Set in Clearwell, in the Forest of Dean, Clearwell Castle is a breathtaking Christmas party venue for groups looking to celebrate somewhere out of the ordinary. The castle offers exclusive use of the house and grounds for the day and night of your event, plus a collection of small spaces for private dinners and intimate celebrations.
December transforms the castle into a magical festive setting, with a crackling log fire, Christmas trees and garlands dressing the fireplaces, and the smell of mulled wine and gingerbread through the corridors. Events can be scaled to suit different guest numbers, with the venue able to host anywhere from smaller, intimate gatherings up to larger celebrations of around 250 guests, across a choice of spaces including the Ballroom and the Main Hall.
For drinks, there are two fully stocked bars run by experienced bartenders and mixologists, along with an in-house DJ and disco room to keep the dancing going. On the food side, the in-house catering team builds a bespoke festive menu for each event, with options spanning seasonal canapés, simple buffets, or multi-course fine dining, including a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
There's flexibility in how you celebrate too, from a more private Christmas dinner at The Wyndham through to exclusive hire of the full castle for a bigger Christmas party. Guests wanting to stay over can take advantage of on-site accommodation for over 80 people, with breakfast included, so the party doesn't have to end at midnight.
Whether it's an office Christmas party, a family get-together, or a reunion with friends, Clearwell Castle's events team will work with you to put together a bespoke Christmas party tailored to your requirements. Get in touch with the events team to check availability and start planning.
