James Bond Christmas Party in Cardiff
Dig out the tuxedo, dust off the diamonds, eat, drink and dance until the small hours. The James Bond Christmas Party is coming to Cardiff.
There’s a sumptuous 3-course dinner, unlimited drinks, themed decor, live music and all the after-dinner entertainment you can handle.
You can leave the Aston Martin DB9 at home. The James Christmas Party in Cardiff is a hop and a skip away from the city centre at The Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel.
What to expect at the James Bond Party in Cardiff
You’ll be welcomed with a sparkling glass of Prosecco as you make a red carpet VIP entrance.
When the banqueting room doors open to the iconic Bond theme, the 007-style decor is as cool as James Bond himself.
The bar is open for your all-inclusive drinks — and while you indulge in a delicious 3-course dinner, those classic Bond film favourites play in the background.
The drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed… but the entertainment is just beginning.
Our live party band takes to the stage. You’ll struggle to leave the dance floor as they raise the temperature from cool Bond to red hot hits from across the decades.
Meanwhile, 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 Cardiff venue
The James Bond party in Cardiff takes place at The Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel, a 4-star luxury hotel in a prime city-centre location.
It’s easy to get there and back. Queen Street Rail Station is a 10-minute walk away.
It’s a great place for a party — chandeliers, glass panelling and dragon motifs adorn the event space. For a pre-party cocktail, we recommend the recently refurbished lounge bar.
If you fancy an overnight stay, the hotel has 172 comfortable bedrooms plus a leisure suite with jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, aerobics and fitness studio.

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!

Is there a dress code?
There is no dress code. However, a James Bond party is a great excuse to dress up.

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.

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.
