Celebrate the festive season at The Pear Tree, a stunning exclusive-use venue in the Wiltshire countryside, offering over 700 years of history, luxurious on-site accommodation, and unforgettable dining experiences. Originally a Saxon vicarage, the venue blends historical charm with modern sophistication, featuring a newly added Orangery, Cotswold stone details, and seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, including its own vineyard.
Christmas parties at The Pear Tree are designed to impress, whether you’re planning a private event or joining one of the shared celebrations. For exclusive hire, the evening begins with welcome drinks - mulled wine or Prosecco - to set the festive mood. Guests are then treated to a three-course meal in the elegant dining spaces, with dishes to suit all tastes. Starters include ham and chicken terrine with shallot and caper mayonnaise, seared scallops with curried parsnip purée, or a pear and walnut tart with chicory salad and deep-fried blue cheese.
The mains are equally indulgent, featuring traditional roast turkey wrapped in pancetta with all the trimmings, grilled sea bass with garlic and herb crushed potatoes, or a vegetarian brie and cranberry pithivier served with roasted root vegetables. End the feast with desserts such as plum and pear crumble with gingerbread ice cream, panettone bread and butter pudding with apricot sauce, or a decadent chocolate delice.
After dinner, guests can relax with tea, coffee, and mince pies before moving to the Bartlett Bar and Lounge, where a DJ ensures the party continues well into the night. With a bar open until midnight and space for dancing, the festive cheer flows seamlessly. Up to 36 guests can stay overnight in The Pear Tree’s 18 beautifully appointed bedrooms, ensuring a stress-free end to the evening and the perfect opportunity to extend the celebrations into the next morning.
For smaller groups, the shared Christmas party nights are a convenient and festive option, featuring the same high-quality dining, entertainment, and ambiance, all pre-organised to let you focus on the fun.
