A trip to the ever popular Polhill garden centre and a chance to buy gifts or treat yourself to some goodies for the home and garden. Early booking recommended.

Christmas isn’t complete without carols at the Royal Albert Hall. Join us for a magical performance featuring a mix of traditional and modern festive favourites. With an orchestra, choir, presenter, soloist, and plenty of sing-along moments, it’s the ultimate way to celebrate the season. After the service we head into London’s West End with time spent at Covent Garden and the surrounding area.

Swindon has a history that is intertwined with the Great Western Railway and that becomes evident as soon as you step through the main entrance to this delightful undercover shopping mall. With a host of High Street stores, designer outlets and plenty of places for refreshments, the McArthur Glen Outlet Centre is a shopaholics delight.

Travel to the Inn on the Lake and spend an afternoon immersed in the Seventies with one of the UK’s best Abba tribute bands, Abba Chique. An uplifting afternoon as they work through the incredible ABBA back catalogue - hit after hit. Before the show starts, we have our first course festive lunch, with a second course served in the interval. Great value.
