Social Events and Festive Season

More Ways to Celebrate

The best celebrations happen when everyone can relax and enjoy the moment.

With waterfront views, great dining and plenty of room to gather, Wrest Point is made for milestone birthdays, engagement parties, reunions, gala dinners and end-of-year celebrations.

Let us handle the details, so you can focus on the people you’re there to celebrate.

End-of-Year and Festive Season

Wrap up the year with a team celebration at Wrest Point.

Gather colleagues for a cocktail party by the water, a long lunch with river views, a festive dinner, or an evening of food, drinks and entertainment.

With a range of event spaces overlooking the River Derwent, it’s a great place to bring everyone together and toast a successful year.

Spaces to Suit the Occasion

The right setting can make all the difference. With a range of function spaces across the property, Wrest Point can accommodate everything from intimate celebrations and cocktail events to larger social gatherings and weddings.

For something a little different, private bar experiences and partial or exclusive use of our on-site restaurants are also available by request, giving you more ways to bring people together and make the occasion your own.
