Christmas Eve – Friday 24th December 2010

You are invited to arrive during the afternoon of Friday 24th December. Tea, coffee and homemade biscuits will be available in the drawing rooms for thirsty travellers. At 7.00pm our welcome ‘Black Tie’ Champagne reception will be held in the ‘Old Castle Tudor Kitchen’ during which you will be entertained by carollers.
To follow, our Head Chef will prepare for you a fabulous five course gourmet dinner.
Later, those inclined will be welcome to take a stroll to the Midnight Mass service at either of the two local churches (Church of England or Roman Catholic). But do return to the castle for mince pies and hot toddies by the fireside before retiring to your bedchamber to await the sound of sleigh-bells.

Christmas Day – Saturday 25th December 2010

Awake to enjoy a leisurely Continental breakfast which will be served in your bedchamber. At 12.00 Noon we will all meet in front of the Christmas tree in the lounge where you will be presented with a glass of Sherry and a Christmas gift with our compliments.
At approximately 1.00pm our full Christmas ‘feast’ will be served with all the trimmings, courtesy of Head Chef John Lyons and his brigade.
For the afternoons entertainment those who wish may embark on our Tudor Quest: A search for a mysterious lost jewel ‘the heart of Jasper Tudor’ believed to be hidden in the castle grounds.
In the evening we will be serving cocktails and an informal, light supper, after which we will have a Port tasting.

Boxing Day – Sunday 26th December 2010

A ‘Hunter’s Breakfast’ will be served after which you may wish to take a stroll around the village to enjoy the ‘Heritage ‘Trail’ or simply relax around the castle and grounds.
After a light lunch there will be a falconry display on the Castle lawn where you will marvel at these magnificent birds of prey in action.
In the evening we will hold a farewell gala dinner.
