Step Through the Wardrobe: The Beverley Arms Unveils a Magical Christmas Experience in the Heart of Yorkshire

This Christmas, The Beverley Arms, located in the historic centre of Beverley, East Riding, Yorkshire, is inviting guests to step through the wardrobe into a spectacularly festive world.

Inspired by the wonder and nostalgia of classic winter tales, the 38-room, 18th century coaching inn has transformed its entrance and courtyard into an immersive walk through experience. A giant wardrobe façade marks the start of the journey, leading guests through a beautifully dressed outdoor space filled with Christmas trees twinkling lights, enchanting décor, and cosy corners.

At the heart of the experience sits the courtyard with a warm, festively dressed canopy inspired by magical tales, where guests can enjoy seasonal dining, winter warmers, and a full programme of Christmas events. Designed for families, friends, and festive meet ups, it promises to be one of East Yorkshire’s most atmospheric winter destinations.
