It is difficult to imagine a more idyllic English setting for Christmas or New Year celebrations – a luxurious Mansion House, with superb accommodation, fabulous restaurants and a Country Club with Spa surrounded by acres of beautiful gardens, lakes and parkland – it’s the perfect choice.

You are invited to take time to relax and enjoy a traditional country house Christmas at Luton Hoo, with excellent hospitality and a full itinerary of spectacular Christmas entertainment for all the family. There are three or four night programmes available from the 23rd through to the 27th December.

The periods either side of Christmas and New Year are often an ideal time for an extended stay, either before the festivities begin, that piece of calm between Christmas and New Year or indeed for a well deserved break after the New Year Celebrations!

And for New Year’s Eve, we have three contrasting events for your celebration, from a Gourmet Dinner or Dinner Dance to our Family Disco.

Christmas is such a very special time for children and we make sure we provide everything they would hope for with welcome packs, a visit from Father Christmas, family times in the pool, children’s cinema, story time and so much more.

Throughout December, both the Wernher Restaurant and Adam’s Brasserie will be serving festive fayre – an ideal opportunity to join CONTENTS friends, family or colleagues to celebrate the festive . Non-residents are also welcome to join us for sumptuous lunches on Christmas Day, CHRISTMAS HOUSE 4-9 Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
