Whether you're gathering with friends, singing along to your favourite carols or planning a delicious Christmas feast at home, explore what's happening at Bentleys this festive season below!

With its own private bar and dedicated entrance, the Vat Room offers an exclusive setting for up to 50 guests seated or 90 guests cocktail-style, combining character, privacy and a little country hospitality.
