Christmas is already going great here at Buckatree

In the words of Slade – It’s Christmaaaaaassssssssss!

Now Halloween has passed, everyone seems to be turning their sights to the next festival and here at Buckatree it’s in full swing.

We have bookings left right and centre for our Christmas events and activities. In fact, we’re having to put on extra events to cope with demand.

Everyone seems to be in the swing of it a lot earlier this year and are busy booking up nights out, lunch parties and general get togethers.

Back in September bookings were already up compared to that time last year, so two months on we are really bursting at the seams now. A party at Buckatree is always a great occasion and words seems to have got around about that. We hope to be able to cater for everyone who wants to attend, so our advice is to get in quick.

We have increased our line up of Tribute Lunches throughout December to 7 of them and included 3 Tribute Dinners as well.

Buddy Holly, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Neil Diamond, Elton John and Tom Jones join us in the afternoons, whilst the girls from ABBA, Elvis & Elton John and Rod Stewart & David Bowie join us in the evening – or at least their best impressionists do.

We still have availability on some dates (although our All-Inclusive parties are in high demand so you better be quick!).

It’s Christmas every day here at Buckatree Hall Hotel

September 2017
Here at Buckatree Hall Hotel it’s Christmas every day! Or at least that’s what we think.

We have a theory that you hear the word Christmas every single day. And now you’ve been made aware of it you’ll be listening out and realising that it might actually be true.

At this time of year people start preparing for Christmas and making plans (those really organised people do anyway), obviously it’s then Christmas so it’s mentioned all the time, in the New Year people are reminiscing about what happened over Christmas and in the summer… our staff dress up in Christmas hats and go out promoting!

That’s what they’ve been doing for the past few weeks. Our Summer Santa promotion has gone down a treat, we’ve had staff dressed up, crackers on the tables at lunch times and the best part was when our staff in Santa hats went down to Southwater to hand out flyers at exactly the same time that Telford & Wrekin Council had created a summer beach there!

Of course there were people who thought we were quite literally crackers, but it certainly got people talking about Christmas – and booking too!

Due to demand, we have increased our line up of Tribute Lunches throughout December to 7 of them and included 3 Tribute Dinners.
Buddy Holly, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Neil Diamond, Elton John and Tom Jones join us in the afternoons, whilst the girls from ABBA, Elvis & Elton John and Rod Stewart & David Bowie join us in the evening – or at least their best impressionists do.

All of the hard work has certainly paid off with bookings already up this time last year. However, do not despair, we still have availability on most dates (although our All-Inclusive parties are in high demand so you better be quick!).

It seems other people are mentioning Christmas more often than just during the festive period as well.

So, consider this today’s mention of Christmas for you and keep your ear to the ground, you’ll hear or read it more than you realise!

Wow what a response to our Let It Snow – Princess Party! The phones went wild as news on our Facebook page reached more than 22,000 people!

There’s no doubt Frozen is as popular as it was 12 months ago! We don’t blame you – who wouldn’t want to take the chance to dress up as a little princess or prince and hang out with the ‘real princesses’ for a couple of hours!

Lots of people have bought tickets and given them as early Christmas presents off grandparents and aunty and uncles or just bought them to make sure everyone is in the festive mood for the big day.

So what’s happening and when?

Our Princess Party inspired by the hit movie Frozen will be held at the hotel on Wednesday December 21st from 12noon till 2pm.

We are expecting lots of mini princesses to turn up in their beautiful dresses and little boys ready in their party outfits to dance and enjoy the first week of the Christmas holidays.

We’ve had parents wanting to get in early and secure their tickets so they can book that special day off work. Or for those who will be still running around getting the last minute presents it will be a welcome two hours of sitting down and enjoying watching the children be entertained by someone else!

Children’s tickets are just £10.95 to include a sandwich lunch and entertainment (under 2’s are free) and £5.95 for adults to include coffee and a mince pie.

We don’t want your little prince or princess left disappointed so book today by calling 01952 641821.

A lunch date with the stars

Here at Buckatree Hall Hotel we like to give our guests the very best – including top class entertainment on the lead up to Christmas with tribute act visits from Cilla Black, Frank Sinatra and Vera Lynn.

So we’re hosting Tribute Lunches from November 30 to December 19 and visitors can choose from a festive three-course lunch menu to accompany the top tribute act of the day for just £16.50.

The tribute lunches follow on from the success of last year and because of the sell-out dates of 2015 we decided to increase the number of acts this year from four to six – and half of those are already fully booked!

We won’t tantalise you with them (okay so you missed out on Elvis, Buddy Holly and Doris Day – but we have plenty more on offer)

So what’s what’s left?

December 6th – Cilla Black and Friends
December 15th – Vera Lynn

The fun will begin when our guests arrive at noon for lunch to be served at 12.30pm. The tribute act goes on stage at 1.30pm and we have some great singers to entertain you so come and join the festive fun at Buckatree Hall.

It’s the perfect date for friendship and community groups and sporting clubs who have their day times free and don’t necessarily want to venture out during the dark winter nights – but don’t wait around as there’s limited availability!
