Ten Days to Go: The Huts Are Going Up

The Winter Lodge opens on Saturday 14 November, and this week the huts are going back up on Friargate. Ten days to go.

The huts come out of storage first, then the garlands and the lights, then the blankets, cushions and the finishing touches: the nutcrackers, the star and Santa by the bar. By the end of next week it'll look like it never left.

Bookings for the opening weeks

If you want a hut for the opening weekend or a Friday in November, now is the time to reserve one. It's free, and you can still walk in on the night if you don't book.

Christmas parties

December weekends are where the pressure is. If you're still deciding where to hold your Christmas party, send us an enquiry this week with your date and numbers, and we'll let you know what's left.

Everything about this year's opening is on the 2026 season page. See you on the 14th.
