SEASIDE DAY EXCURSION

From iconic tourist attractions to beachfront cool, Brighton is a treasure trove of things to do and places to go.

Ever since royal party animal George IV fell in love with Brighton back in the 18th Century, the city has been a magnet for visitors in search of fun, frolics and fresh sea air. With its majestic Regency squares and crescents, iconic Royal Pavilion and famous piers, today Brighton is as well-known for being a welcoming and diverse city with a passion for culture, creativity and sustainability as it is for its historic landmarks.

From the stunning heritage of the Royal Pavilion, Regency architecture and Victorian aquariums to the seaside fun of Brighton Pier and the famous pebble beach, Brighton offers something for every walk of life.

A great place to visit is the spectacular seaside palace of the Prince Regent (George IV) transformed by John Nash between 1815 and 1822 into one of the most dazzling and exotic buildings in the British Isles.   The Pavilion houses furniture and works of art including original pieces lent by HM The Queen and a magnificent display of Regency silver-gilt.   The Royal Pavilion Tearoom, with its fabulous balcony, overlooks the Pavilion gardens, has also been returned to its original Regency splendour.

If you’re looking to put a creative edge into your shopping, Brighton Lanes offer a shopper’s paradise of independent shops and boutiques.   Once the heart of the fishing town Brighton Lanes’ historic quarter is a fabulous maze of twisting alleyways, offering an extraordinary mix of antiques and jewellery shops nestling alongside specialist contemporary and designer boutique fashion.

NOTE:  Price is for Return Coach Travel.  No admissions are included in the price.

The longest running play of all time

Having been at home at St. Martins Theatre in the West End for an incredible 70 years, The Mousetrap is still keeping millions of people from every corner of the globe on the edge of their seats.

The Mouse Trap first entered the record books in 1958 when it became the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre.   The incredible show continues to attract audiences from all over the world.

In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

The characters become increasingly suspicious as the show goes on until each and everyone of their shameful pasts is revealed up until the last, when the moment the identity of the killer and motive are finally revealed.

The best-loved murder mystery of all time by the best-selling novelist of all time.

Bluewater is the most innovative and exciting shopping and leisure destination in Europe today.

The complex is split into three parts, each with its own theme and atmosphere, offering distinct retail and leisure experiences.   Located in Kent, traditionally known as the Garden of England, the overall site of 240 acres is surrounded by a 50 acre landscape of lakes, parkland and trees.   With 300 stores, over 50 bars, restaurants and cafes  offering a wide range of services.

Bluewater’s triangular design with a flagship store at each point – Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and House of Fraser – over two levels make shopping a breeze.   In between the flagship stores are three distinct shopping malls boasting stylish stores along with restaurants, cafes and bars catering to every taste.

The philosophy of Bluewater is simple: to make shopping an enjoyable, stress-free experience and to treat all of their customers as guests.

Kings Road, Regent Street and Covent Garden come to Kent.

Join us for a magical journey on the Polar Express

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back to Dereham Station.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience!

This is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

These are Premium tickets that includes Hot Chocolate, ceramic Polar Express mug, and a little bell. A lovely keepsake of a wonderful trip.

CHRISTMAS MAGIC

Join us for a magical journey on the Polar Express

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back to Dereham Station.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience!

This is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

These are Premium tickets that includes Hot Chocolate, ceramic Polar Express mug, and a little bell. A lovely keepsake of a wonderful trip.

War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical experience which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France.   Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness.

At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France.   He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land.   Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey.   Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.

Royal Ascot, a race founded by Queen Anne in 1711, takes place each June at the Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. Each day, members of the royal family attend, officially opening the event.

Royal Ascot is the Social Highlight of the year.

An unmissable experience at the heart of Royal Ascot.   This enclosure is synonymous with spectacular racing, high fashion and extraordinary millinery views from the Grandstand and Parade Ring.

The Queen Anne Enclosure is the equivalent of flying business class and is the only public enclosure at Ascot Racecourse that offers views of the renowned Parade Ring.

While it might not be the most exclusive area of the course, it epitomises everything that is Royal Ascot.   The Queen Anne Enclosure badge holders will enjoy unrivalled views of the action, beautiful woodlands and atmospheric terraces to watch the racing and Royal Procession.

Although guests will need to adhere to a dress code, rules for the Queen Anne Enclosure are less strict than the Royal Enclosure, making it the ideal base for entertaining.   

The Dress Code for The Queen  Anne Enclosure can be found on the Royal Ascot website. – https://ascot.com/storage/uploads/xnjYyRtv9Mmg4zb9DFssA9iBrmgxwfiu8C4d2o12.pdf

EVENING PERFORMANCE

Get ready to celebrate the remarkable legacy of one of the UK’s most treasured bands.

Iconic soul and pop band Simply Red today earmark their forthcoming 40th anniversary by announcing an incredibly special UK & Ireland arena tour coming to Utilita Arena Birmingham on the 4th of  October 2025.

“Simply Red are turning 40!   We’re looking forward to marking this special milestone with you all in 2025 on our UK tour” says Mick Hucknall.   “Fans can expect to hear all their favourite Simply Red tracks from 1985 to the present, and enjoy a memorable night celebrating the incredible journey that we’ve been on together over the past four decades.”

Few bands have enjoyed the success and longevity of Simply Red.   With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, 1.8 billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over 1 million YouTube subscribers,   Simply Red remain one of the UK’s most successful and well-loved bands. Their 1991 classic Stars was the best-selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe, and all 13 of Simply Red’s studio albums, including their latest release ‘Time’, have been UK Top 10’s.

Mick Hucknall formed Simply Red in 1985 working-class Manchester, and enjoyed early success with first single ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’ and the Brit Award-nominated album ‘Picture Book’ (the first of 13 nominations, and 3 Brit Award wins).   This was followed by a decade of superstardom and global hits.   Today Simply Red continue to sell out tours across the globe.   Their live show is renowned for its exceptional quality, with Mick Hucknall long-established as one of the great vocalists of contemporary music.

To celebrate this impressive 40-year milestone, Simply Red head back out on the road in 2025, telling the musical story of Simply Red so far – from ‘Picture Book’ to ‘Time’, and everything in between.
