From artisan markets and creative workshops to festive food and community events, there’s something for everyone. Whether you come along solo to meet new people at a wreath-making workshop or gather friends, family, and colleagues to make memories, Unity Place promises a warm and welcoming festive experience in the heart of Milton Keynes.
Festive Food & Drink
The festive season is all about indulgence and great company. At the 
Urban Food Market, seasonal flavours take centre stage with Festive Buns and Yuletide Wraps & Dogs — from The Merry Clucker burger to hearty Christmas Yorkshire Pudding Wraps.
Over at Rye’s Deli, visitors can enjoy a festive drinks menu and seasonal sweet treats, perfect for a mid-morning pick-me-up or a cosy afternoon catch-up.
Meanwhile, the 
Sky Lounge offers a specially curated Christmas cocktail menu, ideal for after-work drinks or a festive date night overlooking the city lights.
A Place to Celebrate and Connect
As a hub for co-working, networking, and social gatherings, 
Unity Place invites local businesses and the community to celebrate the season together. With stylish interiors, curated menus, and vibrant spaces, it’s the perfect destination for festive lunches, private events, and end-of-year get-togethers.
Supporting Local Makers
This Christmas, Unity Place is putting a spotlight on Milton Keynes’ creative talent. The festive pop-up markets will showcase local artisans selling handcrafted gifts, festive décor, and seasonal treats, while creative crafters will host wreath-making workshops, offering guests a chance to connect through creativity.
Adam Holbrook, Head of Placemaking at Unity Place, said:
“Christmas is all about connection and that’s exactly what Unity Place was built for. Whether it’s colleagues coming together for festive drinks, local makers sharing their craft, or someone joining a wreath-making workshop to meet new people, Unity Place is all about bringing people together and celebrating what makes Milton Keynes special.”
