Christmas 2015
Let us take care of everything for you this
Christmas. Enjoy three days at Calcot Manor
indulging in the pleasures of our restaurants
and spa, and relaxing in the comfort of your
own country house retreat.
Christmas & New Year 2015
Christmas Programme
Christmas Eve
Christmas will begin at Calcot on Thursday 24th December, when we welcome
our guests with Christmas cake, mince pies and scones in front of our roaring log
fires. Guests are invited to join us for a Champagne reception before a leisurely
evening meal, and later in the evening a visit by local choristers.

Christmas Day
Christmas Day begins with a Champagne breakfast, either in the comfort of your
bedroom, or in The Conservatory Restaurant.
For those wishing to attend Christmas morning service, there are several small
churches in the parishes of Tetbury, Kingscote and Beverstone - we would be
happy to arrange your travel.
Christmas lunch is served in The Conservatory Restaurant.
Christmas afternoon is rarely active, but for those feeling energetic we can
recommend a walk to revive your appetite for the evening’s light supper.
On Christmas Day evening, we will serve a relaxed candle-lit supper for house
guests in The Gumstool Inn.

Boxing Day
There is as much (or as little!) to do as you like on Boxing Day with a
clay-pigeon shoot in the grounds (please speak to reception for details), or the
Arboretum at Westonbirt and Sir Peter Scott’s Wildfowl Trust at Slimbridge both a
short distance from the hotel.
For the less energetic, this might be a good time to be pampered in Calcot Spa,
or stay in the hotel and curl up in front of the fire with a good book.The festivities
come to an end with a cocktail party and dinner in The Conservatory Restaurant.
Lunch will be available in The Gumstool Inn and The Conservatory Restaurant on Boxing Day, but
this is not included in the price of the break. Guests are advised to reserve a table in advance.

New Year 2015
At Calcot Manor, New Year is a relaxed
house party with fine food, Champagne,
excellent wines and as much dancing as
you like!

We do hope you can join us.
Christmas & New Year 2015
New Year Programme
wednesday 30th December
Guests arriving throughout the day will be welcomed with Afternoon
Tea served in front of crackling log fires. The afternoon might be spent
visiting Calcot Spa - an opportunity to be thoroughly pampered before
the party begins. Dinner will be a relaxed affair served in our beautiful
Conservatory Restaurant allowing guests to unwind before the
celebrations the following day.

New Year’s Eve
Children’s entertainer, Pizazz, is at Calcot during the afternoon and
throughout the evening and never fails to entertain our smaller guests
with, amongst many other activities, his balloon modelling.
The party begins for the adults with a Champagne and canapè
reception, before a five-course black tie dinner. After dinner, guests
will be entertained by live music and as much (or as little!) dancing
as you like. The midnight hour will be marked in the traditional style -
Champagne and a little ‘Auld Lang Syne’, and the casino and dancing
will carry on into the early hours.

New Year’s Day
After breakfast, blow away the previous night’s cobwebs by exploring
the cotswold countryside. For the less energetic, we suggest visiting
Calcot Spa, or perhaps curling up with a good book in front of the fire.
Dinner will be served in The Conservatory Restaurant.
