If you want to spend Christmas Day away from home the hotel offers a three night sleep over package so that families can enjoy the festive period together but not have to deal with all the stresses associated with the big day.

Kate Firth, Managing Director at Ye Olde Bell said: "Christmas is all about spending time with the people who matter most.

“We know many families are welcoming grandparents, relatives and loved ones from across the country, so we've created festive packages that allow everyone to celebrate together without the pressure of hosting at home.

“Guests can enjoy great food, entertainment and comfortable accommodation while making the most of valuable family time.
