Christmas

Escape the winter chill and join us as we get cozy and celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

We believe Christmas calls for great company, delicious food, and even better wine.

We've put together a full calendar of festive happenings throughout December, ensuring there's something special for everyone.

Take a look below at how you can celebrate with us this season.

Our Christmas opening hours are below.

The Cork Dork Rayleigh Christmas Sing-a-long

6th December 5-7pm
We are thrilled to introduce our Cork Dork Christmas Sing-a-long to Rayleigh!
Local music legends Cameron Fellows and Tobias Smith will be raising the roof with all the Christmas hits.
An immersive experience, where you very much sing-a-long instead of sitting back and watching. Expect festive community vibes.
It’s one of our proudest Cork Dork traditions and we’re so excited to bring it to Rayleigh.
The Cork Dork Chalkwell Annual Christmas Party

7th December 12-9pm
A tradition we’re so proud of and to enjoy with the community year after year, to celebrate with our wonderful customers.

Guaranteed snow, mince pies, mulled wine and Christmas cheer!
