Work and office Christmas Parties are being cancelled across the UK as venues and businesses try to guess what will or will not be allowed at the end of 2020.
Large gatherings of people are likely to be restricted for the foreseeable future, and this is leading to those who have forward-booked large work and office parties being told their party plans will not now happen.
For those who cannot meet up in person, there are plans to celebrate the usual office and work Christmas games but using home working virtual technology to bring Christmas cheer to all.
