  Tuck into seasonal food and drinks throughout the evening and then head to Lydiard Park Hotel for comforting pie and mash, or burgers and frankfurters to take away.

  The Coach House tea rooms will be open too, serving hot drinks, confectionery and offering a selection of Christmas gifts. Plus, this year, they're excited to welcome Gurt Wings – treat yourself to freshly fried chicken, cheesy STIX and crispy tater tots!
