The weather is getting cooler, the night's are getting darker, so that can only mean one thing...

It's time to organise the work Christmas do.

Forget the same old dry turkey dinner, followed by your feet sticking to the floor in a jam-packed nightclub on Broad Street.

Vivid Experience has organised a run of 22 amazing Christmas party nights at the NEC where you and your work mates can enjoy a celebration you will never forget.

The lavish parties run from Friday November 30 to Saturday December 22.

This year's theme is Wonderland where guests will be treated to an evening of enchanted entertainment, opulent surroundings and lots of fun.

But you had better be quick - because many have already been booked up.

Organisations large and small are welcome.

Although the parties run throughout December, the parties on Sunday, December 2 and Wednesday, December 5, are especially tailored to welcome those who work both in retail and the emergency services.

Prices start at £45 and go up to £70.50 (including VAT) depending on what date you book.

What previous party-goers have to say

Vivid Experience has been organising Christmas parties at the NEC for five years.

In its very first year, Christmas Party World attracted 15,000 people and since then thousands of guests have grabbed their tickets to experience an office party like no other, with last year alone seeing 100,000 tickets being sold.

Some of the biggest companies in the country have chosen to celebrate the festive season at these events including Rolls Royce, Barclays, Virgin Media and Taylor Wimpy.

A spokesperson from Thorntons PLC, who have also attended in the past, said: "The Christmas party is one of the highlights of our company’s year."

"From the initial conversation with the Vivid team to the night itself. The communication and planning is fantastic and the night never fails to impress. The venue, entertainment, food and staff are faultless!"

Amtico is another company that has praised Vivid Experiences for their Birmingham parties. A spokesperson said: "The Christmas party was a resounding success and everyone had the most fantastic time.

"The organisation, entertainment and food were all first class and each and every person had the most wonderful time.

"We were chuffed to bits with the entire evening and we can’t wait to book again!"
