the city this Christmas... 

MONDAY 23RD DECEMBER 

Check in, take the weight off and make yourself 

at home with a glass of Champagne. When 

you’re ready, join us in the restaurant for a 

cream tea with live music. In the evening, a five 

course black tie gala dinner and dancing until 

late awaits in our breathtaking Great Hall. 

CHRISTMAS EVE 

Dive into a hearty Cornish breakfast before 

spending the afternoon wine tasting, hosted 

by our in-house sommelier. Alternatively, make 

your way to The Oak and watch classic festive 

films with popcorn and refreshments. 

Pull up a pew in our double AA rosette-worthy 

restaurant for canapés and a four course 

candlelit dinner. If you’re attending Midnight 

Mass in Truro, we’ll have a warm mug of hot 

chocolate, Cognac and delicious treats ready 

for your return. 

CHRISTMAS DAY 

Rise and shine – it’s Christmas Day! A relaxed 

bucks fizz breakfast is the order of the day. 

Open your presents at your leisure; you might 

just find something from Father Christmas. 

Take to the coast for a refreshing stroll or 

curl up with a book, before joining us for a 

Champagne and canapé reception. This will be 

followed by a traditional four course lunch in 

the restaurant. 

In the evening graze on a festive buffet with all 

the seasonal trimmings, and play board games 

long into the night.

Christmas. Time. 

Thursday 26th December 

in The Great Hall 

‘Comedy genius that needs to 

be performed every year until 

the apocalypse!’ 

Cornwall Live 

Bringing bucket-loads of Christmas 

spirit this December, and touring 

for its 11th consecutive year, is Nearta 

Theatre’s cult festive comedy, 

‘Christmas.Time.’ 

Charlie and Toby are feeling low, and why 

wouldn’t they? It’s Christmas Day and they’re 

serving time at Her Majesty’s pleasure. But why 

shouldn’t they be having a Merry Christmas in 

spite of their incarceration? What’s stopping 

them from creating Christmas around them? 

Absolutely nothing! And so they set off on their 

festival of carols, Claus, Christ and custody… 

Join them on a fantastical adventure through 

Dickens, pantomime, musicals, Christmas 

dinner and festive films! See as they build a 

wonderfully Merry Christmas with songs, 

snowmen and lots of laughs in this truly 

festive show that puts the ‘cell’ firmly back 

in ‘celebration’. 

‘Christmas.Time’ is a musical comedy for all the 

family, and year after year proves a festive and 

fantastically funny Christmas offering from 

Near-ta Theatre.
