As the year draws to a close and we think about fresh beginnings, why not welcome 2026 in unforgettable style at the Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa ? This stunning historic venue in Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire, with its turrets, wood-panelled rooms and timeless charm, provides the perfect backdrop for a New Year celebration to remember.
The highlight of the festive season at Mercure Dunkenhalgh is its New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner. This evening promises glamour, fine dining and plenty of sparkle as you bid farewell to the old year and send a warm welcome to the new. Set to take place on 31st December 2025, guests are invited to arrive in the early evening and settle in for an exquisite experience.
The celebration begins with a welcome cocktail and canapés that set the tone for the evening. From there, you’ll enjoy a sumptuous multi-course gala dinner, crafted with care and designed to delight even the most discerning palate. Dining in such an historic and atmospheric setting adds an extra layer of magic to the night.
But the fun doesn’t end with dinner. After your meal, live vocal entertainment and a DJ will keep spirits high and the dance floor lively as you step into 2026 with style and energy. Whether you’re dancing the night away or raising a toast at midnight, the party atmosphere at Mercure Dunkenhalgh makes this one of the most exciting ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Lancashire.
For those who want to make a real night of it, accommodation and party packages are available. Booking a stay not only lets you enjoy the festivities without worrying about the journey home, it also means you can relax in the hotel’s spa and leisure facilities either before or after your celebrations. A morning swim, a spa session or a leisurely breakfast the next day makes the whole experience feel like a mini-break rather than just a party.
Mercure Dunkenhalgh’s festive programme doesn’t stop at New Year’s Eve. Throughout December, the hotel hosts a range of Christmas and holiday party nights, from classic disco evenings to themed celebrations, giving friends, families and colleagues plenty of opportunities to come together in festive cheer.
Whether you’re planning a glamorous night out with friends, a romantic dinner to remember, or a mix of celebration and relaxation, New Year at Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa promises style, spirit and a warm welcome into 2026.
