Luxury hotel and country estate Matfen Hall, Northumberland’s first and only AA five-star hotel, is set to welcome the festive season in style with two enchanting experiences.
Guests can embrace the artistry of the season with an exclusive Wreath Making Masterclass, hosted by local florist Kate Norris of Northumbrian Flowers. Taking place on 28th November and 5th December, this special event invites guests to create their own bespoke wreath using seasonal foliage grown in the Northumberland countryside. The class is complemented by a luxurious Christmas lunch in the Sapphire Dining Room, combining creativity with the estate’s renowned culinary excellence.
For families, Matfen Hall will transform into a winter wonderland as it welcomes a very special visitor. Father Christmas will be at the estate between 5th–7th December, 12th–14th December and again on the 20th December, offering children the chance to meet him in his festive workshop. Each child will enjoy hot chocolate, a festive gift, and time in the creative colouring station, while accompanying adults can share in the seasonal cheer with complimentary drinks.
These events further highlight Matfen Hall’s reputation as the region’s most prestigious festive destination. With its Grade II-listed setting, elegant interiors, and 300 acres of Northumberland parkland, the estate provides a truly magical backdrop for creating unforgettable Christmas memories. From family-friendly experiences to refined seasonal dining, Matfen Hall continues to blend tradition with world-class hospitality.
James O’Donnell, Head of Commercial Development at Matfen Hall, said: “Christmas is a time for connection, celebration and contentment – and as Northumberland’s first and only five-star destination, Matfen Hall is proud to offer experiences that truly reflect Christmas’ quintessential spirit of indulgence. From the wonder of a child meeting Father Christmas, to a luxurious stay that captures the true opulence of the season, every detail has been designed to make this your most magical Christmas.”

Whether for couples, families, or friends, this five-star destination ensures every guest enjoys a Christmas filled with magic, luxury, and lasting memories.
