This year, we’ll be hosting our popular winter event on Friday 12th December 2025 and it will be the perfect evening of festive cheer, delicious food and drink, and spectacular entertainment!
You'll be able to arrive from 4.00pm and check into your accommodation if you are staying overnight and get changed into your best attire. Make sure you spare some time to wander around the grounds and house to see St Audries in all it's Christmassy glory.
From 5.30pm our Bar & Banqueting team will serve festive-themed cocktails and canapés whilst you settle in and mingle with other guests. Then at 6.45pm, you'll be asked to make your way to our beautiful Banqueting Hall for a delicious three-course meal curated by our Head Chef.
Enjoy a special appearance from Otis the Saxophonist to get the party started and then be able to party the night away with music played by our resident DJ Geoff, so ensure you pack your dancing shoes! During the evening, see a showstopping display from Fire Magic, who are bound to impress with their fireworks, making the evening truly magical.
Be it the office party, a family celebration, or a festive evening with friends, our Winter Ball offers the perfect place to share the magic of the season and toast to the year gone by!
