As the year winds down and the Shropshire countryside takes on its winter charm, Goldstone Hall Hotel & Gardens transforms into a haven of festive warmth and hospitality. Twinkling lights, the scent of mulled wine, and the crackle of open fires set the scene for a truly traditional country Christmas — filled with delicious food, creative workshops and the kind of comfort that makes you want to stay a little longer.

Festive Afternoon Tea – 28th November to 29th December

There’s something truly special about afternoon tea at Goldstone in winter. Take a seat in our orangery or by the fire and savour a spread inspired by the season — delicate finger sandwiches filled with turkey and cranberry, smoked salmon and cream cheese, and other savoury delights such as warm sausage and cranberry rolls. Then indulge with sweet festive treats – homemade scones served with Cheshire clotted cream and our own garden berry jam, rich chocolate log and traditional Christmas cake.

Enjoy it all with a pot of freshly brewed tea, aromatic coffee or even a glass of fizz — the perfect way to celebrate the season with loved ones.
