Our Winter Ball returns more dazzling and magical than ever!
Join us on Thursday 17th December 2026 for our much-loved winter event where you’ll be embarking on an unforgettable evening of festive cheer, exquisite food and drink, and spectacular entertainment.
Guests staying overnight can arrive from 5pm to check into their accommodation and change into their finest attire. Take time to stroll through the grounds and explore the house, beautifully dressed in its Christmas splendour, the perfect way to begin the celebrations.
From 6pm, you will be welcomed with festive cocktails and seasonal canapés as you relax and mingle with fellow guests. You’ll then be invited into our stunning Banqueting Hall to enjoy a lavish three-course dinner, thoughtfully curated by our Head Chef.
As the night unfolds, dazzling live entertainment will take center stage before our disco keeps the dancefloor alive with all the classics, carrying you through to a truly magical close.
Our much sought-after Winter Ball is the perfect event to host your family Christmas celebrations, a festive evening with friends or an end-of-year work do with colleagues. Whatever the reason, we will be here to help you make a toast to the year gone by!
