New Year's Eve in the Orangery
FRIDAY 31ST DECEMBER
If there’s one memory from 2010 that will linger long into the new year, it’s the carefree joy of our New Year’s Eve party. This spectacular seven course celebration of fine food and music is the unforgettably glamorous way to see in the New Year.
The evening begins with Champagne and canapés in the Lounge, before graduating to the ornate grandeur of the Orangery. There, you’ll meet your entertainer and compère for the night, Paul Martyn. Paul is an effortlessly evocative singer and saxophonist whose repertoire recalls the era of swing as easily as it breathes new life into contemporary classics.
This is one night of the year when you really won’t want to go home – especially when the walk to your room is so short, and the early morning views of the surrounding countryside are so spectacular.
So why not greet the dawn of a new year with a leisurely breakfast in the Wordsworth Restaurant?
Price: £135 per person (non-residents)
