Set within 275 acres of Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle offers a festive setting made for gathering well. Think glowing fires, elegant dining rooms, countryside views, beautifully dressed spaces and the kind of atmosphere that turns a work celebration into something guests will remember.
Whether you are thanking a team, rewarding clients, gathering a department or planning a larger company occasion, our festive events can be shaped around your group, your style and the experience you want to create.

For leadership lunches, client entertaining, senior team dinners and more intimate company celebrations, private dining offers the comfort of your own space within the castle.
Your guests can arrive through the estate, step into the atmosphere of Bovey at Christmas and sit down to a beautifully prepared festive menu in one of our elegant private rooms. It is polished, personal and easy to arrange, with the sense of occasion already built in.
Private dining is best suited to groups from around 8 guests. For smaller evening groups, dining from the à la carte menu in the Great Western Grill may be available, subject to availability.
