The Cotswolds are spectacular in the winter, there’s so much to see and do.

Start with a glide around the specially created ice rink otherwise known as The Great Skate at Blenheim Palace. We then suggest The Spectacle of Light at Sudeley Castle. Take in the delights of The Cotswold Reindeer Herd from November 24 with VIP tickets available on December 24 for the very lucky. Finally, if you’re staying in Painswick, The Enchanted Forest by Night at Rococo Garden.

No festive tour of the south would be complete without a visit to London. It can be hard to know where to start, so here’s a handful of our favourite must-do festive events.

Skating at Somerset House is an absolute tradition at Christmas time – This year you can enjoy skate lessons, glide around to chill-out sessions by DJs and enjoy all the scrummy Christmas fayre you know and love from Somerset House. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is a vast festival of all things festive and an absolute must for the city-goer this time of year. Open from 24th November all the way through to 5th January, this festival features ice sculpting, ice bars, a real ice slide for sledging, fairground attractions, and of course all the festive dining you could hold in your woolly-mittened hand. The city itself is spectacular by night, so we’d always recommend a London by Night bus tour – the perfect way to take in the city this time of year.

After a truly festive overload, we’d suggest a stop-off at our favourite Balfour pubs in the city too, especially if you’re staying at our very own Bull and Hide.
