Après Ski Party

The Ultimate Christmas Party Experience in Kent

Escape the ordinary this winter and ascend to The Peak of Kent. We are transforming Shires Oast at The Hop Farm into an immersive, high-altitude Alpine retreat that trades traditional seated turkey dinners for the high-octane energy of Chamonix and Val d'Isere.

Your journey begins at 'Base Camp', where you’ll step through gentle snowfall to be greeted with a steaming cup of Glühwein and other activities. Explore our themed alpine street food featuring four authentic outlets from the theatre of live-scraped Swiss Raclette to the comfort of German Bratwurst. As the night heats up, head to the 'Main Slope', where you'll find a powerhouse DJ and live saxophone residency, synchronised "Shot-Skis," and the spectacular fire ritual of the Feuerzangenbowle await. It’s more than a party; it’s a high-energy alpine festival designed to break the ice and keep the lodge dancing until the final lift.

Friends, Family & The Big Night Out

Gather your crew and experience a Christmas party that actually feels like a festival. Designed for those who want more than just a dinner, our public nights are the ultimate destination for friends and family looking to celebrate in style. Whether you're navigating the alpine street food stalls at your own pace or taking on the "Shot-Ski" with your siblings, the atmosphere is electric, inclusive, and built for making memories that last well beyond the festive season.

We can also offer the themed venue for larger private parties. Please email: james.yoxall@shiresoast.co.uk for more details.
