Leading Christmas Party Specialist Celebrates 10th Birthday - Best Parties Ever

Online, October 15, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Leading Christmas party specialist Best Parties Ever is celebrating its 10th birthday this year. The company has entertained over 500,000 guests at its spectacular themed Christmas parties since it launched in 1999. To mark the occasion a number of exclusive offers have been announced for Christmas 2009 along with the new themes and dates at 14 locations.

Whilst companies may be looking to tighten purse strings in times of economic downturn, Tim Stevens, Managing Director of Best Parties Ever, believes it is important to look after staff: "We understand it is a tough economic climate for everyone at the moment with cut-backs and redundancies a daily reality. In light of this, it is now more important than ever for companies to reward staff for their hard work and loyalty and boost team morale. A Christmas party is a great way to do this and for the company to come together as a whole regardless of age or hierarchy. And it does not have to be expensive; our parties for example start from as little as £34.50 per person. When you match that against an average salary, a company's spend on a Christmas party broadly equates to about three hours pay per employee."

The company has announced five new themes - 'Party at the Pyramids,' 'Wild in Africa,' 'Red Hot in Rio,' 'One Night in Bangkok' and 'Cirque Noel' - as well as four further locations in Billericay, Southampton, Milton Keynes and Manchester to add to its portfolio. Ticket prices have been frozen from 2008 for all parties, to offer further accessibility for companies and guests will receive half price photographs and half price tokens for the famous Best Parties Ever dodgems. "Some Christmas party companies have had to scale back this year, but bookings for our parties are brisk so we are optimistic," comments Stevens. "Whilst the recession looks set to continue for the foreseeable future, we hold the belief that come autumn, companies will feel the need to boost morale and reward staff" he continues.

The 2009 season will run from Thursday 26 November 2009 until Saturday 19 December 2009, at 14 venues across, catering for corporates of all sizes. Prices start from £34.50 (+ VAT) per person:
