Thornbury Castle New Year Package 2025

Step into a New Year of timeless grandeur at the magnificent Thornbury Castle, the only Tudor castle in England to operate as a luxury hotel. Steeped in over 500 years of history, this extraordinary retreat invites you to walk in the footsteps of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, along corridors and through grounds once graced by royalty.

Celebrate the season in true Tudor splendour, surrounded by roaring log fires, exquisite cuisine, and regal bedchambers that blend historic charm with modern comfort. From elegant dining experiences to atmospheric lounges and crackling hearths, every moment promises indulgence and enchantment.

Conveniently located in South West England near the historic city of Bath, Thornbury Castle is easily accessible from all major cities. From London, enjoy a scenic 90-minute train journey to Bristol, followed by a short 30-minute taxi ride, or opt for a direct two-hour drive to the castle gates.
