A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will form part of your visit to Windsor Castle. This special exhibition will feature the wedding outfits worn by the couple at their wedding in May 2018. The Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress was created by the British designer Clare Waight Keller, Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy.  The Duchess chose Ms Waight Keller for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, and for the impeccable tailoring of her creations. The Duchess and Ms Waight Keller worked closely together on the design. The Duke of Sussex’s wedding outfit was the frockcoat uniform of the Household Cavalry (the ‘Blues and Royals’), made by tailors at Dege & Skinner on Savile Row.  As the uniform specially commissioned for the occasion is required for use by His Royal Highness, an identical uniform made for The Duke by Dege & Skinner a few years earlier will be displayed. The Christmas display at Windsor Castle will mark the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the Castle following the fire of November 1992. The State Apartments will be decked with glistening gold decorations inspired by the highly skilled gilding work that was undertaken to restore the Castle’s interiors. The highlight of the display will be the magnificent 20-foot-high Nordmann Fir Christmas tree in St George’s Hall, taken from Windsor Great Park and covered in gold decorations. In the State Dining Room, the table will be laid with silver-gilt pieces from the spectacular Grand Service, commissioned by George IV and still used today by The Queen and her guests at State Banquets

The Christmas Cruise is great fun. While many of you will have been on the river during the day it is a truly different experience after dark. We start our tour at Historic Greenwich with time to visit the shops, museum and market before boarding our Thames cruiser. Inside The London Rose it‘s warm and cosy with everyone guaranteed a choice of seats with terrific views in one of two saloons and the prospect of a hot chocolate or a Whisky Mac from the fully licensed bar. There’s plenty of room to move around and a huge open deck. Your folk will really enjoy the quality and content of the commentary, a mix of historical information and Cockney Waterman‘s humour that brings groups back year after year. We set off at 4-00pm from historic Greenwich and are soon passing The London Docklands a breath taking sight at night, a blaze of colour and light, our own mini Manhattan. It is a wonderful thing to sail beneath a flood lit Tower Bridge, quite stunning! Now we are in the Upper Pool of the Port of London passing the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and approaching London Bridge. The City of London owes its very existence to this majestic river, you‘ll see The Monument and St. Paul‘s Cathedral and then on to Bankside with Shakespeare‘s Globe Theatre and the massive Tate Modern art gallery housed in the old power station. It just gets better and better as we approach the West End and the warm golden tones of the Palace of Westminster where on many evenings in the run up to Christmas you‘ll see our hard working MPs ‘networking‘ in the Commons bar on the riverside. After 60 minutes cruising we step ashore on Westminster Pier. Our Blue Badge guide will be waiting for you on the pier to walk back to our coach just a few minutes away and begin an entertaining guided tour of the Christmas Lights & Sights in the West End and the City of London. Finishing with three course Carvery Dinner at the President Hotel.

More a Christmas experience than anything else, a trip to Lincoln is guaranteed to melt the heart of even the most avowed anti-shopper! Imagine a cobbled square overlooked by a floodlit 12th Century Cathedral, a Norman Castle and black and white timber-framed buildings. Brightly coloured stalls decorated with lights, selling every conceivable Christmas gift and the traders in Victorian costume. The smell of chestnuts roasting, mince pies and hot mulled wine. The delicate sound of hand bell ringers or local choirs singing carols by lantern light, street theatre and beautiful services in the majestic Cathedral. There are almost 350 stalls, set in the grounds of the Castle and the Lawn, around the Cathedral, in Castle Hill and along Westgate

It‘s the most wonderful time of the year as the tree-tops glisten and the Great Lake and waterfalls of Blenheim Palace shimmer and sparkle. There‘s something for everyone as the one mile glittering path winds its way through the world-famous Parkland in a magical after dark experience. New for 2018, the Blenheim winter trail is brighter than ever before with over a million pea-lights, lasers and projections. Wander beneath unique tree canopies drenched in seasonal colour and dripping with silvery shards of light, frosty snowflakes, stars and baubles. From the delicate and twinkling to the grand and spectacular, follow the lakeside path past the Gingerbread House and under hundreds of larger-than-life glowing flowers suspended in the branches. Sparkling hedgerows and tunnels lead you to a brand new Field of Light and on towards a garden filled with jewel-like, colour-changing globes. There are hidden surprises too – watch out for Bubble Path before you pause at the flickering scented flames of the Fire Garden for a moment of tranquil reflection. As you walk through a Canopy of Light festooned with over 100,000 pea-lights, the mesmerising voices of Singing Trees can be heard in the distance. Don‘t forget to look out for Father Christmas and his elves along the way before you pause at the Water Terrace Finale to enjoy the jumping water jets, projections and criss-crossing beams of light as they dance in time to much-loved Christmas classics. Why not complete your stroll under the stars with spiced cider, mulled wine or hot chocolate whilst the aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air. Gather to toast your own marshmallows at one of the fire pits, ride the vintage Carousel and enjoy other traditional fare before browsing the well stocked gift shop (Blenheim Palace will not be open on this date)

Once claiming to be ‘everything London’, tourists still flock there to buy teddy bears bearing the Harrods insignia or simply to wonder at the over-the-top glitz and super-abundance of the Egyptian Hall and the like. The luxuries of its Food Hall are legendary, and in more recent years its Urban Retreat hairdressing and beauty salon has gained a reputation for its ultra-indulgent (and suitably expensive). This trip offers a last chance Christmas shop and a ride through London’s Christmas Lights
