Thornbury Castle Christmas Package 2024

Roaring log fireplaces, Tudor décor and unparalleled service are but a few reasons to make Thornbury Castle your destination of choice this Christmas. This once-royal residence resonates with history, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a seasonal break to remember.

The property is located in South-west England, close to the historic city of Bath, and is easy to reach from all of England’s major cities, including London. From London, take the 90-minute train ride to Bristol, followed by a 30-minute taxi journey to the castle, or drive directly in approximately 2 hours.

Enjoy a complimentary bottle of Champagne upon arrival, when you book through Celtic Castles!
