Christmas in Kent
Celebrate Christmas
at The BarnYard
Come December, the glass Arboretum fills with fairy lights and the Apple Barn glows with garlands. Book a shared party night with the disco, take the cosy Apple Barn all to yourselves, or gather the family for festive high tea, a proper Christmas lunch or a Christmas Eve brunch. Whichever you choose, we've a festive table with your name on it.
A BarnYard Christmas party

Twinkling lights, a four course feast and a dancefloor that doesn't quit. Here's what one of our shared party nights really looks like.

Mixed Party Nights,
join the party
The easiest way to celebrate. Doors open at 6:30pm and you're welcomed into the glass Arboretum, dressed top to bottom in fairy lights, with a glass of fizz in hand. Pre-dinner drinks at the bar, a four course festive feast, then the lights dim and the disco takes over. Join other groups for one big, brilliant night out.
- A four course festive feast
- A glass of fizz on arrival
- An in-house disco till late
- A sparkling, fully decorated pavilion
Exclusive Party Nights,
all to yourselves
For a company or a group of friends and family who'd rather have the place to themselves. The Apple Barn is dressed with trees, fairy lights and sparkle. Arrive from 7pm to our in-house DJ, a welcome drink and a festive buffet, then party without the hassle of table plans or a sit-down meal, when all you want to do is dance and mingle.

A Christmas party near Medway,
out among the orchards
If you're organising the office Christmas party for a team in the Medway towns, we're closer than you might think. The BarnYard sits in the orchards at Upchurch, just off the M2, and colleagues coming from Rochester or Strood follow the same easy road as everyone else.
- Rainhamabout 5 minutes
- Sittingbourneabout 12 minutes
- Gillinghamabout 15 minutes
- Chathamabout 20 minutes
- Maidstoneabout 25 minutes via the A249 and M2
Most work parties end up in a town-centre function room because it's near the office. Ours is a short drive further and a different night altogether. A four course feast and a disco under thousands of fairy lights in the glass Arboretum for £70 per person, or the oak-beamed Apple Barn all to yourselves from £3,000 for up to 50 guests, then £25 a head up to 180. Every guest parks free on site, and it's a short taxi home to Rainham, Gillingham or Chatham when the music stops.
New season dates are released in advance each year and the Saturdays always go first. Tell us how many of you there are and roughly when you'd like to come, and we'll reply with dates, menus and availability.
Make this Christmas one to remember
Christmas at The BarnYard books out months in advance, especially the Saturdays. Whether it's a shared party night, the whole place to yourselves or a festive lunch with the team, let's get your celebration in the diary before the dates disappear.
