The benefit of staying in a hotel is that you can have your own personal bar in your room! Note your personal bottles / containers of drink are not permitted in public area’s. These must remain in your hotel room at all times.
Bar #1 – The Avenue
There will be a full bar available in The Avenue throughout most of the event
Bar #2 – Benedicts’ Bar
This is located at the end of the Avenue and will be open during the two parties.
Tuck Shop
You’ll be able to top up on snacks, sweets, slush drinks, Ice and bottles of drink from our tuck shop. This will run throughout most of the weekend from within the Avenue Bar.
Previous attendees will be used to having food included throughout the weekend. This year we’ve reduced the package price, and removed lunch and dinner from the package. This has been done in order to provide you with flexible dining options that benefit you financially and logistically, whilst allowing us to focus on executing the event itself. Our positive experience earlier this year at Royal Ascot proved that this model works more effectively all round.
The restaurant will be run independently by a catering company, alongside an additional option of food from a vendor truck on the grounds. You simply pay for what you want, when you want it!
You will still have the opportunity to dress up and sit down for dinner in the restaurant on New Year’s Eve if you wish, and you will be able to pre book dining options via the caterer’s website.
Further info
With regard to lunch and dinner, we have observed a consistent trend over the past two years, wherein a considerable number of attendees opted to purchase food externally at various intervals over the course of the two days.
This year, we have made the strategic decision to afford all our guests the flexibility to select both the timing and location for their lunch and dinner, as opposed to the automatic inclusion of hotel-provided meals.
Two supplementary advantages for our valued customers include reduced wait times and an overall reduction in package costs.
