Lunch, a lavish festive buffet, is available from mid-day in the elegant Richard Towneley Suite, our magnificent early 20th century chapel built by the Order of Notre Dame and adorned with some of the finest examples of Harry Clark stained glass windows. Our jazz trio play throughout to add a little extra Christmas Spirit.
