Whats on in Nottingham Christmas Party 2026 with Affinity

Christmas party in Nottingham when you don’t have a work one

Not everyone has a work do to look forward to in December. Maybe you work for yourself, work from home, are part of a tiny team, or have just moved to the city. If you’re looking for a Christmas party in Nottingham that you can go to on your own, you’re very welcome at ours.

Affinity Club is a social club for adults in Nottingham, and every December we get together for a proper Christmas night out. Good food, a few drinks, some dancing and plenty of friendly faces, with none of the awkward small talk with your manager.

The Affinity Christmas party 2026

This year’s Affinity Christmas party is on Saturday 12 December 2026. We’re starting at the Queen of Hockley on Broad Street, where we have the stage area to the right of the door reserved, then moving on to Noire Lounge for dancing on the mezzanine.

  • When: Saturday 12 December 2026, from 7:30pm
  • Where: Queen of Hockley, 7 Broad Street, then Noire Lounge
  • Dress code: dress smart
  • Cost: free for members, you just buy your own drinks

Fancy starting with a meal? Join the Christmas pre-party dinner at the Queen of Hockley from 6pm, then head straight into the party.

A Christmas party when you don’t have a work one

Christmas can feel a bit flat without a party to go to. Your friends are busy with their own work nights out, your partner has theirs, and you’re left wondering where your festive night out has gone. That’s exactly why so many of our members love the Affinity Christmas party.

It’s a great fit if you:

  • are self-employed or run a small business
  • work remotely and rarely see colleagues
  • have moved to Nottingham and are still building a social circle
  • have friends who’ve drifted apart or settled down
  • simply want a Christmas night out with new people

Going on your own? Most people do

Coming to a Christmas party on your own can feel like a big step, but you really won’t be the only one. Lots of our members join events solo, and our hosts are there to welcome you, introduce you to people and help you settle in. If you’re new, it’s worth arriving a little early so you can meet the hosts before it gets busy.

Our members are mostly in their 30s, 40s and 50s, but all ages are welcome. You can meet your hosts before the night if you’d like to know who to look out for.

Christmas party in Nottingham: your questions

Can I come to the Christmas party on my own?

Yes. Plenty of people come on their own, and our hosts will make sure you’re introduced to others.

How much does it cost?

The party is free for members. You buy your own drinks, and if you join the pre-party dinner you pay for your own meal.

What should I wear?

Dress smart. Think Christmas night out rather than black tie, and some festive sparkle is always welcome.

What age are the people who go?

Most of our members are 30 plus, but everyone is welcome.

I’ve never been to an Affinity event. Is the Christmas party a good first one?

It’s one of the best. Everyone is in a good mood, there are lots of new faces, and it’s an easy way to meet people you’ll see at events in the new year.

Book your place

No work Christmas party this year? No problem. Book your place at the Affinity Christmas party and celebrate with us on Saturday 12 December.
