Christmas Eve
A Start your three day break by arriving on Christmas Eve
and take time to settle into your warm, welcoming room and perhaps explore the pretty market town of Keswick. If you want to arrive a few days earlier you can take advantage of our very special rates and extend your holiday.
During the afternoon, mulled wine and mince pies will be served in the lounge. Later in the evening you are invited to join us for a drinks and canapés reception, when the General Manager will introduce you to his heads of department and talk a little about the exciting 3 day programme.
Afterwards make your way to 31 The Square restaurant where an exquisite and creative dinner will be prepared by our Head Chef and his brigade. After dinner take part in a magical, candlelit procession to the shores of Lake Derwentwater. Enjoy a glass of hot mulled wine and hot roasted chestnuts as you experience the beauty, peace and tranquillity of the lake at night. (Warm boots and jackets recommended!). During the evening don’t miss the Keswick Churches Together Christmas concert in the Market Square outside the hotel.
Christmas Day
Breakfast on Christmas morning is a leisurely affair. Start your day
with a traditional hearty Cumbrian breakfast. Relax and enjoy the morning at your leisure. Whatever you decide to do, you are guaranteed to be surrounded by the beauty and seasonal peace of the Lake District in Winter. After the Lakeland air has stimulated your appetite it will be time to meet in the Lounge Bar where orders will be taken for a sumptuous Christmas Day Lunch. Make sure you leave room for coffee and mince pies!
In the evening the bar is open for pre-dinner drinks and the fabulous ‘Taste of the Lakes and Fells’ buffet will be served - providing a perfect opportunity for you to taste some traditional Cumbrian specialities and delicacies prepared by our Cumbrian born Head Chef. We have prepared a fun Christmas Quiz to round off the day, it is guaranteed to be a fun and entertaining evening.
Boxing Day
A true Cumbrian breakfast will be served in our restaurant which is sure to get you going for the day ahead.
We then suggest you wrap up warm and enjoy a scenic walk to a surprise location where you’ll be greeted with an exquisite picnic lunch. Feel free to bring your four-legged friend who is more than welcome to join us! Depending on how many calories you wish to burn post-Christmas, this is followed by a choice of a leisurely or a more invigorating walk returning to the hotel.
Alternatively, we invite you to ‘hit the sales’ - with so many boutique and high-street shops right on our doorstep, you may want to start saving now!
In the evening, you will enjoy a special mouth-watering farewell dinner before joining us in the bar for some live music to finish the night off in relaxed style.
27th December
