Let’s be real; it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! Summer has packed away its suncream, the skies are looking moodier, the cosy knits are back out, and if you listen closely, you can almost hear Mariah Carey warming up in the distance.

In fact, Holiday Inn Bolton is already decking the halls and planning the must-attend Christmas celebrations for 2025. Whether you’re looking to gather colleagues for a work do, enjoy a night out with friends, or soak up some of the festive spirit with family, there’s something planned for everyone this year.

A Festive Venue for Every Celebration

Holiday Inn Bolton is pulling out all the stops to make this Christmas one to remember. Their versatile function suites cater for gatherings from 50 to 280 guests, so whether it’s an intimate get-together or a lavish party, you’ll feel right at home.

And when it comes to food? You’re in for a treat. From traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings (yes, pigs in blankets included!) to chestnut and sage gnocchi for the vegetarians, every plate is bursting with festive flavour.

Christmas in Cloisters – Party Like It’s Christmas Eve

One of the highlights of the season is Christmas in Cloisters. Picture this: an arrival drink in hand, two delicious courses, Christmas crackers to get everyone laughing, and a DJ playing all your favourite party hits until 00:30.

It’s the perfect recipe for a night of merriment. The atmosphere is nothing short of magical – think twinkling lights, festive decorations, and plenty of photo opportunities for the office Christmas album!

Mistletoe in Ashton – Casual Festive Fun

Looking for something a little more relaxed? Mistletoe in Ashton might be just the ticket. Guests can enjoy a tasty festive barm (yes, there’s a vegan option too), a warm mince pie, and then hit the dance floor for a night of festive fun.

Because let’s be honest, nothing says Christmas quite like dancing the night away to Mariah Carey.

Bespoke Parties & Afternoon Teas

If you fancy something more personal, Holiday Inn Bolton is offering private parties, afternoon teas, and Christmas lunches tailored just for you. This is ideal for those who want to create a truly unique celebration, whether it’s a corporate event or a family gathering, they’ll work with you to bring your vision to life.

Drinks, Dancing & Dreamy Stays

Of course, no festive celebration would be complete without a tipple or two. From buckets of beer and cocktail pitchers to alcohol-free options for the designated drivers, the drinks menu is designed to keep spirits bright and your feet dancing all night long.

And why go home when you can stay the night? After a night of feasting and dancing, guests can book one of the hotel’s comfortable bedrooms from just £85 including breakfast. No taxis, no stress, just a good night’s sleep and maybe a fry-up in the morning!

Don’t Leave It Too Late!

So, what are you waiting for? Whether you’re a seasoned planner who likes to get Christmas sorted early, or someone who loves a last-minute festive fling, Holiday Inn Bolton has got you covered.

Gather your friends, colleagues, or loved ones and make this year one to remember, after all, ‘tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry!
