Frequently asked questions
Can you arrange a Christmas party at Trent Bridge or Nottingham Forest?
Yes. Both venues run corporate Christmas hospitality packages — typically 100–800 guests across the various suites — and we can shortlist them alongside Lace Market and city-centre options in a single brief. Brief us May–July 2026 for first-choice dates.
Typical Nottingham Christmas party budgets in 2026?
Day-package events typically from £50–£100 per person. Premium festive dinners with entertainment from £110–£200 per person. Exclusive hire typically from £140–£280 per person.
How much does the venue-finding service cost?
Zero. The service is 100% free to the client — no booking fees, no retainer, no hidden costs. Venues pay us a commission, which means our rates are typically the same or better than what you would get directly. You see net rates, full T&Cs, and we negotiate on your behalf.
Can you handle dietary requirements, accessibility and DBS-checked entertainment?
Yes. Every shortlist meets stated dietary, religious, accessibility and security requirements. We work with vetted entertainment suppliers (live bands, DJs, magicians, casino tables, photo booths) where requested, and verify accessibility compliance, fire safety and insurance for every shortlisted venue.
What if we need to cancel or change date?
We negotiate flexible terms wherever possible — reduced deposits, date-change rights, cancellation-insurance recommendations. We have your interests in the room.
Do you work with public-sector and regulated procurement?
Yes. Jigsaw Conferences is on multiple framework agreements and works with NHS trusts, government departments, councils, financial-services firms and law firms with strict procurement and DBS requirements. ISO 27001 certified. Full due-diligence documentation available on request.
