Joiner Christmas Party Packages in Berkshire!
Planning a work Christmas party for your team but don’t need to hire a whole venue? A shared or joiner Christmas party can be a great way to celebrate with colleagues while still enjoying a full evening of food, entertainment and festive fun.
At Trunkwell House, just outside Reading in Berkshire, our 2026 shared Christmas parties bring groups together for an evening inspired by the circus, with our ‘The Lost Showman’ theme taking over the Grand Marquee.

What is a shared Christmas party?
A shared Christmas party, sometimes called a joiner Christmas party, allows companies and groups to book individual places or tables at a larger Christmas party night rather than hiring the venue exclusively.
This makes joiner parties particularly useful for smaller teams who want the atmosphere and entertainment of a large Christmas event without organising a private party themselves.
At Trunkwell House, our shared Christmas party nights are designed for companies, teams and groups looking to celebrate Christmas together in Berkshire.
