Location, location, location

The right location is key to any successful event - because what’s the use in throwing the Christmas party of the century if nobody can get there!  

With its central location, Milton Keynes is easily accessible from all major cities. With a mere 35 minutes from London Euston and 45 minutes from Birmingham on the train, you can ensure maximum attendance and minimal travel hassle for your Christmas party.  

The city is also well-connected by road and air, with swift access to the M1 motorway and Heathrow and Birmingham Airports only an hour's drive away.

Conveniently located opposite the Milton Keynes train station, Unity Place is an ideal venue for any Christmas party that has guests travelling further afield. For those who live local to the area, there is plenty of nearby parking, bus stops, and taxi options so that everyone can join in the festivities.

Food, glorious food

Whether you're looking for hearty classics or sure-fire crowd-pleasers, a Christmas meal in Milton Keynes promises to be a feast for the senses.  
 
With the city’s booming culinary scene, there are hundreds of independent bars and restaurants to choose from. But a sit down, three-course turkey dinner can often be overdone in the run-up to Christmas. So why not treat your guests to something a little different? 
 

Our up-market street food vendors at Urban Food Market are the perfect solution to accommodate everyone’s likes, dislikes, and dietary requirements. From pizza pop-ups to fiery Jamaican dishes that’ll put a pep in your step, your guests will be spoilt for choice! 
 
You can also treat your guests to an exceptional Punjabi and South-Indian feast at Dipna Anand Kitchen & Bar or opt for something lighter with fresh mince pies and other refreshments from our on-site bakery.  
 
Why go anywhere else for your Christmas lunch or meal in Milton Keynes when you can have it all at Unity Place?

A city that never sleeps

No Christmas party in Milton Keynes is complete without a festive tipple or two. And with the city’s bustling nightlife scene, it’s easy to be swept away in a world of revelry.  

Bar-hopping can be a little chilly in December, so why not take your Christmas party to new heights at our very own Unity Sky Lounge? Because nothing says sophistication quite like sipping a fancy cocktail against the backdrop of the city’s stunning skyline.  

Available for private hire for both business and personal use, our stylish bar serves handmade drinks, sustainably sourced wines, and a selection of speciality beers from Toast Ale’s on-site microbrewery.  

With everything you could possibly want for a boozy Christmas party in Milton Keynes, the only question remains: would you like your cocktail shaken or stirred?
