Forge, located in the heart of Bank, offers a bold and stylish setting for unforgettable Christmas celebrations. With its New York–inspired interiors, high ceilings, exposed pillars, and industrial-chic design, the venue blends contemporary edge with festive warmth, creating the perfect backdrop for seasonal parties.

What makes Forge unique is its versatility. Across multiple event spaces – from the vibrant Main Bar and Restaurant to the semi-private Cocktail Lounge and Club Room with adjoining VIP Cage – Forge can cater to both intimate gatherings and large-scale corporate parties. Whether guests are looking for a seated festive dinner, a lively drinks reception, or a high-energy late-night celebration, the spaces can be tailored to suit every style of Christmas event.

Seasonal touches such as bespoke festive menus, creative cocktails, and adaptable layouts ensure that every celebration feels personalised. Optional enhancements, including live DJs, entertainment, and immersive décor, add to the experience, while our dedicated events team supports clients at every step to deliver seamless and memorable occasions.

Forge’s combination of atmospheric design, flexible event spaces, and central City location makes it a standout destination for Christmas parties. It’s not just a venue—it’s a festive experience designed to impress.

At Forge, we believe a Christmas party should feel immersive from the moment guests walk through the door. Our aim is to create a festive atmosphere that blends the venue’s bold, New York–inspired design with seasonal touches that feel both stylish and memorable.

Décor is tailored to the season with warm lighting, festive garlands, Christmas trees, and sparkling details throughout the venue. Each space – from the Main Bar and Restaurant to the Club Room, Cocktail Lounge, and VIP Cage – is dressed to complement its unique style, ensuring guests feel instantly transported into a celebratory environment.

Lighting plays a key role in setting the mood. We combine soft amber tones for dinners and receptions with vibrant colour washes and dynamic effects later in the evening, creating a natural transition from festive dining to lively late-night celebration.

Music completes the atmosphere. Early evening gatherings are accompanied by curated playlists of modern festive favourites and relaxed background beats, while later events can feature live DJs or entertainment to elevate the energy and keep the dancefloor alive.

The overall vibe is one of sophistication with a festive twist: a space where colleagues, friends, and clients can celebrate in style, enjoy exceptional service, and make lasting memories. With attentive staff, tailored menus, and flexible event design, Forge ensures every guest experiences not just a party, but a Christmas celebration to remember.

At Forge, we are committed to ensuring that our events are delivered with care not only for our guests but also for the wider community and environment. We believe memorable celebrations can be created responsibly, and we continually adapt our practices to reflect this.

Eco-Friendly Initiatives

Sustainable Sourcing: Our menus prioritise seasonal produce and responsibly sourced ingredients, reducing food miles and supporting local suppliers where possible.

Reduced Waste: We operate a zero-to-landfill policy, ensuring that all waste is either recycled or converted into energy. Our team actively minimises single-use plastics, replacing them with reusable or biodegradable alternatives.

Energy Efficiency: The venue uses LED and energy-efficient lighting throughout, reducing energy consumption while still delivering an impressive visual impact for events.

Social Responsibility

Fair Employment Practices: We are dedicated to supporting our staff with training, development opportunities, and a safe, inclusive workplace. Our festive events rely on a passionate team who are valued and supported year-round.

Community Engagement: Forge partners with local charities and initiatives, from food donations to fundraising support during the festive season, ensuring our celebrations give back to the wider community.

Responsible Service: We promote responsible drinking at all of our events and ensure our staff are trained to uphold guest safety and wellbeing.

By combining sustainability with exceptional guest experience, Forge ensures that every Christmas event is both stylish and socially responsible. Our approach is about more than hosting parties—it’s about creating lasting memories with respect for the people and the planet that make them possible.

At Forge, food and drink are at the heart of the festive experience. Our Christmas menus are carefully designed to bring people together, offering indulgent seasonal dishes alongside creative twists that cater to a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements.

Our catering options are flexible, from seated festive banquets to sharing-style platters and vibrant bowl food, allowing organisers to tailor their event to the style and flow of the evening. Using fresh, seasonal produce, our chefs create dishes that feel celebratory yet refined – from traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings to inventive vegetarian and vegan options that ensure every guest feels included.

Drinks are just as important to the guest journey. Our bars feature extensive wine lists, premium spirits, and bespoke drinks packages designed for festive gatherings. Seasonal cocktails, such as spiced martinis or mulled creations, add a unique flair, while champagne and prosecco upgrades give events a touch of luxury. Flexible packages also allow clients to choose from welcome drinks, table service, or all-inclusive bars, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

What elevates Forge’s offering is the way food and beverage integrate with the atmosphere. Guests can begin with a sparkling drinks reception in the Main Bar, move into a seated festive feast in the Restaurant, and finish the night with cocktails and dancing in the Club Room or Cocktail Lounge. Attentive staff and dedicated floor teams ensure that service flows smoothly, leaving guests free to celebrate without worry.

At Forge, festive dining and drinking go beyond the basics—they are curated to delight, impress, and enhance every moment of the Christmas party experience.

At Forge, we know that exceptional service is the key to a successful Christmas event. From the first enquiry through to the final guest departure, our experienced events team works closely with organisers to ensure every detail is delivered to the highest standard.

The process begins with dedicated event managers who guide clients through planning, providing tailored proposals, site visits, and clear communication at every stage. Runsheets and detailed briefings are prepared well in advance, ensuring that every member of staff understands the client’s vision, timings, and priorities.

On the day, our floor managers and operations team oversee all aspects of delivery—from set-up and décor to catering and technical support—so organisers can relax knowing everything is in expert hands. Each event is supported by trained staff, including attentive floor teams, skilled bartenders, and security personnel where required. Our team are not only professional but also approachable and proactive, anticipating guest needs and responding quickly to any adjustments.

Flexibility is a key strength: whether it’s adapting a room layout last minute, accommodating dietary requests, or adjusting the flow of service, our staff are equipped to handle changes seamlessly. Technical support is also available in-house, with AV, lighting, and sound operated by experienced technicians to ensure presentations, music, and entertainment run without a hitch.

What sets Forge apart is our commitment to going beyond expectations. We don’t just deliver an event—we create an experience where every guest feels looked after, and every organiser feels supported. Our aim is always the same: smooth, stress-free management and outstanding service that leaves a lasting impression.

At Forge, we believe the best Christmas parties are those that combine great food and drink with unforgettable entertainment. That’s why we offer a wide range of extras and enhancements designed to transform celebrations into truly standout experiences.

Our in-house DJ booth sets the tone for high-energy evenings, with professional DJs available to create the perfect festive soundtrack. For something more bespoke, we work with trusted entertainment partners to provide live bands, performers, and themed acts tailored to the client’s vision. From saxophonists to roaming entertainers, we can curate experiences that match the atmosphere—whether it’s a sophisticated cocktail reception or a late-night dance party.

Interactive elements also elevate the guest experience. Popular options include mirror photo booths for fun, memorable keepsakes; cocktail masterclasses led by our expert bartenders; and themed décor packages to enhance the festive feel. We can also arrange manned cloakrooms, hostesses, and security staff to ensure smooth running throughout the evening.

For companies looking to add a personal touch, we offer branding opportunities across menus, screens, and even custom cocktails, allowing events to feel truly bespoke. Our flexible AV setup also supports presentations, award ceremonies, or festive games, giving organisers the tools to shape the event their way.

What makes Forge unique is the way these add-ons integrate seamlessly into the venue’s spaces. Guests might enjoy a welcome drink reception with live acoustic music in the Restaurant, capture moments at a photo booth in the Main Bar, and then dance late into the night in the Club Room with a live DJ.

By combining exceptional entertainment with thoughtful extras, Forge ensures every Christmas party is more than just an event—it’s an experience guests will talk about long after the season ends.

Forge stands out in the Christmas events market because we offer more than just a venue—we deliver a complete festive experience that combines striking design, flexible spaces, exceptional catering, and seamless service.

Our catering sets us apart with its balance of indulgent festive tradition and creative flair.

Drinks are equally memorable, with bespoke cocktail creations, premium packages, and festive favourites like mulled wine and champagne upgrades. This combination of choice, quality, and creativity ensures every guest feels part of the celebration.

But what truly makes Forge unique is the way food, drink, and atmosphere come together across our versatile event spaces. Few venues in the City can offer such adaptability: from a sit-down festive banquet in the Restaurant to a high-energy dancefloor in the Club Room, or a stylish reception in the Cocktail Lounge, Forge caters to every style of Christmas celebration.

Our dedicated events team provides a level of care and professionalism that clients consistently highlight in their feedback. From tailored proposals and pre-event planning to flawless delivery on the night, we pride ourselves on making the organiser’s job stress-free while exceeding guest expectations.
