CHRISTMAS EVE - Wednesday 24th December
Our aim, as ever, is to provide a peaceful and traditional Christmas getaway for you all, starting with afternoon tea in the Conservatory and for those of you feeling lucky - you’ll find your quiz papers waiting in your rooms.
At 7.00pm it’s time for welcome drinks in the Ballroom Bar – during this time we are very pleased to welcome back the Castel Church Junior Choir and their Director of Music, Mr Roger Brooks who will perform a selection of traditional carols.
A special Christmas Eve dinner awaits you in our award winning Cambridge Restaurant from 7.30pm - but make sure to leave some room for dancing, which will start from 9.00pm in the Ballroom Bar. Following the success of last Christmas we welcome back The Bandits!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Breakfast will be served in the Cambridge Restaurant from 8.00am until 10.00am.
At 12.00 noon the management of the hotel invite you to join them in The Terrace Lounge for a glass of Champagne before lunch. Christmas lunch will be served from 12.30pm until 2.00pm in the Cambridge Restaurant - not forgetting of course our regular visitor “Santa Claus” who we’re hoping to see during lunchtime as he makes his way around the island…
We have a relaxing evening ahead, with a gala buffet dinner and entertainment provided by Craig Newhouse, a guitar vocalist “with too many years experience playing for the great”, Craig has previously performed with Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders and Peter Noone of Herman and the Hermits in prestigious locations such as Cunard’s QEII, The London Palladium and The Birmingham Symphony. Craig’s show is packed with classic 60s numbers and a "guitar legends" tribute featuring the sound, style and songs of Mark Knopfler, Hank Marvin, Pink Floyd, The Shadows and Eric Clapton. Craig proved a big hit with his previous show and we are delighted to welcome him back to The Duke of Richmond Hotel.
