1) Christmas in Derby


While you’re not busy opening presents and enjoying all the Christmas food, then you can enjoy more of what Derby has to offer over the festive period. Chatsworth House, farmhouse and gardens are wonderfully decorated from early November which makes for a beautiful family day-out. While gazing at the gorgeous decorations you can also wander around the Christmas markets

2) Delicious food


Here at The Boars Head, we will take care of you and your family from the moment you arrive. On Christmas Eve, you will be treated to a three-course meal in a festive atmosphere complemented by a wonderful local brass band. On Christmas Day, we make sure to keep everyone energised for opening presents with our delicious Christmas breakfast. Then, you can look forward to your seven-course Christmas dinner, and if you are still hungry then you can join us for our buffet supper! On Boxing Day, we will provide hearty breakfasts plus a three-course dinner when you are back from Boxing Day sale shopping. We wouldn’t let you leave hungry – join us for the perfect send-off with another delicious breakfast before you set off home – the perfect ending to a luxurious Christmas of delicious food!
