Published: Wednesday, 3 December 2025
Does your December diary need a little sprinkle of festive joy? Many of our hotels are going the extra mile to make December truly magical. Check out what they’re up to...
Beamish Hall Hotel’s gorgeous grounds are getting a festive glow-up! At night the enchanted woodland will come to life with magical illuminations, music and projections designed to dazzle. Don’t forget your camera as the trail offers plenty of photo opportunities and make sure to leave time for a post-stroll hot chocolate and cake in The Stables.
Embrace your inner Torvill and Dean at the Ice Volt, a seasonal covered ice rink set up in the Centurion Hotel’s grounds. You can glide and twirl (or shuffle!) around under a canopy of twinkling lights before heading to the ski-themed Alpine Bar for some après skate refreshments. There will also be a Santa’s Grotto for little ones who want to check if they’re on the nice list.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that bring festive joy – like a few hours’ peace! Moor Hall Hotel’s Winter Solstice Retreat is the perfect escape and is guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to make the most of the festive season. Enjoy a mix of yoga, meditation and sound healing plus some delicious healthy food – the perfect antidote to all the chocolate and party food. This soothing experience is set against a backdrop of twinkling trees and festive lights to set the festive mood. Magical.
Indulging in a traditional afternoon tea is the perfect way to catch up with friends during the festive season, or why not treat yourself after a busy day Christmas shopping? Mosborough Hall have put a yummy yuletide twist on a classic with a selection of festive-themed sandwiches, including turkey and cranberry (of course!) and prawn cocktail. You’ll also enjoy a selection of savoury pastries, scones and delicious sweet treats, plus why not add a warming mulled wine or a glass of fizz for some Christmas cheer?
There’s nothing like a roaring fire at Christmas and Bank House Hotel is the perfect place to cosy up after a day exploring the nearby stunning Malvern Hills. Grab a glass of something and your book and settle in – preferably with a view of the Christmas tree.
However, and wherever, you celebrate this festive season, we wish you a very merry Christmas filled with joy!
