CHRISTMAS EVE - Monday 24th December

Welcome to The Duke of Richmond Hotel and this years Christmas Programme.

Our aim, as ever, is to provide a peaceful and traditional Christmas getaway for you all, starting with afternoon tea in the Conservatory and for those of you feeling lucky you’ll find your quiz papers waiting in your rooms.

At 7.00pm it’s time for welcome drinks in the Ballroom Bar – during this time we are very pleased to welcome back the Castel Church Junior Choir and their Director of Music, Mr Roger Brooks who will perform a selection of traditional carols.

A special Christmas Eve dinner awaits you in our award winning Cambridge Restaurant from 7.30pm - but make sure to leave some room for dancing, which will start from 9.00pm in the Ballroom Bar. Following the success of last Christmas, and back by popular demand we welcome The Bandits!
