Santa's helpers will be bring Christmas early to a Stratford hotel with a Bavarian themed Christmas wonderland this month.

The Legacy Falcon Hotel has joined forces with Coventry-based LRS Productions to host a festive Christmas showcase weekend on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18.

Complimentary drinks and nibbles will be served between 6pm and 8pm on June 17 and from 10am to 5pm the following day as Santa's little helpers will be on hand to discuss Christmas packages with event organisers and PAs.

The highlight of the two-day showcase will be a Bavarian dinner and disco on June 18 at 7pm when a traditional Oompah band, four-course meal and dancing will get party-goers in the mood for thinking about Christmas at the Chapel Street hotel. 

Sian Pirone, national account and agency sales manager at the Legacy Falcon Hotel, said despite it being the summer months this was the time of year when event organisers started to plan their office festive outings.

"LRS Productions will set up the function suite in a pretty winter Bavarian theme which is why we have organised this showcase weekend for guests to see it for themselves.

"We have also arranged a Bavarian dinner and disco in June  to give Christmas organisers a taster of the fun in store at the Falcon hotel this December.

"We are conscious that the cost of taking out workers can be prohibitive in these tough economic times which is why we have concentrated on providing a fun Christmas themed night without the price being too high.

"Throughout December, one of our bedrooms will be converted into a Santa's Grotto for children during the day and adults in the evening because no-one likes to miss out on a visit to Father Christmas!

"There will also be a sleigh in the garden for guests to have their photos taken on and all in all we think this will be a really magical Christmas for guests who hold their parties here." 

Appointments are not necessary for the drinks and nibbles events - people can just call into the hotel to have a look at the Bavarian-themed room and talk to staff. 

Tickets for the Bavarian dinner and disco on Saturday 18th June are priced at £19.50 are available by emailing mev-falcon@legacy-hotels.co.uk or by telephoning 08444 119005.
