Join-Our-Party Nights - Christmas at DoubleTree

DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln is running its 'join-a-party' Christmas nights throughout the end of the year, starting Friday 27 November. It's a set of shared party evenings rather than a single date, so you can pick the one that fits your schedule best. The nights run on Fridays and Saturdays from late November through mid-December: 27 and 28 November, 4 and 5 December, 11 and 12 December, and 18 and 19 December. Each one goes from 6:30pm until midnight.

The evening follows a familiar pattern: it kicks off with a glass of fizz, moves into a festive three-course meal, and then lets you dance the night away to a resident DJ until the clock hits midnight. It's designed as a 'join-a-party' setup, so it works if you're coming with a small group and happy to share the room with others. The hotel has two spaces for it: the Cathedral Ballroom, which looks over Lincoln Cathedral and holds up to 350 guests, and the smaller Aspen Suite for up to 90. If you're booking for a company, the hotel's events team handles corporate bookings separately.

If you don't live in the city, you can add an overnight stay to the night. Rooms start from £139 on Fridays and £159 on Saturdays, based on double occupancy and including breakfast. The Christmas brochure also lists a few other things on the go: a throwback night with music from the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Whitney and Take That; acoustic festive classics on the rooftop of The Electric; and a Big Band Countdown New Year's Eve Gala.

Tickets for the party nights are £49 per person, which covers the arrival drink and the three-course meal. The venue is DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln, Brayford Wharf North, Lincoln, LN1 1YW, and the nights run 6:30pm to midnight on the dates listed.
