This Christmas

Celebrate Christmas at The Maynard, tucked into the edge of Grindleford and surrounded by the beauty of the Peak District National Park. Whether you’re gathering with family, catching up with friends or bringing the whole team together, our venue offers a warm and welcoming setting for the season.

Throughout December we’ll be dressed for the occasion, with cosy corners, seasonal greenery and festive touches throughout. From our festive dining menus to indulgent afternoon teas, there’s plenty of ways to mark the season with us, alongside a calendar of events running right through the month.

Looking to make a night of it? Our rooms offer the perfect base to relax and unwind after an evening of celebrations, so you can wake up to the Peak District at its most magical.
