Christmas is an exciting time of year to get together with friends, family and workmates, to celebrate the festive season. If your workplace has asked you to organise this year's Christmas party (or perhaps you volunteered!), then there is a big decision ahead of you. Do you choose somewhere close to work, so you can all walk there after knock-off? Or do you meet somewhere else, and make a night of it?
These are just some of the ideas of where to go for a Christmas party around Newcastle city. Where will you end up booking this year?
