Christmas
Celebrate Christmas in style with a party at Fitzwilliam College. Start the festivities with a glass of mulled wine, followed by great food, with mince pies and coffee to finish. We have plenty of space for a dance floor if you wish to dance the night away, you can add your own touches by hiring a live band or your own entertainment or we can arrange a disco for you at an additional cost.
Celebrating as a small group? Enjoy the Christmas spirit by joining one of our shared Party Nights, with a disco included, on Wednesday 11th and Saturday 21st December 2024.
Sustainable Christmas crackers and festive decorations are included with all options, take a look at our menus and get in touch to book your Christmas party with us.
Join us at Fitz for Christmas! Choose between a festive formal dining experience, or our delicious carvery menu. Both choices are available for lunch or dinner.

“The Fitz Events team were extremely helpful, approachable and efficient and it was useful to be met by them to answer any questions when I arrived. The drinks reception and dinner flowed well, and the disco was great fun. The night ran smoothly thanks to the expert coordination of the catering team.” Jennie Nelson, Department of Physics
