Empire Banqueting Hall Christmas Party 2026

The Empire Banqueting Hall is one of Leicester's most striking Christmas party venues, combining Grade II-listed architecture with a central location that's easy to reach from across the city and the wider East Midlands. Situated on Foundry Lane, Belgrave Gate, it's just minutes from Leicester city centre, with NCP car parks on Orchard Street and Garden Street nearby, and hotels including The Belmont, Ramada Encore and Premier Inn all within walking distance.

As a Christmas party venue, the Empire Banqueting Hall has few rivals in Leicester. Its high ceilings, original features and large-format layout make it equally suited to full production shared party nights and exclusive private hire events, accommodating anywhere from 250 to 400 guests. The venue has the scale to host serious entertainment and the character to make the setting feel really special during December's festive events.

This December, the Empire Banqueting Hall plays host to the Winter Carnival Christmas Party, an award-winning shared party night running across six dates from 4th to 19th December.

If you're searching for a Christmas party venue in Leicester that will absolutely wow your guests, book this party early before it sells out.
