The Office Christmas Party

The Hub on Verulam is screening the comedy Office Christmas Party on Saturday 5 December, with the showing taking place in The Box, the venue's boutique cinema room. It's a Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman comedy, so you've got two of the biggest names in American sitcoms sharing the screen in a festive setting. If you're looking for a low-key way to get into the Christmas spirit a few weeks before the big day, this is a straightforward one.

It's worth knowing a bit about where you're heading, because The Hub on Verulam isn't just a cinema. It's an all-day dining destination in St Albans that houses the Vesper evening restaurant alongside its boutique cinema rooms and a co-working space. The cinema side of things is run as a monthly in-house Film Club, curated by Finn Barrow, and they also host Cinema Supper Club evenings that pair film with food and a festive atmosphere. This screening fits right into that mix—a cinema room tucked inside a place that's as much about eating and drinking as it is about watching.

The Hub is at 5 Verulam Road, AL3 4DA, right in the heart of town, so it's easy enough to get to without much fuss. Tickets are £12, and the screening falls on Saturday 5 December, just as the Christmas rush starts to kick in across the city. If you're already planning your December, it's one of those easy additions to a Saturday afternoon or evening.
