Dust off the decorations and get ready to sparkle — the most wine-derful time of the year is almost here! But, if that sentence has you burying your head in the snow, don’t panic — we’ve got your Christmas party covered.
We love helping you plan small gatherings with colleagues, full-scale corporate celebrations, and everything in between! Everything you need to make this year's party one to remember is available onsite (delicious grazing tables, exceptional wines, beautifully dressed spaces and seamless service!), and we'll take care of every detail so you can focus on what’s important — enjoying the festivities with your friends and colleagues.
Ready to raise a glass? Here’s what makes SugarBird in the Gardens Aberdeen’s favourite Christmas party venue…

Memorable moments
Start your party with something special this year and enjoy a guided wine tasting led by our knowledgeable team — wine-led experiences are a great ice breaker to begin the night! The SugarBird festivities continue with our seasonal grazing tables. Carefully curated by our Co-Founder Alex (who has catered for the Royal Family!), they feature a gorgeous spread of charcuterie, local cheeses and festive canapes. The perfect nibbles to pair with our curated selection of international wines!
Adding to the picturesque atmosphere we’ve created in the bar, we have also worked with some of Aberdeen’s best entertainers, so we can recommend showstopping live music, photographers, videographers, and performers — one more thing Kitty and Beth from our events dream team can tick off your list.
Stress-free party planning… Our Christmas gift to you!
