Household Traditions
Reschio’s household traditions are an important part of life on the estate, gatherings hosted by the Bolza family that bring together friends, guests and neighbours. From the summer open-air theatre and the lively inter-house tennis tournament to the enchanting Christmas celebrations and the wild New Year Jazz festival, these events are part of Reschio’s annual rhythm. Guests are welcome to join, not as spectators, but as part of these traditions
From 30th December to 1st January
New Year Jazz Festival
The Bolza family’s iconic New Year Jazz Festival bursts into life with three days of 1920s-inspired revelry. Havana-style casinos, swinging concerts, dazzling dancing and flowing champagne mark the most anticipated days of the calendar
From 23rd December to 25th January
Christmas at Reschio
Christmas is steeped in atmosphere and tradition. A candlelit procession winds through the estate, woodland picnics unfold under crisp winter skies, and festive fires burn bright. Mass is sung in the chapel, and on Christmas Day, a gospel choir lifts the spirits before a feast is shared
28th March
Spring Affair
The Spring Affair is a joyful day-long celebration of craft and renewal. Artisans gather to share their age-old skills, from basketry to bookbinding, falconry to weaving, bringing the estate to life with tradition, talent and springtime spirit
From 9th August to 15th August
Inter-House Tennis Tournament
The Inter-House Tennis Tournament is a beloved tradition, where the estate’s houses (hotel guests may also play) face off in a week of friendly, but fiercely contested, matches. Laughter, rivalry and surprise twist through the days, with evenings spent drinking cocktails, dancing and playing games
From 25th July to 28th July
The Open-Air Theatre
Each summer, the courtyard of the Bolza family home becomes a stage for Reschio’s most spirited tradition. In just two weeks, the Reschio Players, family and friends, write, build, compose and rehearse a wildly original performance. It runs for three magical nights, all in support of young musical talent
1st August through October
Reschio Music Scholarship auditions
Each year, Reschio awards a music scholarship to a talented young musician, supporting their growth and education. Music is at the heart of Reschio with live performances echoing through the estate daily
