It’s nearly time to get your mistletoe ready and dust off those dancing shoes, so with the Christmas party season only a couple of months away we’ve taken a look at the best venues in Edinburgh to have a Christmas party this year.

Whether you're dreaming of a cosy yuletide gathering with close friends or aiming to host a grand corporate soirée, we've scoured the city to put together a selection of venues that are bound to sleigh your senses this Christmas.

The Dome at George Street is not only perhaps the best looking Christmas venue but it also smells like Christmas thanks to cinnamon and other festive smells throughout the Georgian building. The venue's famous festive décor sparkles once again from October 30, 2023 until January 7, 2024. Due to unprecedented demand this festive season the maximum table size is 8 in the Grill Room, 5 in the Club Room and 10 in the Georgian Tea Room. Sorry, you cannot book multiple tables.
