If you’re staying at Hall Farm in the run-up to Christmas, you might fancy getting out and about, doing a bit of festive shopping, visiting a Christmas light display or finding somewhere nice for a festive lunch. Luckily, we’re surrounded by some lovely places to do just that.
I’ve put together a few of our local favourites, along with some ideas if you fancy venturing a little further afield.
If you’re looking for Christmas decorations, gifts or just a good excuse to have a mooch around somewhere festive, there are several garden centres and shops nearby.
And if you’d rather leave the shopping bags behind and enjoy a festive lunch, The Hercules Revived is worth a look for its festive menu. Cattows Farm also offers festive events and afternoon teas, which make a nice excuse for an afternoon out.
If you’re happy to travel a little further, there are some lovely Christmas events within reach of Hall Farm.
Do check the event dates and book ahead where necessary, as some sessions can sell out.
If you’re feeling a little crafty, there are a few local options for getting creative and making your own Christmas wreath. You’ll have something handmade to take home and hang on your door too.
Workshop dates and availability can change, so do check directly and book with the organisers before making plans.
If you’re lucky enough to be spending Christmas here, you might be planning to cook a festive feast of your own.
All four of our retreats have well-equipped kitchens, with plenty of pots, pans, crockery and utensils to help you get everything organised, including cooking oil and tin foil, so you won’t need to bring your kitchen with you!
We’re also lucky to have some great local food suppliers nearby. A few worth looking at:
I’d recommend ordering ahead for Christmas, particularly if there’s something specific you have your eye on.
After all that Christmas shopping, crafting and festive exploring, it’s rather nice to come back to your own little retreat.
We’ll have the Christmas trees up and the accommodation looking festive. You can make yourself a hot chocolate (with or without a festive tipple), put your feet up and enjoy a relaxing evening. Or why not pre-order champagne and we’ll have it ready on ice – it’s time to celebrate 🍾
If you’re staying in The Old Tractor Shed, you can get the log burner going too – logs provided!
And, of course, all four have their own private hot tub. So you can finish the day with a soak under the stars, before settling in for a cosy night.
Christmas at Hall Farm is a lovely chance to slow down, enjoy a change of scene and do as much – or as little – as you fancy.
We’d love to welcome you 🎄❤️
