Guests can look forward to a delicious three-course experience, freshly prepared by the hotel's talented chefs. Starters include Creamed Wild Mushroom & Chestnut Soup with chive oil and sourdough roll, and Smoked Salmon with Cucumber, Beets, and Apple & Celery Vinaigrette.

For the main course, diners can choose from a Butter Roasted Turkey Breast served with all the trimmings, including pigs in blankets, maple-glazed carrots and parsnips, Brussels sprouts, sage & onion stuffing and rich gravy, or enjoy something different with the Pan-Seared Wild Sea Bass or the Wild Mushroom & Butternut Squash Wellington, a hearty vegan-friendly option.

To finish, guests can indulge in a choice of Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce or a decadent Chocolate & Raspberry Brownie with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Wigan-based Goofus Theatre are bringing their blend of puppetry, story, images, music and mayhem to Stockport museums for all to enjoy!

Among the shows are:

  • Where do the Noses Grow? - One night Lucy cannot sleep. She hears a strange sound bouncing around her bed! What is it? She awakes and discovers a strange crumpled bit of brown paper, paper that seems to be alive… what can it be? It wants her to follow it. And so begins a fantastical journey full of strange encounters and play.
  • All in a Mouse's Night - A curious mouse, about in the house, could lead to all sorts of strange, magical, and fantastical adventures…

Most shows are suitable for children aged 0–5 and are SEN friendly

And the shows are free of charge, thanks to generous funding from UKSPF - however visitors are encouraged to reserve a ticket for everyone attending including adults.

Various dates will be running during November and December at Stockport Museum, Stockport Air Raid Shelters, Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery and Hat Works.
