After a high-pressure week of meetings, management and making connections, the best way to unwind is to plug in your headphones and allow a superb selection of tunes to take your brain far away from the world of work. Enter the Walpole Weekend Wind-Down: a monthly playlist of tracks created by one of our members or partners that will help you transition into an end-of-week headspace.
This December, our playlist has been created by Emily Shields, Head of Sales & Marketing for Cromlix. The country house hotel invites guests to embrace the changing seasons with its hibernation package. Unwind with an overnight stay in one of their sumptuous rooms, settling in to a state of relaxation. Take a stroll in the hotel's 34 acres of woodland and gardens before curling up in front of its roaring log fire to enjoy a delicious cream tea.
"Sometimes we just need a break from the traditional festive soundtrack of Mariah & Bublé. This compilation offers a gentler way to embrace the season when you crave winter warmth but without the jingle bells," says Emily. "We have curated a playlist that creates an immersive journey through atmospheric vocals and acoustic charm, balancing contemporary artists with reimagined classics. Subtly acknowledging the time of year without overwhelming the mood, our playlist will accompany you throughout the festive period – from dinner parties to cosy evenings spent besides the fire."
