Feeling festive? This is your chance to sing some of your favourite carols and enjoy the sound of the Chester and District Male Voice Choir at Eaton Courtyard. After the singing, enjoy a delicious hog roast, a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine. If you are good, a special guest may even make a visit!

This event is open to employees and their families/guests only.
Numbers are limited at this event due to the number of car parking spaces at the Courtyard.
Eaton staff are permitted to book one car ticket only, subject to availability. (Anyone you invite needs to travel to the Courtyard with you in one vehicle only).
Access is via the Eccleston/Aldford Gates only.
This is an open-air event so wrap up warm! We will go ahead in the Open Courtyard even if there is drizzle. The event will only be relocated to the covered courtyard between the open archways if it is raining.
In order to arrange the catering, when booking you will be asked to confirm the number of guests you are bringing in your car, also advising the number of children aged 12 and under within your party. Children will be catered for separately.
Don't forget to advise any special dietary requirements.
Christmas jumpers optional but encouraged!
Please contact eaton.events@grosvenor.com if you required a disabled parking space or have any other queries.
If for any reason you have a family member/guest travelling separately, please arrange to rendezvous with your guest prior to driving to the Courtyard (e.g you are permitted to leave cars in the Estate Office back car park and collect after the event). We are unable to accommodate more than one car per booking at the Courtyard - thank you. Please let Security know about any family/friends arriving at the outer gate if they are arriving at Eaton Park without an employee present.
