As 2025 drew gracefully to a close, all at Stephensons Estate Agents LLP gathered to celebrate the season, and the successes of the year, at the wonderfully atmospheric Mazarno, nestled in the heart of historic York.

All 41 members of our team came together for this special Christmas lunch and awards giving, filling the restaurant with laughter, conversation, and a palpable sense of togetherness. From the moment we arrived, Mazarno provided the perfect backdrop: elegant surroundings, exceptional food, and a warm, welcoming ambience that set the tone for a truly memorable afternoon.

The lunch itself was a celebration in every sense, beautifully prepared food, festive flavours, and the simple joy of slowing down to enjoy good company. It was a rare and valued opportunity for colleagues and partners from across the business to relax, connect, and reflect on what has been an incredible journey together through 2025.

More than just a seasonal gathering, the afternoon served as a heartfelt celebration of our shared achievements and collective spirit. As we raised a glass, we did so not only to Christmas, but to a wonderful 2025 and with ambition, growth, and continued success multiple team and individual awards were presented.

Here’s to a very successful 2026!
