Christmas planning might feel a long way off…But in the corporate meetings and events world, the best dates and venues are already starting to go! 🎄
One thing we’re seeing more and more of is organisations getting ahead early to secure availability and make the whole process feel smoother. We have the means to considerably reduce last-minute stress!
This often starts with securing the right venue first, as this then shapes everything else around it. For example:
• In Edinburgh we’re seeing interest in spaces like The Virgin Hotel or Caledonian Hotel, where smaller teams can combine dinner, drinks and overnight stays in style!
• In Glasgow, venues such as Radisson Blu and Doubletree by Hilton are popular for larger festive gatherings thanks to their central locations and flexible event spaces.
• And in Aberdeen, Sandman Signature Hotel & Spa and Malmaison continue to be strong options for curated menus.
Planning early gives teams more choice over the overall experience, whether it’s:
✔️ Preferred dates
✔️ Better package options
✔️ Or the ability to add extras like accommodation or pre-event drinks without compromise
If Christmas 2026 is already on your radar, it’s a good time to start exploring options and getting ahead of the festive rush.

The new hotel is in a great spot for customers requiring to stay in the city with Tower Bridge, St Pauls, Tate Modern and other key city landmarks all less than 10 minutes away.
