James Bond Christmas Party in Brighton
Dress up and enjoy the thrill. The James Bond Christmas Party is coming to Brighton.
There’s a 3-course dinner, unlimited drinks, themed decor, live music and all the after-dinner entertainment you can handle. Wear your dancing shoes (the sparkly ones).
There’s no need for the Aston Martin DB9. The James Christmas Party is in central Brighton at The Metropole, right opposite the beach. Transport links are excellent.
What to expect at the James Bond Party in Brighton
A sparkling glass of Prosecco is waiting for you as you make a red carpet VIP entrance.
As the banqueting room doors open to the iconic Bond theme, the decor is as cool as James Bond himself.
The bar is open for unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks — and while you indulge in a delicious 3-course dinner, those classic Bond film favourites play in the background.
The all-inclusive drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed… but the entertainment is just beginning.
Our fantastic live band raises the temperature from cool Bond to red hot hits from across the decades.
If you can resist the dance floor, professional croupiers are handing out just-for-fun casino chips at the Blackjack and roulette tables. Or why not visit the glitter bar for some expert face painting artistry.
And don’t forget the photo booth. You can visit as many times as you like to make some memories.
James Bond Christmas Party Brighton venue
Our venue for the James Bond party is the Brighton Metropole. Overlooking the seafront, this famous Victorian hotel has seen more fun, festivity and flirtation than a hundredweight of mistletoe.
It’s right opposite Brighton beach, 15 minutes by foot from Brighton Station and easily accessible via virtually every bus route through the city.
If you fancy an overnight stay, The Metropole offers 321 comfortable rooms plus an indoor pool, fitness centre and spa.

The dress code
There isn’t a dress code because we want you to relax and have a good time.
But hey, it’s James Bond. Is there a better excuse for dressing up? He’s famous for looking fabulous — even when the evil villain is threatening a grisly end.
For men, we’d recommend black tie. For women… Well, there’s so much choice. Bond Girl bling, elegant ball gown, Pussy Galore jumpsuit or little black dress. Take your pick!

About the event
Is this a shared event?
Yes, the main party room is shared. It’s where the 3-course dinner is served, and all the live music and entertainment happens.
Will we have our own table?
Yes, no matter the size of your guest list you’ll have your own tables. You won’t have to share the table with anyone outside your party group.
Are drinks included in the price?
Yes. Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks are included in your ticket price. They’re served from 8pm until 12.30am.
For an additional £25 you can upgrade to a premium ticket — 5 tokens, each redeemable for a glass of Prosecco or single spirits, with or without mixers.
Is there a dress code?
There is no dress code. However, a James Bond party is a great excuse to dress up.
It’s all about elegance and sophistication. For men, a tuxedo is always a safe bet. And for women, well, take your pick — anything from an elegant ball gown dripping with diamonds to a Pussy Galore jumpsuit or little black dress.
The menu
Will the hotel cater for different dietary requirements?
Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately.
The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel. It comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.
Booking and admin
How much is the deposit? And when is it due?
To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £45 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.
Can I add additional guests later?
We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes before 1st November and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we can add to your booking — although please bear in mind, we can’t guarantee this.
If you want to add guests, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. We’ll let you straight away if there’s availability. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
What’s the minimum and maximum number of guests I can book for?
The minimum is 8 people. The maximum number for this venue is 800.
