Welcome news for post Lockdown number two will be the grand opening, finally, ofThe LodgeKitchen & Bar at Brockenhurst's friendly local family owned and run four star Balmer Lawn Hotel.For those who once hoped to be skiing over the next few weeks an aprs-ski theme is some compensation!

On Friday December 4, winter Olympic legend, Eddie The Eagle Edwards will officially open the new aprs-ski style venue, The Lodge Kitchen & Bar at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, kicking off the start of a much needed festive season of a kind.

(That in itself will bring back memories - see notes below!)

The Lodge Kitchen & Bar will be open every evening throughout the season and at weekends playing host to Christmas-Fest themed evenings. Tables of up to six people will be able to celebrate with festive street food and party tunes.

The first night of festive fun will begin on Friday December 4 at 6.30pm as Eddie The Eagle joins the team in welcoming guests through the door of the indoor/outdoor alpine lodge experience.

Balmer Lawn Hotel General Manager, Michael Clitheroe, said, Christmas is 100% on at Balmer Lawn Hotel and we want to make sure that each and every one of our guests has an experience to remember. The new stretch tent has been transformed into an alpine wonderland complete with festoon lights, cosy blankets and a Gozney pizza oven.

The clear weatherproof walls provide amazing views of the New Forest whilst ensuring everyone is kept snug inside. Christmas-Fest is going to have an amazing party atmosphere albeit a socially distanced one!

Guests wishing to join in the fun should book a table now via http://www.balmerlawnhotel.co.uk.

Tables are getting booked up in advance by people wanting to secure a Christmas experience to share with family and friends. I would recommend securing your table now to avoid disappointment, Michael adds.

Note about Eddie the Eagle as promised! The mention of his name brings a smile to the faces of those who remember him. Born in 1963, in 1988 he became the first Olympic ski-jump competitor since 1928 to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping. He finished last in the 70 m and 90 m events. He also however held the British ski jumping record from 1988 to 2001.
