CHRISTMAS BROCHURE

Christmas Brochure

Come and join in the festivities at the Riverside Hotel this Christmas and New Year. Whatever you are planning to do this Christmas and New Year we can take care of everything!

Join in the traditional and fun Party Nights in our Kendal Suite

accompanied by our resident DJ and local Band, Catch 22. Or if you are after a quieter, more intimate affair then try our Riverview Restaurant situated on the first floor offering lovely views over the River Kent. Whichever you prefer you can be sure that there will be lots of fine dining, dancing and merriment with a Christmas atmosphere.

Don’t want to slave over a hot stove on Christmas Day? Why don’t you try us instead? Sit down with a delicious Six Course Meal, a visit from Santa as well as the usual festive day touches then retreat to our Sanctuary Bar and unwind – let us do the washing up!!

The best dates always go first so it is always a good idea to book early. Whatever your personal requirements we can arrange a party to suit your needs.

Don’t worry about nominating a driver; we have some very competitive rates for overnight accommodation or for group bookings.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!
