Christmas

There's no better time to visit Winchester than at Yuletide! The city comes into its own at this time of year, not least of all because of the now famous Christmas Market at Winchester Cathedral.

With nearly half a million extra visitors in December, the city gets very, very busy. For this reason, if you're thinking of including a trip to Cabinet Rooms in your plans for this festive season, we would recommend booking in advance.

There are different options available to you depending on the size of your group and how long you would like to spend here. You can find more information about booking a table on our Bookings page.

OPENING HOURS

PARTIES

Our rooms downstairs can be booked for up to 25 people for either a whole evening or just a 90 minute slot, so you can get together for a pre-dinner drink. There's no room hire charge but we do ask for a minimum spend. This varies dependent on the size of your group. Visit our bookings page for more details.

We get super busy at Christmas and so we are unable to take party bookings without a pre-order. You can find our current pre-order form here.

FREE PROSECCO!

Book and pay your deposit before 1st October and we'll give you a bottle of prosecco on the evening of your party.* You can either drink it there and then or take it home with you as a pat on the back for doing all the party planning!

* Terms and Conditions. The bottle of prosecco will be given free of charge to the person who placed the booking. No alternative product or cash alternative will be offered. The offer is only valid for bookings made and confirmed up receipt of the deposit before 1st October 2024 for parties between 22nd November 2024 and  31st December 2024. The offer of a free bottle of prosecco will be null and void if the booking is cancelled. The price of the bottle of prosecco will not contribute towards the minimum spend on the night.
