Christmas at Sudeley

November 26, 2026, 6:30 pm - 11:30 pm

Hosted by Lady Ashcombe, Christmas at Sudeley is a black-tie fundraising soirée featuring fine dining, entertainment, and exclusive experiences.

Guests will begin with a private walkthrough of the Spectacle of Light, closed to the public for the evening. Thousands of lights illuminate the castle grounds in a magical, immersive display, culminating in a festive choir performance.

The trail leads to a drinks and canapé reception with high-class entertainment within the castle. Followed by a festive three course feast. After dinner, a curated auction of rare items precedes further celebration.

Expect a glittering guest list of celebrities, philanthropists, VIPs, and business leaders.

More than 100,000 children and young people are living with complex medical needs. Many are stuck in hospital for months and years simply because there isn’t the support to get them home. Many more are isolated at home without the support they desperately need.
