Day excursions

Step back in time and start the festive season in Dickensian style at the ever popular Rochester Dickensian Christmas festival where you can experience street entertainment, readings, song and dance, all framed by Rochester's fairytale cathedral and castle.

Time in the lovely Kent town of Faversham to browse the delights of the local sights. We then make the trip to the hamlet of Plucks Gutter where a welcoming three course Christmas lunch with entertainment awaits at this renowned public house, beautifully located on the Great Stour and its tributary the Little Stour.

A favourite every year; our London lights tour includes commentary from a Blue Badge Guide as we drive around the city and also includes a traditional early tea of fish & chips.

Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market is recognised as one of the best in Europe. Renowned for its bustling atmosphere and stunning location, the wooden chalets are inspired by traditional German Christmas Markets.

The ambience of the venue, the show and all the cast exudes class with stunning costumes, lighting, decorations and awesome songs. We have a lovely two course Christmas lunch at Penthorpe Nature Reserve, before arriving at Thursford for the afternoon show.
