Christmas comes early at Hilton Puckrup Hall ∙ Free networking event

Yes, on 10 September Christmas will be 15 weeks away, but if there’s ever a good excuse to start thinking about it a little early, this might just be it. Hilton Puckrup Hall Hotel & Golf Club near Tewkesbury is getting into the festive spirit with a Christmas Showcase and Networking Event, bringing together local businesses, festive inspiration, good food and drink, and plenty of opportunity for a chat.

Taking place from 4pm to 7pm, the event is completely free and you can drop in at any point during the afternoon and early evening.

∙ A FESTIVE SHOWCASE WITH A DIFFERENCE ∙

The event is being held in partnership with Light Up Christmas and Bright Vision Events, with the team at Puckrup Hall creating a relaxed Christmas-themed showcase rather than your typical networking event.

There’ll be festive inspiration to explore alongside nibbles and drinks, plus a cocktail masterclass and cheese and wine tasting.

It’s a chance to discover some of what goes into creating a brilliant Christmas event, whether you’re starting to think about your own celebrations, planning something for your team or clients, or simply fancy an early taste of Christmas.

∙ COME FOR THE SHOWCASE, STAY FOR THE CONVERSATIONS ∙

We’re always fans of events that bring local businesses together without making networking feel too much like networking.

There’s no need to arrive at 4pm on the dot or stay for the full three hours. The event runs from 4pm until 7pm, so you can pop in when it suits you, have a look around, enjoy some food and drink, meet the people involved, and hopefully make a few new connections along the way.

And with cocktails, cheese, wine, and Christmas thrown into the mix, there should be plenty to get the conversations started.

∙ BRINGING THE CHRISTMAS MAGIC ∙

A big part of the festive atmosphere will come courtesy of Light Up Christmas, who’ll be helping to transform Puckrup Hall and bring the Christmas vibe properly to life. From beautiful trees and twinkling lights to garlands, table centrepieces, and all those little details that make a space suddenly feel wonderfully festive, this is a chance to see what they can create.

Their Christmas styling ranges from traditional and elegant to more contemporary looks, so expect plenty of inspiration for Christmas parties, events, businesses, and venues.

∙ CHRISTMAS AT PUCKRUP HALL ∙

Set in 140 acres of Gloucestershire countryside close to Tewkesbury, Puckrup Hall is already a lovely setting for getting people together, and the Christmas Showcase offers the opportunity to see the hotel dressed with the festive season in mind.

Whether you’re a local business owner, work in events or hospitality, are responsible for organising the office Christmas party, or simply enjoy meeting other people from the local business community, everyone is welcome.
