Planning for the Christmas party season means different things to different people – and the McManus Pub Company and its events company MPG Events present options that work for everyone from party organisers to individuals looking to celebrate in style.
McManus pubs have been at the heart of local communities for more than 50 years, distinctive venues across Northamptonshire that range from traditional pubs through to sports bars and vibrant late-night venues.
As it prepares for the festive season, McManus Pub Company is planning a full programme of Christmas menus, party nights, private booking options and fun events so that everyone can find the ideal way to celebrate.
The McManus Pub Company joiner nights are ideal for small groups that want to be part of a big night out. Joiner nights will be held at Th e Brampton Halt on December 10 including a three-course dinner and DJ, and on December 11 including a party buffet, DJ and drinks. Joiner nights with the buffet, DJ and drink will also be held at the Thomas A Becket in Northampton on December 11, 12 and 13, and there will be a party buffet, DJ and cocktails night at Shipmans in Northampton on December 18.
The Wig and Pen on St Giles Street in Northampton has a range of music nights scheduled for December starting with 2HD at 9pm on Friday December 5 right through to the Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve parties with the resident DJ.

The packages include a Christmas-themed function space and novelties, and festive add-ons such as a DJ and entertainment are available. For any bespoke requirements or add-ons, the Sun Inn team are happy to discuss how to tailor the perfect event.
The Brampton Halt will also be holding a Christmas Carols event on Th ursday, November 4 and, on Sunday December 14, there will be a Breakfast with Santa.
Earlier this year, the company launched MPG Events at The Brampton Halt in Northampton, offering a range of different spaces across the company’s wide range of venues to organisers looking for the perfect venue for weddings, birthdays, baby showers and wakes – and to a corporate client base looking to host meetings, team building days or simply somewhere to entertain clients.
The MPG Events message is Think Differently, inviting guests to see the potential in hosting events at a venue where business and pleasure can mix, providing professional business space with meeting rooms, TV screens, projectors and audio-visual equipment, as well as the option to combine that with the chance to socialise and enjoy a drink and a meal before, during or after the event.
Tom McManus said: “We launched MPG Events by inviting people to Think Differently about places they are familiar with as somewhere to go for a drink or a meal, or to gather for a big sports event.
“As they decide how their Christmas celebrations are going to look, businesses can still take advantage of one of our venues – all offering a festive atmosphere and a great menu – but if they want to, they can combine that with a strategy days, end-of-year presentations or entertaining clients. They can book one of our venues, have the place to themselves, and MPG Events will help organise everything, for the Christmas get-together that suits them.
“If they’re just looking for a party night, or a meal and a few drinks, then there are plenty of options for that, too.”
