Christmas and New Year
Ye Olde Bell truly comes into its own during the Christmas and New Year period. There is a lovely welcoming house party atmosphere and the festive decorations, crackling log fires and aroma of mulled wine add to the seasonal ambience.
We offer a wonderful 3-day Christmas Package which includes a full festive programme.
For New Year we offer a 2-night package and celebrate New Years Eve itself with a spectacular Gala Dinner - which is open to both residents and non-residents.
During the month of December, up to and including the 24th, we have a very busy Christmas calendar. Traditional Christmas Lunch at Ye Olde Bell is a much-loved annual fixture for many. It provides excellent value for money – and we do all the washing up. Our daily Festive Luncheons are perfect for celebrating with family, friends or work colleagues – as are our weekly Sunday Lunches with Santa. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday we hold Christmas Party Nights which are always great fun and very popular.
