We like to think of our Christmases at The Priory as more of a house party, with traditional charm and old-fashion courtesies … nothing too formal, other than impeccable service and hospitality. Your Christmas starts from the moment you arrive when we will take care of everything so you can simply relax, unwind and enjoy. The festivities begin with a Champagne Reception on Christmas Eve between 7.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. when you are welcomed by your hosts, and family members, in the bedecked Drawing Room, with it’s open log fire and beautifully decorated Christmas Tree; Champagne flutes of ‘bubbles’ will be served, together with delicious homemade canapés, as guests mingle and get to know one another.
