Anyone know when the Christmas lights will be turned on in Castleton this year? And also, any nice hotels around there, regardless of price, to stay in for a few days?

"The Castle" is good but they recently had a fire. I don't know how badly damaged they were. They may be open again now.

That's all I can seem to find too... ah well, I'll keep trying.

Chloe, according to a website I've found the Castleton Christmas lights are switched on in 2004 on November 20th.

The castle is ok but you don't get a full English breakfast - and it's a'chain' pub.
Why not try Swiss House on How Lane. They do a fab full English and have super rooms.
The lights were turned on on 17th Nov so you missed the switch on but they look really good now anyway!!

they were turned on about 2 weeks ago
