2025 CHRISTMAS
From the North Pole
Dear Guest,
The most magical time of year is nearly here, and I wanted to let you in on a little secret... There’s a place where twinkling lights dance on the river, the scent of cinnamon fills the air, and festive cheer flows from morning ‘til night, it’s called Shillingford Bridge Hotel, and it’s simply wonderful at Christmas.
Whether it’s a festive feast, a cosy get-together, or a winter escape, something truly special awaits you this Christmas, with delicious food, joyful music, and laughter.
So pop on your Christmas jumper, gather your loved ones, and make memories to last well into the New Year.
Until Christmas Eve — I’ll be checking my list (twice!)
With festive cheer,
Santa Claus
