Indulge in a light afternoon tea featuring freshly brewed tea and coffee, accompanied by the delightful melodies of local carol singers to truly immerse you in the festive spirit.
Your evening begins with a sparkling cocktail and canapés reception, during which our General Manager and her team will outline the exciting three-day program ahead. We will then gather in our elegant restaurant for a delightful four-course celebratory welcome dinner.
