Looking for Christmas party ideas in Glasgow for 2024? Westender Magazine has you covered.

By Isla McGraw

‘Tis the season to be on the lookout for festive plans. I know what you’re thinking, it’s far too early to even mention the word Christmas. But every year before we know it, the festive season creeps up on us and we’ve yet to book the family reunion or send out invites to our Christmas party. No one wants to book late and be left with nowhere to go especially during the most magical time of the year. To make sure you don’t miss out, here’s three jolly spots where there’s more than meets the eye.

Christmas Party Ideas in Glasgow 2024

eeek! Escape Rooms

Looking for something a bit different for your Christmas night out? eeek! Escape Rooms is Glasgow’s thrilling immersive gaming experience and is perfect for having a laugh with friends, enjoying quality family time, improving team building, or a special date night.

This independent, family-run business was created out of a love for entertainment and a creative flair for puzzles. Each themed game is designed right here in Glasgow and is kitted out with sets and props to transport you to another world. There are three escape rooms to choose from: The Ghost of Mary Queen of Scots, Magician’s Heist, and Stuck in the ‘90s.

You can visit eeek! Escape Rooms at their Glasgow venue on Sauchiehall Street and play one of their themed rooms or a team of games masters can come to you for a mobile escape dinner games experience.

eeek! puzzles bring a whole new meaning to entertainment with the traditional escape room concept reinvented as a tabletop game, so you can enjoy the thrill whilst sharing a meal with family and friends.

The mobile event games are a modern twist on classic parlour games, making them the perfect addition to a unique dinner party. Players are divided into teams and challenged to solve a series of puzzles and clues hidden around their dinner table. 

You feel like your right in the heart of the plot, but I must warn you it’ll bring out a competitive side—trust me, I know. 

The challenging nature of the game forces you to work as a team all while the clock is ticking, but don’t panic if you feel out of your depth, the eeek! team are on duty to throw helpful clues your way…but nothing comes that easy.

So, if you’re looking to go head-to-head with your colleagues, partner, family or friends—in a friendly way of course—look no further.

eeek! Escape Rooms have crafted everything perfectly, so the story unravels with every mystery you solve.

Topgolf

Topgolf is a first-class entertainment hotspot in Glasgow where you can enjoy golf, watch live sports, and eat and drink under one roof.

The whole space has been designed as an entertainment venue not just a driving range. Along with the bays, there’s a lower lounge with a sports bar and restaurant, roof terrace and private event rooms, and depending on when you visit you can experience a DJ or live sports broadcast. 

Catering for groups of 14 all the way up to 144, there are over 70 bays across three floors, and you have a two hour play time to perfect your skills or compete against other players with a live leaderboard to keep you in check.

You’ll be met with Callaway golf clubs or if you’re an avid golfer then feel free to bring along your own, and a dedicated host will be there to show you how it’s done. Pick from various games, take aim at the giant targets and watch your score appear on screen. 

For those who would rather watch from the sidelines but still enjoy the experience all the same then as the Topgolf saying goes, six can play and eight can stay. The venue isn’t just for golfers or enthusiasts of the sport—it’s for everyone, all ages, and all abilities.

The heated bays will keep you warm all through winter and if you’re craving some nibbles but having too much fun swinging, then stay put and order food and drinks from your bay.

The menu won’t disappoint with breakfast options like a full Scottish and French toast with strawberries and honey. If you’re looking for something to set you up then the double smokehouse or spicy bean burger will do the trick. Sharing plates include nachos, hot dogs, chicken wings, flatbreads and more, and there’s small dishes like shrimp tacos, haggis pakora, and mac n cheese and jalapeno bites. To finish with something sweat choose from the sharing cookie skillet, churros, or sticky toffee pudding. There’s also an extensive drinks list with all the classic cocktails and signatures like Togolf Tea.

If you’re looking to host a large number of guests, you can count on a full floor of bays for the special occasion. For two bays your package will include a food platter, for three or more, you can expect a buffet, all delivered to you. 

Prizes and trophies are on offer for events so make sure to play your best.
