Christmas in Folkestone and the White Cliffs

Join us at the 4-star Clifton Hotel in Folkestone, with stunning views of the Kent coastline, for a wonderful festive break. Enjoy a warm welcome on arrival with tea, coffee and mince pies. Your festive package includes a traditional Christmas Day lunch at the hotel. We also visit historic Canterbury, where the city's medieval streets are beautifully decorated with lights, garlands and Christmas trees over the holidays. Walking through the cobbled lanes around Canterbury Cathedral feels especially magical. On Boxing Day, a visit to the dramatic White Cliffs is a great way to round off this winter coastal escape, with some welcome sea air and a chance to stretch your legs after all that indulgence.

We enjoy tea or coffee with a mince pie on arrival to get us into the Christmas spirit. Dinner this evening will be served in the hotel restaurant.

We enjoy a morning visit to Canterbury on Christmas Eve. One of England's most beautiful and historic cities, it is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Canterbury hosts a Christmas market with over 120 festive stalls offering treats and gifts. Famous for its stunning stained glass windows, the cathedral is a must-visit in your free time.

Beyond the cathedral, wandering the historic city centre is especially magical at this time of year, with its cobbled streets, half-timbered buildings and vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs.

We return to the hotel for a 2-course lunch, plus a 'guess the weight of the Christmas cake' competition. Relax in the hotel or take a stroll into Folkestone this afternoon before enjoying dinner this evening. Why not take part in the festive quiz after dinner with your fellow guests? Midnight Mass services are also available on request, with a hot chocolate available on return.
