Preparing for the birth of a baby is one of the most exciting times of your life, so why not share that joy and anticipation with friends and family at a tailor made baby event at either The Alverton in Truro or its sister hotel The Greenbank in Falmouth? Whether you're looking for high tea and gift giving, an activity day out for the girls, a stylish setting for a naming ceremony, or simply a relaxing weekend away before two become three, these luxury four star hotels cater for it all. 

Let Them Eat Cake

Whereas once the arrival of a baby was simply celebrated with a couple of drinks down the pub for the new dad, these days parties for the expectant mother are the choice du jour. Decide to spoil yourself at this special time, or arrange a little indulgence for a pregnant friend with a Baby Shower.

Costing just £15 per person for up to 16 people the baby shower is run by a Hug and Co Angel who offers a consultation prior to the event and with whom you can create a wish list of baby products for your guests to treat you to. The gifts will be brought ready wrapped to the party where you can enjoy stunning views from a private room and share afternoon tea with your nearest and dearest. As well as being utterly delectable, the food is all prepared to be pregnancy friendly, including homemade cake and scones, Rodda's clotted cream, strawberry jam, a selection of finger sandwiches, and local ham and chutney.

A Jewel of an Idea

For something a little different, a jewellery making workshop with Sarah Drew ticks the box, and ensures that everyone goes home with a beautiful handmade present. From £30 per person for up to 16 people, this is a relaxed and artistic workshop, allowing friends to enjoy each others' company. The hotels' luxurious and peaceful surroundings are bound to inspire your creativity, and you can work up an appetite for a delicious afternoon tea!

Over the Moon with a Babymoon

For many couples a pregnancy, particularly the first, can be slightly daunting as well as enormously exciting. A couple of nights away for some quiet time together before the arrival of the baby and the accompanying (joyful!) chaos can be a wonderful opportunity to rest and relax. And where better to spend your last holiday as a duo than an award winning hotel in Cornwall? Exceptional service, delicious dining and luxurious comfort mean you don't have to worry about a thing. Sit back, sip a mocktail, and enjoy the peace.

Naming Ceremonies

A new arrival is a time for great celebration, and a naming ceremony is a wonderful way to welcome a new addition to the family. Similar to a baptism or christening, but without any religious content, both The Alverton and The Greenbank have beautiful function rooms for just such an occasion, catering from 10 – 120 guests and offering a wide range of catering options from just £9.95 per person. With a private room and prior consultation with the events planner, the naming ceremony and celebration can be tailored to be personal and specific to your family.
