Friday 25 December.

By lunchtime on Christmas Day, the wrapping paper is everywhere and breakfast was hours ago. Perfect timing. Christmas Brunch at The Strand arrives sharing-style, with festive favourites, Champagne, seasonal cocktails and a dessert station that deserves its own visit.

Little AREV guests can decorate cookies, drink hot chocolate, listen to festive stories, meet Santa and leave with a surprise.

The grown-ups can have another glass. Santa included!

Adults – €135 per person, excluding drinks

Children (3 to 11 years old) – €65
