Kick-start the festive season with Bowood’s Family Festive Sunday Lunches in the Kerry Suite. Held on Sundays throughout December, these lunches are perfect for bringing the family together in the run-up to Christmas. Enjoy a delicious three-course Christmas lunch while the little ones are entertained with face painting, a children’s disco, and party games. The highlight of the day is a special visit from Santa himself, with gifts for children under 12. This popular event fills up quickly, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.

The Kerry Bar will open from 12pm, lunch will be announced at 12.45pm and lunch will be served at 1pm.

Prices are £45 per adult, £19 per child (2-12 years), and £7.50 for under 2s who are not eating but would like a gift from Santa.
