Give your team something lovely to look forward to this Christmas. ✨

An evening away from the everyday, with gorgeous food, festoon lights and time to enjoy the people you spend your working week with.

Christmas After Dark brings local businesses and their teams together at Waingarara Valley for a shared Christmas work party in a beautiful country setting. Gather your colleagues and partners, get dressed up and let us take care of the organising.

Enjoy dinner and dessert by chef Tom Williamson, a little friendly competition with Christmas bingo, outdoor entertainment, music and dancing. With indoor and outdoor spaces to wander between, there’s room to catch up, soak up the atmosphere and settle into the evening.

Our bars will have festive cocktails and cold beers available. Treat your team with a company bar tab, or let everyone purchase their own drinks, with EFTPOS available.
