Overview

Our fabulous Christmas party will be held at The Met Hotel right in the Centre of Leeds. This luxury hotel is renowned for its Victorian terracotta facade and stone cupola taken from the city's demolished 4th White Cloth Hall. Today, The Met Hotel is still a much-loved landmark in Leeds' cityscape, blending its original design with contemporary interiors to create a 4-star city centre retreat.

We have an exclusive Spice party in Met 1. We’ll meet for our drinks reception at 7:15pm in the foyer area to the right of reception before sitting down to a three course meal at 8pm. A welcome drink is included so please come and let your Coordinators know you are here when you arrive. Additional drinks can be purchased from the Tempus bar and there will also be a mobile bar in our party room once dinner is served .for you to purchase drinks for the rest of the evening. Also included with the meal is a half bottle of wine per person. After dinner the Resident DJ will play until 1.00am so you can dance and party the night away. The bar closes at 12:30am but you will be able to buy drinks in the Resident's bar (Tempus) if you are staying over. There will be sharing pizza boards at midnight in case you are feeling peckish after lots of dancing!

Why not make a weekend of it and stay over? The Met Hotel is a stylish 4 star hotel located on King Street and a short walking distance from Leeds Railway Station on City Square. All rooms have modern amenities and free wifi. As this is a popular night on the party calendar the room rate is higher than normal. We have now had to hand back unsold rooms. We may be able to get more on request but they are likely to be a a higher rate.
