Christmas Jumpers Are Always Welcome at the Lodge

The Winter Lodge has one dress code, and it's this: Christmas jumpers welcome. Wear the reindeer, the flashing lights, the one your nan knitted. Nobody at the Lodge will think twice about it, because half the room will be wearing one too.

It started as a bit of fun and it's now part of the place. Groups turn up in matching jumpers for a work do, friends agree on a theme, and every December somebody comes in wearing a jumper that has more lights than our ceiling.

Plan a jumper night

If you're organising a Christmas night out in Preston, a jumper theme is the easiest way to make it feel like an event. It costs next to nothing, it gets everyone talking before the first drink arrives, and it makes for far better photos than another night in work clothes.

Paper crowns optional, jumpers encouraged

Some ideas we've seen work well:

  • A prize for the worst jumper at the table, voted for by everyone else.
  • Matching jumpers for a team, bought in one go.
  • Homemade only: extra points for glue, tinsel and bells.

Whatever you wear, the blankets are on the house if the jumper isn't warm enough. Book a hut for your jumper night, from 14 November.
