Winter holidays UK

Bring everyone together and experience the timeless magic of the forest in winter. Imagine crisp winter walks complete with the crunch of frosty leaves and the beauty of icicle covered branches. Evenings spent in a cosy woodland cabin with the sound of a crackling log burner. Or soaking in your very own hot tub under a clear starry sky. And if you’re lucky, it may even snow…

Book your winter break

Get that festive feeling with a pre-Christmas break

Ease gently into winter with an ‘unpackaged’ pre-Christmas break. Start the season at your own pace and explore a forest filled with lanterns and lights from 13 November. Seeking extra excitement? Venture out to pretty towns, Christmas markets and ice skating rinks (ask our team about local places to visit). Whether you’re into laidback board games in front of the log burner or fancy a tipple at a country pub, a forest staycation is the ultimate way to escape the festive rush and relax before Santa comes to town.

Christmas breaks

Wrap up in your cosiest scarf, pull on your sturdiest boots, and spend Christmas in your very own winter woodland. Under a canopy of trees and surrounded by nature, retreat from the world to spend 'the big day' exactly how you like. 

• Enjoy a luxury Christmas hamper by Booths included in your cabin on Christmas Day breaks.
• Decorate your own real Christmas tree.
• Scamper through the forest on The Snowman™ and The Snowdog self-led trail.
• Visit the local area! There are lots of festive attractions, surrounding each of our locations.

Join in with some seriously good festive entertainment and bring everyone’s festive favourite to life as you uncover the secrets of the forest with The Snowman and The Snowdog self-led trail before tucking into a winter-themed afternoon tea! Explore the local area or retreat to your cabin and savour the excitement of sleeping deep in the forest on Christmas Eve. 

Let this Christmas be your most exciting yet as you unwrap presents against a beautiful woodland backdrop and head off on that classic Boxing Day walk in one of Britain's most beautiful forests. Festive perfection.
