want to be part of a larger celebration. Packages are for 10 or more people and include a glamorous, red carpet arrival with a complimentary glass of fizz, followed by an incredible live demo of the solar system in The Planetarium, with its sparkling, shining light display. Next up, it's time for festive-themed street food in the Alpine bar, alongside dry ice cocktails for extra atmosphere, with roving science demonstrations to keep everyone entertained.
Access to all the interactive exhibitions is included in the evening, so your colleagues can go off, explore, play and essentially, be big kids for the night. Although, there are some perks to being a grown-up, like the DJ set that rages on until midnight! There are multiple dates to book onto throughout November and December, with a set price and loosely festive dress code.
If you'd rather throw your own party, the events team are very happy to accommodate that, too. For your own takeover, access to the exhibitions and a display in The Planetarium is also included, as well as a fully stocked bar and DJ. This experience works for up to 210 guests if you choose to opt for a seated meal, or 500 if not. When it comes to catering, the team can connect you with a list of preferred suppliers but this will be an extra cost.
