Rudding Park, the perfect place for Festive celebrations

Festive Celebrations at Rudding Park

Rudding Park is the natural choice at this time of year. The Rudding Park team have curated a range of festive events and overnight stays so you can escape and let someone else look after everything, and more importantly - look after you.

Take festive afternoon tea, lunch or dinner in Clocktower Brasserie. For film lovers – festive food and flicks is a winning combination of dinner followed by a private cinema showing of the film of your choice.

Visit Harrogate Food and Flicks

Get in the swing of things and join a party night, or the ever-popular black tie party nights.  

For many, there’s something about carol singing which signifies the start of the festive season. If that’s you, then ‘Festive Sing for your Supper’ is the perfect – the chance to sing.

Looking for private dining? Whether you are looking to host a private festive lunch, dinner or a spectacular Christmas party, Rudding House is always beautifully decorated to capture the magic of the season.

The evening is hosted by Duchess Olivia and her pompous Butler, Malvolio. Throughout dinner guests will be invited to join the Shakespearean characters in their pursuit of pleasure, romance and ridiculousness. Experience the highs and lows of an epic love triangle, the ins and outs of a cross-dressing character disguise and the ups and downs of a ridiculously wrong romance – all wrapped up in a Britpop playlist. It’s ‘Twelfth Night’ as you’ve never experienced it before.

The evening, which is ‘Black Tie’ includes a glass of Champagne, three course dinner and piper. In the morning awake to a leisurely breakfast and a ‘Recovery Pack’!
