Christmas Eve
Your evening commences with an invitation from your host, the General Manager and his team, to a warm winter Pimms and canapés reception, where you have the opportunity to meet with friends old and new.
We’ll help you keep in the Christmas mood as you make your way to the beautifully decorated Ballroom to enjoy an exquisite candlelit dinner which will be accompanied by traditional Christmas carols as you dine.
After dinner, relax in our lounges with coffee and petit fours. As the midnight hour approaches, wrap up warm for an escorted trip to St Andrew’s Church (just a short walk from the hotel) for the wonderful service that is sure to remind you of bygone Christmases. Return to the George Hotel for rum flavoured hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
Christmas Day
Enjoy a fun packed morning opening gifts from loved
ones before donning your boots to try a walk from our very own walking book, taking you to panoramic views of the surrounding area.
After your efforts it’s time to meet in the lounges for Champagne and canapés whilst you make your choices from the sumptuous six course Christmas Day lunch menu which is served in the magnificent Ballroom.
Following a leisurely afternoon, you can join us later in the evening for a ‘Taste of the Lakes and Fells Buffet’. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to taste some traditional Cumbrian specialities, prepared by our Head Chef and his team. End the day with our infamous Christmas quiz; it’s lots of fun with prizes to be won! A fabulously entertaining evening to round off a very special day.
Boxing Day
Time to brush off the cobwebs and step aboard our private coach, as we
travel through the lovely Lake District to the Award Winning Trotters Wildlife Park. Set in 25 acres with over 100 species of animals including endangered species, such as gibbons and vultures, there is something for everyone!
There’s no need to worry about where to eat next – we will provide you with lunch at the park before you experience the Birds of Prey flying display and enjoy the lemur and reptile encounter with your designated guide of the park.
Later in the afternoon we will drive to the historic market town of Keswick where you can browse the many interesting shops at your leisure. Returning to the hotel you will be served tea and hot buttered crumpets as you warm up by the roaring fire. In the evening, enjoy a four course candlelit farewell dinner served in the festive Ballroom.
