A night of festive elegance with the return of our Winter Ball!
Join us on Friday 11th December 2026 as we host this year’s Winter Ball where you’ll embark on an unforgettable evening of festive cheer, exquisite food and drink, and spectacular entertainment.
If you’re staying with us, arrive from 5pm to settle into your room, step into your most dazzling attire, and take a leisurely stroll around the grounds to see the house dressed in its whimsical finery.
From 6pm, enjoy a festive welcome drink and seasonal canapés to pull you into the Christmas spirit. Be sure to take it all in before making your way to the Dining Room at 7pm, where a beautifully crafted three-course dinner awaits.
Our Head Chef has carefully curated each dish to showcase rich, seasonal flavours into one lavish menu. Be sure to savour every indulgent bite.
After dinner, the celebrations continue into the night with incredible entertainment along with a lively disco spinning all the classics that’ll have you on the dance floor all evening. Bring your dancing shoes and get ready to celebrate in style.
Our highly anticipated Winter Ball is the perfect setting for family Christmas celebrations, a festive evening with friends, or a memorable end-of-year gathering with colleagues. Whatever the occasion, we’ll be on hand to help you raise a glass (and top them up) to the year gone by.
