Win a festive afternoon tea for two at The Beverley Arms Hotel

Christmas is a busy time: the shopping, the wrapping, the plans and the people to see. It's easy to reach the end of December without having properly stopped. An afternoon tea is a very good reason to, with a pot of tea, a plate of something sweet and a cosy room in one of Beverley's most inviting venues to enjoy it in. This Christmas we've teamed up with The Beverley Arms Hotel to give one winner and a guest a festive afternoon tea for two. 

To enter, complete the entry form below by midnight on Sunday 29 November 2026. We'll pick one winner at random and contact them by email on Monday 30 November 2026. The afternoon tea can be enjoyed until 31 December 2026, subject to availability, so you can choose a date that suits you.

Why Beverley this Christmas?

Beverley is at its best at Christmas. The historic streets are decorated, the independent boutiques are full of gift ideas, and Flemingate adds the big-name brands, so you can cover most of your shopping in one trip. When you need a break, Tipi Christmas is back at Flemingate too: a fairy-lit tipi with a firepit at the centre and a bar serving hot chocolate and mulled wine.

Beverley is also a good place to stop for the day, with cosy cafés, traditional pubs, stylish cocktail bars and highly rated restaurants.

Then there are the events. The Beverley Festival of Christmas, on Sunday 13 December, is the UK’s largest single-day Christmas market, and thousands of people travel to East Yorkshire for it. The Beverley Minster Christmas Tree Festival (4 to 13 December) fills the Minster with dozens of decorated trees. And The Railway Children (3 to 24 December) will be delighting audiences at East Riding Theatre this Christmas.

Whether you come for a shopping trip, a day out or a night away, there’s plenty here to fill it.

Plan your visit to historic Beverley.
