Planning something bigger? Rent the outdoor cinema, Alfresco Works, or the arcade for a private festive setup.

Walk-Ins, Bookable Sections & Full-Venue Hire
The beauty of Alfred Works is its simplicity. One floor but packed with zones that give your night shape.
Long tables – perfect for team dinners, big groups, and those December gatherings where everyone wants to sit together and actually hear each other.
Cosy corners – Smaller seating pockets for relaxed meals, quieter chats, and groups who want a bit of breathing room away from the main energy.
The Bar – the centre of the action. Seasonal cocktails, winter warmers, and classics that keep the night moving. Whether you want a Christmas cocktail or enough wine to completely recalibrate your relationship with December… that’s between you and the bar. We’re just here to keep the glasses full.
The arcade
Because nothing says “festive bonding” like beating your manager at Air-Hocket. It’s playful, loud, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser…especially after a few drinks.
Christmas comes with enough chaos: the shopping, the wrapping, the group chats, the last-minute plans. But your Christmas planning doesn’t have to be stressful.
At Alfred Works, everything sits on one buzzing floor. Fifteen Food Partners keep everyone fed. The arcade brings out the competitive streak you didn’t know you had. Our space flexes around whatever kind of celebration you’re building.
You bring the people.
We’ll bring the atmosphere, the food, and the music.
The season moves fast. And for some reason, December always feels like it’s been cut in half.
The best nights go quickly.
Secure your nights now-and make this Christmas the one that feels effortless, memorable, and unmistakably Alfred works.
