We've just about recovered from this year's 'bd2 Christmas do' at the Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa Hotel on the shores of Lake Windermere. Following the success of last year's event we returned to the newly refurbished hotel for another black tie, Big Band and casino night.

The Low Wood has now completed its renovation program and the facilities are first class, including health spa, luxurious rooms, and incredible views over the lake. We always enjoy the English Lakes Hotels Christmas party nights, but we had such a fantastic time last year at the Big Band and onsite casino night, it was the obvious choice again for this year.

Descending on the impressive hotel last Saturday afternoon, the team enjoyed some R&R (or time in the bar), before meeting early evening for champagne and canapes. We then tucked into a delicious four course dinner with an array of wines which all went down a treat, leaving everyone well-fed and ready to party.

The onsite casino, live band and flow of drinks meant the team spirit went on well into the night and it was a miracle everyone made it down to breakfast the following morning. A little fresh air by the lake cleared most of the fuzzy heads before making the trip back to Wigan and beyond on Sunday.

The night was the perfect beginning to the Christmas festivities and enjoyed by the whole team.

We’d like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
