Something magical

Give yourself and your family the most wonderful gift of all by setting your Christmas at Lainston House this year.  

Expect three days of incredible food and drink, live music and festive activities, from a four-course welcome meal on Christmas Eve to Christmas Day lunch and a Boxing Day gala dinner accompanied by live jazz. 

And while we love our traditions, it wouldn’t be Lainston House if we didn’t put our unique twist on things, with singers, roast chestnuts and festive picnics aplenty. Merry, indeed.
