Welcome! Once you have settled into your room, we invite you for quick walk up to the tarn, set in our glorious 72 acres of private woodland.
There, we have prepared a special drink and snack reception hosted by our general manager Adam and the master brewer Lukasz from our very own microbrewery, the Brewhouse.
Following this, there’s time to finish off wrapping your last presents before relaxing for the rest of the afternoon before the days ahead and all the activities commence. In the evening we would be delighted to invite you to sample our A la Carte menu in the restaurant.
This morning a hearty Wild Boar Estate breakfast awaits, the perfect way to begin your day. After your breakfast, we invite you to meet Popeye, our resident Harris Hawk and birds of prey from our friends at Lake District Falconry.
In the afternoon, we invite you to sample a glass of homemade mulled wine and enjoy a light Afternoon Tea in our Grill & Smokehouse Restaurant.
Following this, why not treat yourself to a drink in the lounge by one of our open fires. Alternatively, why not explore the village of Bowness-on-Windermere - an ideal opportunity for any last-minute Christmas shopping.
Tonight, following a glass of bubbly and a canapé or two, we will then be serving a ‘Hog and Ale buffet’ dinner. Our popular Wild Quiz then follows with prizes for winners and bribes gratefully accepted by our ‘Wild Quiz Master’!
A nightcap by one of our roaring fires will round off what we are sure will be a most enjoyable and memorable Christmas Eve celebration.
A very special guest will be waiting to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and offer a chilled glass of something bubbly prior to a hearty Lakeland Grill. You are then invited to join Adam for our archery competition in the woods.
Return for a warming glass of mulled wine and then join us for the main event of the day: our traditional Christmas Day lunch that our brigade of chefs have been busy preparing all morning.
This afternoon, guests have the opportunity to relax, enjoy some of the gifts that Father Christmas has delivered and soak up the atmosphere that only Christmas at Wild Boar Estate can bring.
Tonight, begins with a delicious Yuletide buffet, and no Christmas our Gingerbread house making competition and this year is no exception! Following 2024’s winning entry, the gauntlet has been well and truly thrown down and prizes await this year’s most eye-catching creations.
Alternatively festive films and games are accessible in the wonderful private ‘Undermillbeck’, or perhaps just take the relaxing option to sit back in front of one of our roaring fires as Christmas Day 2025 draws to a close.
The conclusion of our Christmas package is, of course, a traditional Cumbrian breakfast and a fond farewell with best wishes for the year ahead.
