This year Dewsall in Herefordshire are offering something a little different from your typical Christmas Party. Guests are invited to get rugged up in their best furs for a glamourous Scandinavian themed evening of fire, ice, great food and dancing in the Wainhouse that holds between 35 and 140 guests.

The Fur, Fire and Ice parties can be booked for private parties or alternatively joiner parties with tables of up to 18 throughout December. There will be a paid bar, Hot Apple Grog on arrival and choices such as 'Salmon Gravadlax on a Beetroot Rosti with Horseradish Crème Fraiche' for starter, 'Slow Fire Cooked Lamb Marinated with Beer & Honey' for main course, and for dessert, 'Chocolate Cherry Baked Alaska with Kirsch' followed by some delicious, warming real hot chocolate.

As guests arrive on the 15 acre country estate the drive way will be lined with fire torches leading party-goers to the Wainhouse that will be decorated in true Scandinavian style with heating, a burning log fire and candles everywhere.

Dress code will be furs and woolies and after the delicious food guests will be free to dance the night away under the stars at this truly magical location right in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside.  

Tickets for the Fur, Fire and Ice parties will be £40 per head and accomodation is also available in the main house which has ten stunning bedrooms complete with feature bathrooms and sleeps 23 for £80 per person including breakfast. There is also accomodation available at nearby Inn 'The Kilpeck' which has four additional bedrooms. Dewsall Court is available for both corporate and private exclusive use bookings throughout the
year.
