Why choose Escape Leicester for your Christmas party?
A Christmas do people actually turn up to. Instead of another long meal, your group gets a private mission, a race against the clock and a team photo at the end, then pizza and drinks in the events room while the results are argued over. Both venues are in the city centre, so the rest of the night is a short walk away.
Hire the entire venue for your Christmas party
Groups of 49–96 can take over both venues at once, with teams rotating through rooms and gathering back at Market Street for food, drinks and the debrief. Exclusive venue hire and bespoke festive formats are quoted by the events team.
An inclusive party everyone can enjoy
No experience, fitness or confidence needed. Rooms range from gentle 3/5 adventures to 5/5 challenges, Horsefair House has three wheelchair-accessible games, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food carries no surcharge, so the whole team can take part.
