Lochardil House to Shine This December with Festive Magic and Local Collaboration
This December, Lochardil House, part of the Highland Coast Hotels collection, will transform into the Highlands’ ultimate festive destination. In partnership with local event specialists KBE Event Services, the hotel is unveiling a line-up of magical experiences and entertainment designed to bring joy and community spirit to Inverness this holiday season.
Guests can look forward to a variety of celebrations throughout December, including: Christmas Party Nights with a 90’s theme, live entertainment, photo experiences and music; Christmas Day Carvery and Lunches with all the festive trimmings; and a spectacular Hogmanay Gala Dinner featuring live music, ceilidh bands, and lounge singers.
The highlight for families this year will be the brand-new Christmas Elf Light Walk! A magical, interactive experience running Thursdays to Sundays from 1st to 24th December at Lochardil House. Children and adults alike can join Twinkle the Elf on a sparkling adventure through the twinkling gardens to deliver Christmas wishes to Santa, complete with music, storytelling, and glowing trails. Early bird tickets are £12.50 per person (adults and children) until the end of September, increasing to £15.00 thereafter. Families are encouraged to bring children’s letters to Santa on the night.
To make the evening even more special, guests can enjoy ‘Fireside Suppers’ from 3pm to 8pm on light walk evenings, featuring hearty seasonal dishes and festive treats. Advance booking is recommended to secure your table.
This partnership reflects Highland Coast Hotels’ commitment to supporting local businesses and creating community-focused experiences. By joining forces with KBE Event Services, the collaboration blends hospitality, entertainment, and local expertise to deliver a festive programme that celebrates both tradition and innovation.
Kenny McMillan, Managing Director of Highland Coast Hotels, said “We’re delighted to introduce a brand-new calendar event for our local community here in Inverness. The gardens at Lochardil House provide the perfect setting for experiences like this, and with winter fast approaching, it’s fantastic to collaborate with a respected local company like KBE Events to bring something truly special and exciting for families in the area.”
Kai Logan, Owner of KBE Events, added “As someone with deep roots in the Lochardil and Holm community, this partnership is especially meaningful to me. Creating something fresh and memorable right here at Lochardil House has been a real passion project. Working alongside Highland Coast Hotels showcases the power of local businesses coming together to deliver experiences that our community can truly be proud of.”
With events designed for families, couples, groups, and party-goers, Lochardil House is set to be the heart of festive cheer in Inverness this December.
