A Festive Banquet to Remember at Kingsmills Hotel
This Hogmanay, the Kingsmills Hotel will unveil a spectacular transformation of its Lounge and Conservatory into a lavish banquet hall rich in charm and festive cheer. The venue, renowned for its warm Highland hospitality, will set the stage for an evening filled with revelry and elegance.
At the heart of the night’s entertainment, local legends The Anne Dickson Band will light up the space with lively tunes, ensuring the dance floor stays full and spirits soar until the early hours of 2025. Guests will enjoy a sumptuous three-course menu headlined by a prime roasted beef fillet, thoughtfully paired with half a bottle of wine per person, and toast the midnight hour with a glass of Prosecco.
Tickets are priced at £110, which also includes a sparkling glass of bubbly on arrival to kick-start the night’s festivities. Set against the backdrop of Kingsmills’ renowned atmosphere, this Hogmanay celebration promises an evening that blends traditional Highland festivity with a touch of contemporary sophistication. This evening is in high demand, however, reservations are still available with overnight stay packages available also.
5-Star Elegance by the River at Ness Walk
For those seeking a more intimate yet equally spectacular setting, the award-winning Ness Walk invites guests to their exclusive Hogmanay celebration in their Riverbank Room. With panoramic views of the fire-lit courtyard and the tranquil River Ness beyond, the venue exudes refined luxury.
Guests will be welcomed with a glass of champagne and canapés, setting the tone for the evening. The highlight of the night? A decadent six-course menu, designed to dazzle even the most discerning palates.
