Top 5 Christmas Work Do Ideas in Bedfordshire (2026)
Looking for Christmas work do ideas in Bedfordshire that give colleagues something to talk about beyond the office? An activity before dinner can make a festive get-together feel more relaxed, especially when your team includes people who do not usually work together.
Here are our five picks for 2026. This is Bermuda Blades’ own shortlist, with our axe throwing experience first and four different alternatives to help you choose.
1. Axe throwing at Bermuda Blades, Henlow
Swap the meeting room for a throwing lane. At Bermuda Blades at Perfect Aquatics in Henlow, your team gets coached practice, friendly scoring games and a tournament. Beginners are welcome: the instructor explains the equipment and technique before the competition begins.
Both outdoor throwing lanes are covered. Dress for the temperature, because covered does not mean heated indoors. Free on-site parking makes arrival straightforward for colleagues travelling from Bedford, Biggleswade, Shefford or nearby Hertfordshire.
Corporate axe throwing prices
One hour, recommended for up to 12 players: £119 Monday to Thursday or £139 Friday to Sunday.
Two hours, recommended for up to 24 players: £199 Monday to Thursday or £229 Friday to Sunday.
These are group prices, not prices per person. Packages include two lanes, coaching, four throwing weapons, scorecards, stats certificates, exclusive venue use, mini-games and a tournament. For example, a full 12-person weekday one-hour group works out at about £9.92 each.
Corporate bookings are available by pre-arranged appointment. Email throw@bermudablades.co.uk with your date, time and group size. Adventure golf, the café and bar are on the wider site; arrange and budget for any extras separately.
2. An escape room in Bedford
Don’t Get Locked In offers themed escape rooms in Bedford. It is a good option for a team that enjoys puzzles, clues and working towards a shared goal. Room capacities vary, so larger departments should ask about booking several rooms rather than assuming everyone will fit into one game.
3. A Christmas bowling get-together
Bowling suits colleagues who want a familiar activity with a little competition. Tenpin’s Christmas packages combine games and food. Use the location selector to choose a suitable Bedfordshire centre and check the package offered there, including dates, group size and dietary options.
4. A festive meal at d’Parys, Bedford
If conversation and food are your priority, d’Parys in Bedford is a local option for a Christmas work meal. Ask about the current menu, deposits and dietary requirements before collecting colleagues’ choices. A sit-down meal also works well after an earlier activity.
5. A festive gathering at Brewpoint, Bedford
Brewpoint offers Christmas get-togethers in Bedford. This suits teams looking for a social setting with food and drinks. Confirm the available format directly, and consider non-drinkers, transport home and any age restrictions when planning.
How to choose your office Christmas party
Start with a headcount, preferred date and total budget. Ask about accessibility and dietary needs, decide whether you want an activity, a meal or both, and book transport before the evening. Check current availability and terms with each venue; the four alternatives are booked independently.
