What is an EOFY party?
An EOFY party, or End of Financial Year Party, is a celebration held by businesses to mark the close of the financial year. It is a time to reflect on the past year’s achievements, reward staff for their hard work, and refresh before entering the next quarter.
EOFY parties can range from a relaxed team picnic to an elegant private lunch or exciting group activities such as cocktail classes and cooking workshops. Whether you’re a corporate office, small business or startup, this is the perfect excuse to get your team together and end the year with a bang.
Why should you celebrate EOFY?
An EOFY party is more than just fun—it’s a smart investment in your company culture. They foster relationships, show appreciation, and re-energise your team. They’re also a great way to reinforce company values and reflect on what your business has achieved.
A well-planned EOFY event can boost team spirit, increase employee satisfaction, and create positive memories associated with your brand. In addition, some costs of EOFY celebrations are tax-deductible, making it a financially beneficial move. An EOFY party can kick-start the new year with renewed motivation.
End of Financial Year Party ideas
There are many creative ways to celebrate EOFY, but here are some fun ideas!
Cocktail making
Shake things up-literally-with a cocktail-making class. It’s a fun and interactive experience that brings everyone together and encourages a relaxed social atmosphere. Suitable for teams of any size, this activity can be an ice-breaker or pre-dinner event. Participants will learn how to make classic Italian cocktails such as Negronis or Aperol Spritz under the guidance of a skilled mixologist.
Bar package
Make things easy and sophisticated with customised bar packages designed according to your team’s preferences. Choose from a curated selection of Italian wines, signature cocktails and boutique beers to enhance your experience. Whether as an addition to a private lunch or the main attraction of a stand-alone event, bar packages add a touch of luxury and relaxation to any celebration. Enhance the experience with optional aperitivo stations to kick off the event or include guided wine tasting flights for a more structured, interactive element that your guests will love.
Cooking masterclasses
Give your EOFY celebration an unforgettable twist with an Italian cooking masterclass from 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar. Perfect for teams who love to get hands-on, our interactive classes are guided by skilled chefs and tailored to your group size and dietary needs. Choose from various masterclasses, including Pizza Making, Gnocchi Making, or Pasta from Scratch — each designed to be fun, engaging, and informative.
All classes include a delicious lunch where you enjoy the food you’ve prepared. We also offer a bar tab and customisable experiences to suit your event. It’s the perfect mix of team building, laughter, and great food—a celebration your team will discuss long after the last bite.
Happy hour
Looking to host a casual and memorable EOFY happy hour? Consider bringing the celebration to your office or venue with authentic Italian catering.
