Location & Itinerary
CHRISTMAS EVE
Arrive on Christmas Eve at leisure and settle in for a wonderful Christmas break. A festive cream tea will be served with a glass of Prosecco in the afternoon, a good chance to catch-up with old friends and make some new ones.
Enjoy an evening buffet dinner in the restaurant served from 6pm until 8pm. After dinner you may relax in the Bar or heated terrace or should you wish to spend the evening in some of the famous historic drinking haunts in Winchester, it is just a brief stroll from the hotel or you may wish to attend the famous Midnight Mass at Winchester Cathedral.
CHRISTMAS DAY
Following a sumptuous breakfast and dedicated present opening time where there will be a Secret Santa (please bring with you a wrapped unisex present valued around £10), a cocktail and canapés will be served prior to your fine traditional Christmas Day Lunch. You may wish to go for a walk in the afternoon - several options will be available.
Dinner will be a classic Christmas buffet of carved meats, terrines, British and Continental cheeses, chutneys and delicious desserts served from 6.30pm until 8.30pm. After dinner we can head to the Bar for more fun and frolics.
BOXING DAY
Enjoy a leisurely Boxing Day breakfast then spend the day either doing your own thing by relaxing with full use of the Spa facilities, catching up with the sales, or exploring the Historic City of Winchester on your own, or you may wish to join us on some optional events during the afternoon.
In the evening you may book a table in the restaurant or you may like to do something totally different, and some may say bizarre, and join us on an optional event for a night of fun and hilarity at Hampshire's only Teppaynyaki restaurant.
27TH DECEMBER
After breakfast it will be time to check out and say our farewells, until we meet again on the next event.
