Our Christmas party nights can accommodate up to 70 guests and include a delicious festive three course menu prepared by our talented team of chefs.
Doors open at 6:30pm with dinner served at 7:30pm, then dance the night away with our resident DJ on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays (and Sunday to Wednesday if you’ve booked a private Christmas party with 50 guests or more).
You’ll have your own dedicated events manager, named place cards, and if you choose to hold your Christmas party in our Vine Restaurant, then all your guests will receive a Buck’s Fizz welcome drink.
If you’re looking for a quieter midweek celebration, you might be interested in our Christmas lunch or dinner.
The Marlborough Room is the perfect Christmas party venue with its own private entrance, bar, toilets and direct access to our stunning courtyard.
It’s away from the main part of the hotel so you’ll enjoy a little more privacy too.
Seats up to 70 guests.
The Vine Restaurant is one of the oldest rooms in our 13th century hotel, with high ceilings and original oak beams.
It’s a very traditional room which looks stunning over the festive season.
Seats up to 60 guests.
For private Christmas parties (minimum 50 guests), speak to our team about any little extras you might like such as casino tables, cheese platters or a photobooth.
