Christmas in the Barns

Chafford Park | Kent Countryside

Forget the hotel ballroom. This Christmas, bring your team somewhere that actually feels like Christmas. Chafford Park’s historic hop barns – dating back to the 17th century -transform into atmospheric winter venues, their ancient timbers wrapped in fairy lights and garlands while the Kent countryside disappears into the dark beyond floor-to-ceiling glass.

This is what a proper Christmas party looks like.

"Outstanding Christmas party at Wonderland Venues. The atmosphere was buzzing from the start with great lighting and entertainment, and the barn layout made it feel really special. The bar service and catering were excellent, and the team were super helpful throughout. People are already asking if we can book it again for next year."
