This Christmas, we’re delighted to be partnering once again with Jo Malone London, who will be bringing the season of fun and games theme to life at The Grove. Indulge in a mischievously merry afternoon tea inspired by Jo Malone London’s festive scents. Then, head to the Lounges where you can find a pop-up shop filled with luxury Jo Malone London gifts.
Escape for some well-earned downtime from 27–30 December – the perfect chance to slow down and enjoy a few easy days away. Switch off at Sequoia Spa , take a woodland walk, or cosy up by the fire with a nightcap in the Lounges. For little ones, there’s plenty to keep them happily busy, with arts and crafts throughout the day – from potion-making and Christmas cards to a festive balloon workshop. However you choose to spend it, it’s an easy, feel-good way to soak up the festive cheer and unwind together.
Start 2026 in style with a two-night stay and a New Year’s Eve dinner at either The Glasshouse or The Stables. Get the celebrations going early with a kids’ disco, while you raise a glass of Champagne. As midnight nears, head to The Glasshouse Terrace for toasted marshmallows, mince pies, mulled wine and hot chocolate – then watch our fireworks light up the sky as we welcome the New Year.
Step into festive magic at Willows Farm’s Santa Spectacular, and wander through a winter wonderland. Watch children’s eyes light up as they receive a golden key to Santa’s Toy Shop, and bring a furry friend to life at the make-a-cuddle workshop. Gingerbread decorating, festive shows, and an enchanting reindeer hunt add to the delight, while magical ice skating, funfair rides, and Peter Rabbit’s Adventure Playground provide a playful backdrop to a day filled with joy.
Take your seat at Watford Palace Theatre and enjoy Jack and the Beanstalk on stage. Packed with sing-along moments, laughter, and featuring the voice of Stephen Fry as the giant, it’s the perfect way to spend a joyful day out with the family this Christmas.
Step into the storybook magic of Waddesdon Manor this winter, where the gardens and grand house are transformed into a Sleeping Beauty–inspired wonderland. Wander beneath glittering lights and experience the enchantment of the Winter Light trail, illuminating the estate all the way through to 1 January.
