There's Christmas parties and then there's throwing a festive bash at Silverholme Manor, a Georgian Grade II Listed house in the Lake District, with views out over the stunning Lake Windermere. Whether you're organising a seasonal do for your work colleagues, important clients or getting the whole family together for the best time of the year, this is a venue that will no doubt impress.
Silverholme Manor was built back in 1820 and still benefits from its gorgeous period facade and interiors that are brimming with characterful architectural details. However, the house underwent an impressive renovation in 2013 to ensure the space still reflects the wants and needs of modern day, installing under floor heating, a Sonos sound system and becoming carbon neutral.
Inside, there's a selection of events spaces to choose from including the Coach House which can be reformulated in layout or decorated however you like, with space for a DJ or live band. There's also the luxurious dining room which is a gorgeous place to host a sit down dinner. Or, take the party outside and hire a tipi or marquee, making the most of the incredible views and the house's surrounding grounds. Overall, the estate can host up to 200 people, but this will depend on the space you choose and the feel of your event.
Whoever you're celebrating with, you might be wondering about accommodation options, especially in such a wonderfully rural location. Well, this is where Silverholme Manor really comes through again, with capacity for up to 18 people within the main house and a whole host of cottages across the estate, providing plenty of accommodation for those invited.
Finally, it wouldn't be Christmas without plenty of food and drink, and while the team here don't offer in-house catering, they do work with a preferred list of suppliers who are known for their use of fresh, seasonal ingredients and ask that you choose from these.
