T
he countdown for Christmas seems to begin the minute we get back from our summer holidays. Mums and Dads across the land start dreading the endless shopping and preparation ahead of them and wondering if they can really face inviting Aunty Joan for the tenth Christmas in a row. But it doesn’t have to be like that. If the stress and strain of planning Christmas makes you feel more like Scrooge than Santa, let Away Resorts wave its festive fairy wand and transport you to our Winter Wonderland at Mill Rythe on Hayling Island. At the weekends in the run-up to Christmas, you can enjoy a number of family-focused Winter Wonderland breaks. This year we have also introduced our very own pantomime! And over Christmas itself, from 23 to 27 December, there’s the four-day Christmas Special. This really is the perfect Yuletide stress buster – and of course you can invite all the family. Best of all, because it’s full board you won’t have to spend hours and hours preparing Christmas Day dinner followed by all the arguments about who is going to do the washing up. To brighten up those quiet days between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve we’ve created the three-day Betwixtmas break, before Mill Rythe cranks up the party atmosphere to welcome in the New Year with a threenight New Year Special Celebration break. Our brilliant Entertainment Team at Mill Rythe pull out all of the stops to provide the most truly festive experience anyone could wish for during all of these Christmas breaks. We’ll present our very own interpretation of the antics of Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past. We’ve also introduced our very own pantomime this year for even more festive fun!
