23 December — Arrival day
A welcoming arrival
Start your festive escape in style with a complimentary welcome drink - alcoholic or non-alcoholic - perfectly paired with a cosy seasonal treat to make you feel right at home.
23 December — Arrival day
Feel the magic
Every corner of the hotel is dressed for the season. The lounges, the dining rooms, the corridors - it all feels like Christmas in a way that takes years of care and attention to get right. This is the part that's hardest to describe and easiest to feel.
23 December — Arrival day
Settle in early
Relax and recharge after your journey in our cosy coffee lounges, open from 10am to treat you to a peaceful start to your holiday! Rooms will be available from midday, and we’ll do our best to offer earlier access if possible.
24 December — Christmas Eve
Moments of merriment
Soak up the warmth of the season with a programme brimming with festive sparkle - from themed quizzes and cosy Christmas films to traditional carol singing, all bringing the magic of Christmas to life.
24 December — Christmas Eve
Be enchanted
The anticipation of Christmas Eve, done properly. Take your seat as a spectacular evening of festive entertainment lights up the stage, keeping the Christmas Eve excitement alive.
25 December — Christmas Day
Christmas Day feast
Kick off Christmas morning with a sparkle as you enjoy a delightful Bucks Fizz reception to set the holiday mood! For lunch, prepare to indulge as a four-course Christmas Day lunch awaits (pre-booking required). And if you're still hungry later on, in true Christmas party style, there'll also be a finger buffet in the evening.
25 or 26 December — Christmas Day or Boxing Day
Spectacular fireworks display
Wrap up warm and head outdoors to watch the sky come alive. On Christmas Day or Boxing Day, a breath taking fireworks display will burst into colour above the grounds (weather permitting) - a magical moment to celebrate the occasion.
26 December — Boxing Day
Slow it down
A slower pace awaits. Spend the day your way, whether that's joining in with activities, lingering over a long lunch, or unwinding in the spa or lounge. And what's the festive season without a little indulgence? Boxing Day is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a festive afternoon tea, savouring those final moments of Christmas before the season slips away.
27 December — Departure
Leave well rested
Time for one last indulgent breakfast before it's time to say goodbye. Relaxed, well-fed and quietly reluctant to leave, you'll head home feeling refreshed and full of festive memories. And if you're not quite ready for the experience to end, a visit to the Future Breaks team could be the perfect way to start planning your next getaway.
Festive dining & drinks
Feast together this Christmas
Food is at the heart of every Christmas Break. From leisurely festive breakfasts to the centrepiece of Christmas Day lunch, every meal is designed to feel like an occasion — without any of the effort landing on you.
Make it extra special
Your most magical Christmas deserves your best room
If there's ever a time to upgrade, it's Christmas. Our signature rooms, suites and garden lodges offer extra space, premium touches and the kind of arrival moment that sets the tone for the whole stay. This is the break — treat yourself to the room to match.
Spa & wellness
Indulge in a little Christmas calm
Christmas is wonderfully full-on — which makes the spa all the more valuable. The pool and heat rooms offer a quiet counterpoint to the celebrations: somewhere to retreat between meals, decompress before an evening show or simply drift for as long as you like.

FAQs ABOUT CHRISTMAS BREAKS
What’s the difference between a Classic and a Reserve Christmas break?
Classic breaks offer a fun, sociable and familiar festive experience - with traditional entertainment, festive full-board dining**, and a buzzing atmosphere.
Reserve breaks provide a more refined stay, with upgraded festive dining, unique experiences, and a calmer, premium feel.
Here's a comparison table of some of the differences:

| Festive dance workshop | ✔ | ✘ |
Is everything included in both break types?
Every New Year break includes accommodation, breakfast & dinner, daily seasonal entertainment and selected festive activities. Classic New Year breaks are full board (excluding Studley Castle).
Our Reserve New Year breaks are half board at Heythrop Park, The Runnymede on Thames and Thoresby Hall, and also include some indulgent touches such as prosecco on arrival, elevated menus and some bespoke experiences (some of which are chargeable).
Is the entertainment the same on both breaks?
All breaks include live entertainment and seasonal shows. For an overview of what entertainment is being shown during your break, check out the breaks grid above and select 'Nightly entertainment / Show full itinerary'.
The activities experiences on a Classic break are more familiar, with quizzes and a pantomime matinee. Reserve breaks offer some premium experiences for guests seeking a more refined celebration.
How do I know which break is right for me?
If you enjoy a warm, sociable atmosphere with all the festive favourites, a Classic break might be the perfect fit.
If you're after something a little more special - with a touch of indulgence and personalisation - a Reserve break may suit you better.
