Tips & Advice

  • Pick your party night by the entertainment, since each date has a different act, from the 70's Showband Night to Simon Casey and Band.
  • Ask about the discounted B&B Christmas Party Night rates when you book, so you can stay over instead of travelling home late.
  • Pay the 50% deposit within two weeks of booking and the balance two weeks before your night, as cancellations after that aren't refunded.
  • Contact the hotel to go on the Festive Afternoons waitlist, because every date is full but numbers change regularly.
