We love Christmastime here at Wentbridge. The thought of the festive period gets us all excited and bustling around to bring you a fabulous

Christmas. Whether you are new to us or a regular visitor, we look forward to welcoming you. We’ve created deliciously Christmassy

menus, selected the perfect wines for the season and prepared those finer details that make celebrations all the more special.

As always, we’re here to bring you great service and memories to last a lifetime. Whether you’re cosying up by the log fire with an aromatic mulled wine or partying in one of our event rooms, we’re sure you’ll

enjoy the lovely festive comforts of our country house.

We would be delighted for you to join us and be part of our wonderful festivities. Merry Christmas!

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and f ields, that it kisses

them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you

know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says

“Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

- Lewis Carroll -
