Experience the magic of the Finnish holiday season at Botta Events. Located in the heart of Helsinki, our historic venue provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere for any pre-Christmas party. We offer flexible dining options to ensure your festive celebration is exactly as you envisioned.
Two Ways to Dine – Buffet or Plated Dinner
To help you create the perfect atmosphere, we offer two distinct dining styles for your pre-Christmas celebration:
Christmas Buffet: A rich selection of seasonal delicacies from a bountiful buffet table. This is the perfect choice for a relaxed event where guests can socialise freely and choose their favourite flavours.
Plated Christmas Dinner: A formal and elegant choice where our team serves a curated menu directly to your table. This is ideal for gala evenings and those who appreciate a more structured dining experience.

Venues for Groups of All Sizes
Whether you are planning a large corporate gala or an intimate dinner with your closest colleagues, we have the ideal space for your pre-Christmas party. Our Ballroom is perfect for grand celebrations with music and dancing, while our private rooms offer a cosy and elegant setting for smaller groups. For those looking to keep the celebration going into the night, you can also arrange after-parties at the exclusive Tina Club or in the atmospheric Manala cellar.
