As the crisp air of winter streams in over the rolling Yorkshire Dales, Broughton Sanctuary transforms into a winter wonderland, offering a unique blend of nature and wellbeing experiences for those looking to celebrate the festive season in a grounded style. Whether you are gathering with family, friends, or colleagues, this exclusive-use destination promises to create remarkable memories against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most stunning landscapes.

A Winter Escape Like No Other

Imagine stepping into a place where ancient history meets modern luxury. Broughton Hall, a 16th-century stately home nestled within a 3,000-acre estate, was named by National Geographic as one of the Top 30 Coolest Places to visit in the world. And it’s easy to see why. With expansive woodlands, cosy fireside gatherings, and a state-of-the-art wellbeing centre, the Hall offers the perfect winter escape. This isn’t just another holiday destination—this is where festive cheer meets natural beauty.

The Ultimate Festive Experience

Winter at Broughton Hall is designed to elevate your seasonal celebrations. Think walking boots, sequins, and woodland saunas. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in the magic of the season. Here’s what you can expect:

Day 1: Arrive to a warm welcome with tea, coffee, and canapés in the Conservatory. Settle into one of the 17 luxurious rooms in the Historic House before taking a leisurely walk through the grounds to the Fire Temple. There, enjoy an evening of flames, fables, and festive activities—whether you prefer singing carols or rhythmic drumming under the stars.

Day 2: Start your day with a hearty breakfast before indulging in the serenity of the Avalon Wellbeing Centre. Unwind in the 20m indoor pool, enjoy a hydro-massage, or opt for rejuvenating therapies like float tanks and crystal light therapy. Later, experience true Wild Wellbeing with an open-water swim, cold immersion ice barrels, woodland saunas, outdoor hot tub and a campfire. Return to the Hall, ready to shine and sparkle as you enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the Library, a fine-dining experience from our Executive Chef, Paul Jowett, and after dinner drinks in the Red Drawing Room.

Day 3: After a farewell breakfast, take one last walk through the frosty grounds before bidding goodbye to this magical place…or extend your stay to a third night and truly embrace the rural retreat experience.

Executive Chef Paul Jowett will work closely with you to create bespoke menus tailored to your preferences. From breakfast to dinner, every meal is crafted to ensure that your dining experience is as memorable as your surroundings. Whether you’re enjoying a seasonal feast in the stately Green Dining Room or sipping pre-dinner drinks in the Library, each moment is steeped in elegance.

Wild Wellbeing in Nature’s Playground

One of the most unique aspects of a winter stay at Broughton Hall is the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. The estate’s 3,000 acres offer endless adventures, from wild swimming in the reservoir to hiking the breathtaking Odyssey Trail. Winter adds an extra layer of magic, with the possibility of catching a dusting of snow across the Yorkshire Moors and Dales valleys. The outdoor experience culminates in a truly one-of-a-kind Wild Wellbeing session, where guests can gather around a campfire, relax in a woodland sauna, or take the plunge in a cold immersion ice barrel.
