The webpage for this winter’s event reads: “Join us for a special ‘Evening at Balmoral’ this winter. On arrival you will be greeted by a traditional piper before experiencing an exclusive Castle Interior Tour.
“Following the tour you can then enjoy a specially curated seven course fine dining experience, inspired by the seven rooms you visit on the Castle Interior Tour.
“The meal will be complimented with paired wines and live music, served in our recently redesigned restaurant, creating a truly memorable experience.”
