Christmas Eve

• Arrive at your leisure and ease into the festivities with a delicious Afternoon Tea served beside a crackling log fire in one of the castle's cosy lounges. Bedrooms will be available from 3 pm, giving you time to relax and savour the warmth and wonder of your surroundings;
• As evening approaches, gather in the candlelit Tudor Hall for a heartwarming performance from local carol singers, accompanied by mulled wine or hot chocolate. Later, you're invited to a refined Champagne and canapé reception, followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner with live music to set the festive tone;
• For those who wish to attend a Christmas service, St Mary's Church, just steps away, offers a beautiful midnight mass.

Christmas Day

• Begin Christmas morning with a leisurely breakfast, perhaps after exchanging gifts in the comfort of your room;
• Join fellow guests around the grand Christmas trees in the lounge for a Champagne reception, before sitting down to an indulgent four-course Christmas lunch, served at pre-booked times and filled with all the traditional trimmings;
• In the afternoon, relax in the Tudor Hall and enjoy the live broadcast of the King's Christmas message. For those in the mood for a little adventure, embark on Thornbury's enchanting Tudor Quest, a treasure hunt through the castle grounds in search of the legendary lost jewel;
• Prefer a slower pace? Sink into a fireside armchair with a board game, a classic novel, or simply the peaceful ambience of the season.
• As night falls, enjoy a festive cocktail before a relaxed buffet supper in the lounges, accompanied by live acoustic music.

Boxing Day
