Guests who had pre-paid for Christmas Party Nights prior to the VAT reduction on 1 December 2008 were offered the option of a refund, a future discount at Rudding Park or donating their credit to St Michael’s Hospice, one of Rudding Park’s nominated charities.

Peter Banks, Managing Director of Rudding Park, commented, “We are delighted to have raised a significant sum for such a worthy cause. It was a simple but effective idea – my thanks to our guests for their generosity.”

About Rudding Park
Rudding Park is independently owned by Simon Mackaness and his family. Over the last 30 years they have carried out a comprehensive programme of improvement and redevelopment, which includes the opening of Rudding Holiday Park in 1978, the renovation of Rudding Park House in 1987 and the subsequent opening of the 50-room hotel in 1997.

The estate also comprises an 18 hole, par 72 golf course set in mature Parkland, complemented by an 18 bay floodlit driving range and Golf Academy. A new development of 18 luxury holiday lodges adjacent to the golf course opened in May 2006 and a par-three six-hole short course opened in April 2008.
