Choosing the Right Scale for a Company CNY Event

The best CNY programme is not the one with the longest activity list. It is the one that fits your headcount, space, time and team culture. Most corporate celebrations fall into one of three scales.

Festive office pop-up

A compact activation of a few hours in a pantry, lobby or shared office area. One strong workshop, a photo corner or a small set of stations creates a sense of occasion without stopping the workday. This suits companies that want an accessible festive touchpoint with a light footprint.

Company-wide celebration

A multi-activity event combining a hosted lo hei, interactive stations, entertainment and refreshments. Colleagues may attend together or rotate through in scheduled groups. The programme rhythm needs to work around lift capacity, office circulation and the areas that must remain operational.

Full Chinese New Year experience

A complete event with creative direction, styling, programme management, entertainment, activities, food and on-site production. This works for larger staff celebrations, leadership gatherings and family events where one integrated team holds the whole plan together.

Popular activity ideas

• Lo hei: a clear run sheet, table layout and host keep the toss lively and organised. Large groups may need staggered sessions.

• Office CNY carnival: game booths, craft stations and roaming entertainment in a steady-flow format.

• Workshops: hands-on festive crafts that colleagues can take home.

• Festive team challenge: quizzes and missions built around CNY themes.

• Lion dance: an arrival or opening highlight, coordinated with access, timing and sound limits.

• Family-friendly day: activities for employees' children, with quieter options and safe movement.

Book early

Start planning well ahead if you need a popular weekday, a large programme, substantial styling or specialist entertainment such as lion dance troupes.
