Boringdon Hall Hotel has curated an outstanding line-up of events celebrating food, drink, creativity, and Christmas, taking place from October until New Year’s Eve.
Perched on the edge of Dartmoor, Boringdon Hall Hotel & Spa is a 5-star hotel home to Michelin star restaurant Àclèaf and internationally award-winning Gaia Spa. The historic hotel is filled with character and charm hosting guests inside the manor house which was home to English aristocracy during Tudor England.
Mike Gibson, Operations Manager at Boringdon Hall Hotel and Spa, believes the curation of events will be a wonderful addition to many people’s calendars. They said: “As the nights draw in, we’ve gathered a whole host of activities and entertainment for guests to enjoy with their loved ones, friends and family. We believe our duty as hoteliers is to make memorable experiences and this line-up is perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.”
The events have been curated to highlight food, drink, entertainment and creativity, bringing new opportunities to guests visiting the Devonshire hotel.
No visit to the 5-star hotel is complete without a tipple of champers. Join a champagne expert for a blind bubbles taste test and learn how to use a champagne sword to sabre a bottle of champagne yourself during the special one-off event! For wine lovers there are also sommelier Elly Owen’s exclusive Wine Clubs taking place throughout the winter season.
For a different palate Àclèaf’s head chef Scott Paton will be hosting a Balvenie whisky tasting session alongside Balvenie’s Brand Ambassador Sean Fennelly. An exclusive 5-course tasting menu will be paired alongside the Speyside made scotch.
The historic Tudor house will be filled with intrigue for a series of murder mystery nights, throughout autumn and winter. Inspired by piratical and Dickensian tales, guests will need to keep their wits about them as they dine on a 3-course meal and drink in the company of Candlelight Theatre Company who will provide the entertainment.
Creative workshops are on the line up to ground guests and attendees with the ‘Momentum of the Moors’ walk and textured painting workshop. Artist Gemma Lessinger will lead people on an amble across Dartmoor before embarking on a painting workshop inspired by the South Devon Area of Natural Beauty surrounding Boringdon Hall Hotel.
Spend Christmas time at ‘the enchanting house on the hill’ with festive activities to suit everyone. Get crafty during the Christmas calligraphy workshop and learn the art of modern penmanship or make your own wreath to adorn your front door for the yuletide season.
Indulge in the Festive Afternoon Tea complete with sandwiches, scones and Santa Claus! The whole family are invited to Boringdon Hall Hotel for a special festive event in the Grand Hall, with Santa Claus himself making an appearance. Enjoy an afternoon tea and see who’s gingerbread decorating skills are the best, all beneath the hall’s magnificent Christmas tree.
Finally, end 2024 in style at Boringdon Hall’s infamous Masquerade Ball. Mingle to the sound of live jazz, enjoy a four-course meal followed by live music and dancing with a toast at midnight to bring in the New Year.
