Celebrate Christmas at Rydal Hall with a five-day festive stay from 23 to 27 December 2026, in the peaceful surroundings of our Lake District estate.
Arrive from 2pm. First, enjoy an afternoon at leisure. Then feel free to join us for the Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church, followed by dinner, mulled wine and a mince pie.
Enjoy a relaxed day with time to explore the gardens or Chapel. In the afternoon, activities also include a family-friendly Christmas event and outdoor carols. After dinner, there are mince pies, mulled wine and (for those wishing to attend) Midnight Mass.
Begin with a choice of Christmas Day services. Afterwards, sit down to a traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings. Later, enjoy the King’s Speech and then a relaxed evening buffet.
For example, take a winter walk, relax in the Hall or enjoy traditional board games and your favourite Christmas films. Finally, we serve dinner in the evening.
Depart by 10am, or alternatively stay on for our informal Christmas concert — a much-loved Rydal tradition where guests can share a song, poem, reading or musical performance.
We serve breakfast daily. In addition, tea and coffee are available throughout the day. The Tea Shop is also open during your stay, except on Christmas Day.
The Chapel will be open daily for anyone wishing to pray. As well as this, a host Chaplain will be available over the Christmas period.
Of course, prices include everything listed above and parking throughout your stay.
Add on an extra night from just £130 per room.
Non-residents can join us for Christmas Day Lunch for just £75pp or Boxing Day Brunch for just £35pp.
