Monday
Morning departure from Cobham. This evening, enjoy a drinks reception to meet the staff and fellow guests before dinner. We are entertained by carol singers then in-house games after dinner.
Christmas Eve
Today we drive to the historic City of Lincoln with its magnificent Cathedral, and next to it the Norman Castle. The old town is a labyrinth of little alleyways and interesting shops to explore - there are plenty of tea rooms to keep you going! We return in time for tea/coffee and Grantham Gingerbread Biscuits. Guess the weight of the Christmas cake and the number of sweets in the jar at reception. Dinner tonight is followed by live entertainment.
Christmas Day
A ‘Very Merry Christmas’ to everyone! Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and open your presents. Have a relaxing morning in the hotel, maybe make use of the leisure facilities and take a swim. Traditional Christmas Lunch is served followed by the King’s speech. Later we have tea/coffee and Christmas cake. Dinner tonight is buffet style and we round off the day with a festive quiz.
Boxing Day
After a leisurely start we make our way to Nottingham. After time for a pre-theatre snack, we take our seats for our Boxing Day Panto, Peter Pan. This family treat will include all your favourites from Neverland including Tinker Bell, Wendy, John and Michael Darling. With amazing special effects, stunning sets, beautiful costumes and barrel-loads of laughter! We return to the hotel for dinner, followed by our final evening of entertainment.
Friday
Sadly, we wave goodbye to our hosts at the Barn Hotel, arriving early evening for our taxis home.
Please note: The entertainment programme at the hotel on our Christmas holidays are provisional and subject to change.
