Corporate Events We Host
From quiet family anniversaries to a full party function room in Luton with a DJ and a busy dance floor, the space adapts to the occasion.
If what you are planning isn’t listed, get in touch, and we will tell you honestly whether the space suits it.
Worth saying plainly: we are a private party venue rather than a conference or training venue, so we’re better suited to celebrations and evening events than to daytime meetings or team-building sessions.
What It Costs
Venue hire is free for eligible bookings of 50 guests or more, so the cost is what your team spends at the bar rather than a room fee. Bookings of 40 to 49 guests are charged at £500, and there’s a minimum of 40 guests.
For smaller teams, contact us with your numbers and date, and we will tell you what is possible.

Choose Your Package
For a company event, ask us to set the quote out per head — it is usually the figure you will be asked for.
Corporate Event Venue Hire in Luton
Organising the office party usually lands on someone who already has a full-time job. So here’s what matters most, up front: we will give you a written quote you can forward, confirm your date quickly, and take the venue side off your hands.
After Dark is hired exclusively for corporate events, so the venue is closed to the public and it’s only your team in the room. There is a fully licensed bar and bar staff, a professional sound system, a dance floor, mood lighting and an in-house DJ available.
We’re on Upper George Street in Luton town centre, a few minutes’ walk from Luton railway station — which makes the evening easier for staff travelling from across Luton or in from London and the surrounding towns.
Office and Work Party Venue Hire
An office party has to work for a room full of people who did not choose each other. That usually means somewhere with enough seating for the people who want to talk, a dance floor for the people who want to dance, and a bar that doesn’t have a forty-minute queue at nine o’clock.
Hiring the venue privately solves the last one, because our bar serves your team and nobody else. It also means no door queue for staff arriving straight from the office, and no other company’s party in the same building.
The room can be set up seated, standing, or a mix, and the evening can start earlier than a normal club night if that suits people getting home afterwards.
Office and Work Christmas Party Venue in Luton
December dates in Luton go early. Most companies that end up disappointed left it until November, by which point the good Saturdays have been taken since October.
If you are planning a work Christmas party, the useful order of events is: check the date first, get a written quote second, announce it to the team third. We can confirm availability quickly, and a quote gives you a per-head figure you can take to whoever signs it off.
A few things worth thinking about early:
- Weeknights are easier to get than Fridays and Saturdays, and often work better for staff with families
- Numbers usually drop between the first headcount and the night — build that in
- Not everyone drinks, so check there’s a proper non-alcoholic selection for your team
- Getting home — the town-centre location and the station help, but it’s worth putting transport information in the invite
Team Celebration and Team Event Venue
Not every work event is the Christmas party. Teams book the venue to mark the end of a long project, a target hit, a promotion, a retirement, or simply because they have not done anything together in a year.
These tend to be smaller and less formal than a full company party, and often arranged at short notice. Send us the date and rough numbers, and we will tell you what is possible.
For a team-building day with structured activities, we are not the right venue — but if you are looking for somewhere for the team to go afterwards, we usually are.

Quotes, Invoices and Booking
Written Quotes
Tell us your date, expected numbers and what you’re planning, and we’ll send a written quote you can forward for approval.
A Named Contact
You will deal with the same person from enquiry through to the night itself, so you are not re-explaining the booking each time you email.
Final Numbers
Let us know when you will have a confirmed headcount — most companies firm this up a couple of weeks out.
The Space
The venue accommodates up to 150 guests and can be arranged seated, standing, or open with the dance floor at the centre. Corporate event space hire includes exclusive use, the licensed bar and staff, the sound system and the lighting, with our team handling setup.
If you need anything specific — a microphone for a speech or an awards presentation, a screen or projector for a slideshow, or an earlier start — ask when you enquire.

Looking After Your Team on the Night
A work party is still a work event, and most organisers have that in the back of their mind.
Our bar staff serve responsibly, there’s a full non-alcoholic selection for anyone not drinking, and the venue is staffed throughout. If anyone attending has access or dietary requirements, tell us in advance, and we will do what we can.
For a late finish, it is worth agreeing transport arrangements with the team beforehand — we’re in the town centre with taxis nearby and the station a few minutes away.
A Corporate Venue in Luton Town Centre
We’re on Upper George Street in the centre of Luton, a few minutes’ walk from Luton railway station. For a work event that matters — staff can get home on public transport, and colleagues travelling in from London, Bedford, Milton Keynes or St Albans have a direct route.
We are also easy to reach for teams based around Bury Park, High Town, Stopsley, Leagrave and the Luton business parks, and from Dunstable and Houghton Regis.
