7 Amazing Auckland Christmas Work Party Ideas
It is coming up to the silly season, meaning if you haven’t already, it’s time to organise your Auckland Christmas work party. We’ve asked around and have found seven fun and unique work party ideas:
1. Christmas MasterChef – swap your suit for an apron and together with your team, prep and cook a tasty meal good enough to wow the event judges. Social Cooking can host your workplace MasterChef event at their venue, or for smaller attendee numbers, why not cook up a storm in the boss’ kitchen instead!
2. Harbour Cruise – head out on an Auckland Harbour cruise and enjoy stunning views, and a selection of wine and nibbles with your workmates. Or smaller groups could enjoy a sunset dinner and dessert cruise, watching the city’s twinkling lights come alive from the harbour.
3. Karaoke Night – it’s time for those want to be NZ Idol contestants to shine (and sing) at a karaoke Christmas party at ACE Karaoke Bar. Set up and ready to go, this venue has both small and large sections with seating, great for both shy and confident singers to take the microphone.
4. Family Picnic – many workplaces are now choosing to host a single Christmas party for both employees and their families. Popular picnic spots include Mission Bay and Brown Bay beaches, Cornwall Park, Western Springs Park and Farm Cove Reserve. The picnic could be catered for by one of the city’s plentiful cafes or make it a bring your own BBQ with a potluck plate of goodies to share with the other guests.
5. Wine Tasting – ideal for smaller workplaces, book a private bus or minivan and visit some of the West Auckland’s finest wineries and breweries. Or take the ferry over to Waiheke Island and explore popular wineries including Mudbrick Vineyard, Wild on Waiheke and Stonyridge Vineyard.
6. Axe Throwing – for a more adventurous party, challenge your colleagues with an axe throwing experience. Sweet Axe can cater for groups of up to 120 guests, and let’s face it; who doesn’t fancy taking aim at a target with an axe to let out stress from the year that has passed?!
7. Private Cinema – The Silky Otter, Academy Cinemas and Takapuna Beachside Cinemas all offer groups the option for hiring a cinema for a private movie showing. With various sized cinemas available, this can be a more sedate Christmas party option, away from the hustle and bustle of the season.
