FESTIVE BREAKS
at Peebles Hydro Hotel
Warmest of seasonal welcomes to Peebles Hydro. We’ve put together a packed festive programme for all ages to take part in. You’ve worked hard all year, now it’s time for you to unwind, relax and enjoy yourself, whilst we look after you.
There’s loads going on, to find out more check your copy of the activity programme or the TV in the Miller Lounge near Reception. There’s loads going on including Family activities, movies every day, air rifles, archery, a Christmas quiz, 1881 gin tasting, cocktail classes, and of course lots of music and dancing. The arts & crafts table will be open every day in The Regency for you to pop in and be creative.
Just remember to sign up for what you fancy as some sessions have restricted numbers. It’s always best to check the information boards each day as some times and locations may change.
You won’t go hungry while you are here, you can tuck into breakfast, lunch and dinner. If they fancy it, kids can enjoy High Tea in the Restaurant Christmas Eve and Boxing Day from 5 to 6pm. Please remember you must book your table for Christmas Day Lunch with Reception, all you need to do is select a time. It’s even better to plan ahead, you can book your table when you arrive, no need to wait until on the day. Feeling a bit peckish later on Christmas Day, enjoy some super food from the buffet in the evening. Family Supper will be available in the Restaurant from 6.30pm until 8.00pm.
On Christmas Eve we’ve got lots of activities lined up for you, come along and try our new 1881 gins anytime between 2.30pm & 5pm at the gin palace and at 5.30pm get even more into the festive spirit with a Christmas carols sing-a-long. Just grab your carol sheet and join the lovely Simon Ellis & The Hydro Team in the Lounge. After dinner we’ll see you in the Ballroom for some energetic ceilidh dancing from 9.30pm.
After a lazy Christmas morning, Santa has promised to make a special stop at the Hydro before heading back home for a well-deserved rest. Join Santa and the Elves for some fun and games in The Regency at 11am. Before lunch, have a glass of festive fizz in the Lounge from 12.45pm, before tucking into a traditional festive lunch with all the trimmings.
