Trail # 2713 – 🎅 BH3 CHRISTMAS PARTY 🎅The Nightingale, Bicester – PP & Praying Mantis

The tinsel is out, the mince pies are calling, and it’s time for the highlight of the Hash calendar…

🎅 THE BICESTER HASH HOUSE HARRIERS CHRISTMAS PARTY 🎅

SUNDAY, 13th December 2026

🏃 11:00am – Fancy Dress Christmas Trail

As tradition demands, we’ll run a little before we feast a lot! We shall first pretend to be athletes before proving once again that we are really here for the food and drink. 😉

This Year’s Fancy Dress Theme

For a bit of extra Christmas fun, why not come dressed as a character, creature, or object inspired by the first letter of your Hash name?

So, if you’re Blue Nun – be Batman, a Banana, or …Blue, well, you get the idea. If you’re Cocktail – come as Cinderella, a Christmas Cracker or a… Carrot? or something completely unexpected, we’d love to see your creativity on display.

✨ There may even be a prize or two for the most imaginative costumes!

🍽️ 1:00pm – Christmas Lunch

The Nightingale
10 Nightingale Place, Bicester, OX26 6XX

Feel free to stay in costume for lunch and entertain the other guests (and perhaps bewilder a few locals) or bring a glamorous change of clothes. Sequins, Santa hats, Christmas jumpers, or full festive glamour, it’s completely your call. Wear whatever brings a little Christmas magic to your heart and a big smile to your face. 🎄✨

We’ve decided to skip the seating plan this year and leave things to festive chance. Choose a seat, enjoy the company, and let the Christmas magic do the rest!

🎁 The Important Bits

We’ll be enjoying a delicious three-course Christmas lunch for just £20 per person.
