The office Christmas party is one of the best reasons to get everyone together at the end of the year. Whether you’re travelling into Bristol for a team dinner, an evening of drinks or a bigger celebration, why rush home afterwards? Book a stay at PREMIER SUITES Bristol Redcliffe and give yourself time to enjoy the night. If the party falls on a Thursday or Friday, you could even add on the weekend and make the most of Christmas in the city.
Make a Night of the Office Christmas Party
A Christmas party should feel like a treat, especially after a busy year. Staying overnight means you can get ready at your own pace, head out for the evening and return to your own comfortable space when the celebrations are over.
At PREMIER SUITES Bristol Redcliffe, you’ll have the freedom of an apartment, with room to relax and a fully equipped kitchen for breakfast the next morning. It’s a practical choice if you’re travelling for a work event, and an inviting one if you want your party night to feel like the start of a break.
It also takes the pressure off the morning after. There’s no need to plan a late journey home when you could enjoy a slower start, meet colleagues for coffee or spend a little more time exploring Bristol.
Add a Weekend to Your Stay
If your office party is near the end of the working week, adding an extra night or two is an easy way to turn it into a weekend away. Invite a partner or friend to join you after the party, or take some time for yourself in the city.
Start with a leisurely breakfast before heading out to explore. Bristol’s Harbourside is a lovely place for a winter walk, with plenty of spots to stop for food or a warm drink. You could browse the city’s shops, book dinner somewhere new or simply enjoy having a weekend with no work plans.
The best part is that your stay can be as full or as relaxed as you like. Spend the day out discovering Bristol, then return to your apartment to put your feet up before heading out again in the evening. With your own living space, you can settle in and enjoy more than just one night in the city.
Explore Bristol’s Christmas Markets
A festive break in Bristol calls for a visit to the Christmas markets. Bristol Christmas Market brings seasonal food, handmade gifts and traditional wooden chalets to the city centre, making it a lovely stop for an afternoon of browsing.
Pick up a few presents, enjoy something delicious from the stalls and take in the Christmas atmosphere. It’s an easy way to fill a few hours before dinner, or a good starting point for a full day of festive shopping. Bristol Christmas Market is scheduled to run from 6 November to 23 December 2026, so there’s plenty of opportunity to work it into a pre-Christmas stay.
Go Ice Skating by the Harbourside
For another festive outing, look out for Bristol on Ice at the Harbourside Amphitheatre. Whether you’re confident on skates or happier holding on to the side, it’s a fun activity to enjoy with friends, a partner or family.
Visit Bristol also highlights food stalls, fairground rides, bars and live music as part of the experience. Check the event details when planning your trip so you can see whether it lines up with your chosen dates. Afterwards, you can continue your evening with dinner in the city or head back to your apartment for a cosy night in.
Plan a Festive Leisure Break
You don’t need an office party as an excuse to visit. A weekend in Bristol is a chance to do your Christmas shopping, try the ice rink and spend some time enjoying the city before the rush of the holidays.
PREMIER SUITES Bristol Redcliffe gives you a comfortable base for it all. Make breakfast before heading out, bring your market finds back to the apartment and take a break whenever you need one. Whether you’re staying for a party night or a longer leisure break, you can enjoy Bristol’s festive season at your own pace.
