Highclere Castle – Downton Abbey

Location: Newbury

Date: Sunday 31st March 2024

Price: £53 Per Person (Price includes Coach Travel and Admission)

ATTRACTIONS AND PLACES OF INTEREST

The first written records of the estate date back to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester.   Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park.   Later on, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House in 1679 when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon.

In 1842, Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament, transformed Highclere House into the present day Highclere Castle.

During the First World War, Highclere Castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers run by the 5th Countess of Carnarvon.   Throughout the Second World War, Highclere Castle was home to  children evacuated from London.

There are between 250 and 300 rooms in the Castle and during your tour you will explore the main state rooms so familiar from “Downton Abbey”.  Fans of the show can relive every scene:   glide down the grand oak staircase like Lady Mary did on her wedding day, sit at Jackdaws Castle where Lady Edith so often found herself and take in the state dining room where many of the Dowager Countess’ wonderfully acerbic lines were delivered by Dame Maggie Smith.

You will see some of the bedrooms after which you will follow the stairs down to the cellars and old staff quarters where you will find the Egyptian Exhibition, celebrating the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.

There are tea rooms and cafes in the grounds or you are welcome to bring a picnic if you wish.  You may also wish to visit the gift shop and there are plant stalls located at the car park and by the tea rooms.

Your ticket will include Coach Travel, Admission to the house, the Egyptian Exhibition and the gardens.

Day Trip to Ely

Location: Ely

Date: Saturday 6th April 2024

Price: Adult £21 - Children (Under 15 Yrs) £16

ATTRACTIONS & PLACES OF INTEREST

Nestling under the big skies of the Fen countryside, in the shadow of its magnificent cathedral, Ely offers a wealth of attractions. As the second smallest city in England, it is compact enough to explore on foot, but large enough to fill a full day and more.

The first port of call for any visitor to Ely today will almost certainly be the Cathedral. This imposing structure towers across the fens for miles around. Dominating the skyline, it is one of England’s most beautiful and largest Cathedrals. Known locally as the ‘Ship of the Fens’ it is famous for its unique Octagon tower, which when lit can be seen for tens of miles.  The Cathedral is also home to the only national museum dedicated to Stained Glass. If it’s history you’re interested in then Ely Museum housed in the city’s old gaol, is an excellent place to start.

Ely’s most famous historical resident of Ely was of course Oliver Cromwell.  The Cromwell family lived in Ely for some 10 years and today you can visit their former house which has been recreated to demonstrate what 17th Century domestic life would have been like along with an exhibition on the civil war.  It also doubles as the Tourist Information Centre.

Ely has a beautiful waterside area, which is an attraction within itself, where you can explore the many cafes and restaurants or visit the art galleries.  Alternatively, simply take time out to relax and watch the river boats pass by.

The market has been at the heart of Ely community life for over 800 years.

The friendly weekly market is a fabulous shopping destination and an important community hub.    There’s everything you’d expect from a traditional market, plus a few surprises.   Each week you’ll find locally grown fruit and vegetables, flowers, household goods, artisan bread, cakes and more.

In the afternoon we continue along the coast.   Thorpeness is an eccentric puzzle of mock Tudor houses and the quirky “House in the Clouds”.

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.

Southwold Seaside Excursion

Location: Southwold

Date: Sunday 26th May 2024

Price: Adult £20 - Children (Under 15 Yrs) £15 (Price is for Coach Travel)

SEASIDE DAY EXCURSION

Southwold is a charming North Suffolk Seaside Resort.

Southwold lies in the centre of an area of great natural beauty – a paradise for the walker, the naturalist and the birdwatcher. Situated on a hill that gently rises from the Blyth Valley, the town is virtually an island, being surrounded by the River Blyth to the south and Buss Creek to the north.  There is just one road in and out of Soutnwold

The quiet, understated elegance of its Georgian houses, its 100 foot Lighthouse towering above the Sole Bay Inn,  its pier (the first to be built in Britain since the 1950s) and cliff top promenade above the sandy beach, and of course its brightly coloured beach huts, all work together to create this atmosphere of a bygone age.

This is not a place for amusement arcades or Kiss me Quick Hats.

Every day you can see the Adnams Brewery Dray Horses plodding around the streets making deiveries and a visit to the Adnams shop will ensure that you can take something special home.

Spend some time visiting St Emunds Church which was completed in 1640.  Once inside, and immediately in front of you, is the wooden figure of Southwold Jack, who dates from the 15th Century and who for many years has struck his bell at the start of each service as well as welcoming brides on their wedding day.  When you next look at the Adnams Logo (a medieval foot soldier, holding a sword and ready to strike his bell), you will see Southwold Jack.

The Book Of Mormon

Date: Monday 3rd June 2024

Price: £74 Per Person (Price includes Coach Travel and Show Ticket)

THEATRE & SHOWS

EVENING PERFORMANCE

The Book Of Mormon is a nine-time Tony-winning, multi-Olivier awarded and Grammy-getting musical. Playing at London’s Prince of Wales Theatre, it continues to have West End audiences knocking on its door. Have you joined the mission?

Written by the animated sitcom’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Avenue Q co-creator Robert LopezThe Book Of Mormon is a satirical musical that takes shots at everything from organised religion to consumerism, the state of the economy and the musical theatre genre itself.

The show tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries who travel to Africa to preach the Mormon religion, only to discover they have a lot more to learn about the real world than they have to teach about Mormonism.

When the pair of opposites land in a poverty-stricken, crime-riddled and disease-filled village in Uganda, the enigmatic over-achiever and prideful Mormon Elder Price learns that charms and good looks don’t get you far. As for his awkward and enthusiastic partner Elder Cunningham; well, he’s just happy to have a friend and be included in something. Thousands of miles from Salt Lake City and facing the biggest of reality checks, Elder Price’s faith is shaken. He must convince himself of the scriptures he’s preaching before he can convert any of the locals who are more concerned with war, famine, and AIDS than Mormonism. However, armed with his own interpretation of the Book and an innocent disposition, Elder Cunningham thrives… sort of.

Highgate & Hampstead with Fish & Chip Lunch

Location: London

Price: £59 Per Person (Price includes Coach Travel, Blue Badge Tour and Fish and Chip Lunch)

IN-HOUSE GUIDED TOUR

When London’s churchyards filled up, just as a young Queen Victoria came to the throne, a scheme was launched to build The Magnificent Seven – huge, modern cemeteries in a ring around the City.

As soon as it opened in 1839 Highgate Cemetery in the Northern hills became THE place to be buried if you were rich or famous.    Highgate would become one of the greatest cemeteries in the world full of eccentric funerary architecture.   In the heart of the grounds the Egyptian Avenue leads to the Circle of Lebanon created by earth being excavated around an ancient Cedar of Lebanon.

The cemetery fell into ruin for many years until in the 1970s The Friend of Highgate Cemetery was formed to buy the freehold – today the tours are run to raise money to look after it.

Nature has gradually taken over and this remarkable site is now also an important wild-life reserve.

Come and meet London’s famous dead in this Victorian Valhalla.

At 12 Noon, we Arrive in Hampstead for Fish & Chips lunch with dessert (cheesecake) and tea/coffee.  The  restaurant is on the ground floor and can cater for gluten free and other dietary requirements when pre-ordered.   At 2.00pm we commence our Guided tour of the West Cemetery (the extraordinary side with all the gothic tombs), which lasts around 70 minutes.   Paths are steep and sometimes muddy and there are two flights of stairs so please be aware of this and wear appropriate footwear.   Following there is time for a self-guided visit to the East Cemetery (where Karl Marx is).   This is on a gentler slope with tarmac paths and is more easily accessible.

MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Discover the untold story of the Witches of Oz

Already the 9th longest-running West End musical of all time, Wicked has been seen by over 10 million people in London alone and played almost 6000 performances.

The classic musical is the winner of over 100 major international awards.

When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West, we only ever heard one side of the story.

Wicked is based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire – Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

It takes a look at the Land of Oz with new eyes and creates a parallel journey to the familiar The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

At the core of Wicked is friendship, in this case a very unlikely one.

The blonde and very popular Glinda and a misunderstood green girl, Elphaba.   They first meet at school and after a bumpy start, they form a strong friendship.   Their journey takes a turn during a visit to Oz to meet the Wizard where during that encounter their lives take very different paths.   Glinda is lured into a powerful and public role while Elphaba remains determined to be true to herself and the people in her life, whatever the cost – both paths seeing them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and The Wicked Witch of the West.

Royal Ascot – Ladies Day

Location: Windsor

Date: Thursday 20th June 2024

Price: £59 Per Person (Price includes Coach Travel and Admission to The Windsor Enclosure)

ATTRACTIONS AND PLACES OF INTEREST

Vibrant, celebratory and steeped in tradition, the third day of Royal Ascot, colloquially known as Ladies Day, is a day to see and be seen.  It is a glorious occasion, when high fashion and millinery masterpieces take centre stage alongside Flat Racing’s most elite stayers locking horns in the historic Gold Cup.

Royal Ascot is a  major fashion event in its own right, where sartorial trends for the summer season are set, Thursday sees the most spectacular millinery creations on display, and boasts an unprecedented sense of style to match the prestige on the track.

The day begins with the Royal Procession –

The arrival of The  Royal party in horse-drawn landaus, which parade along the track in front of the race- goers.   The Royal Procession dates back to the 1820s and the reign of King George IV, at which time it was referred to as the Royal Parade or Royal Drive.

The Royal Enclosure is at the heart of Royal Ascot.   Entry to the enclosure is by sponsorship from an existing member who has attended in four previous years.   Within this area, gentlemen are required to wear morning dress with a top hat and ladies must wear formal day wear.   The origin of this tradition can be traced back to around the time of the running of Ascot’s most famous race,

Royal Ascot’s Windsor Enclosure is perfect for those wishing to be close to the heart of the action.   Racegoers can enjoy being the first to view the Royal Procession as the carriages journey up the famous Straight Mile and get close to the rails for each race to experience the thrill of horses thundering past.  Their is no formal dress code within the Windsor Enclosure.

The Gold Cup, which was inaugurated in 1807 and remains to this day the most important long distance horse race on the flat anywhere in the world.

This trip includes your tickets for the Windsor Enclosure.

We will meet our Blue Badge Tour Guide just off the M20 at Ashford at 10.30am for morning refreshments (Not included) before driving out onto the remote Romney Marshes.

Marshmen established a wild reputation with smuggling and felonious deeds rife in a world where men drank beer a full century before the rest of the country and evacuated their sheep before their women during the war!   The bleak, timeless character of the marsh made it popular with artists and writers including Noël Coward and Ian Fleming who found inspiration from marsh place names like Moneypenny  Farm. We will stop and visit one of the mediaeval churches that pepper the marsh.

Dotted across the peculiar landscape of Dungeness – the UK’s only desert there are old railway carriages first dragged across the shingle nearly one hundred years ago.   Today they change hands for an awful lot of money.

We will stop here for fresh fish & chips and a cuppa at the legendary Pilot Inn.

After lunch we take a pleasant drive via Camber Sands to Rye.   There will be time to pick a spot for afternoon tea (Not included) before heading home at 4.45pm.

Since the 19th century, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace has been home to the royal collection of coaches and carriages.

It has played an important role in many memorable State and ceremonial occasions, such as His Majesty’s Coronation, Royal Weddings and the Trooping of the Colour.

Today the Royal Mews provides a unique opportunity for visitors to see the work of the Royal Household department that provides road transport for The King and members of the Royal Family by both horse-drawn carriage and car.

The Mews is also home to the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, these are the horses that pull the royal carriages, each named personally by His Majesty.

Undoubtedly the most dazzling vehicle at the Royal Mews is the Gold State Coach, which was built for George III in 1762.   As its name suggests, the surface of the coach is covered almost entirely in real gold leaf.   It weighs almost four tonnes, requires eight horses to pull it, and has carried every monarch to their coronation since 1821.

The State Rooms at the heart of Buckingham Palace provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining and is where The King welcomes guests from all walks of life.

The rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Vermeer and Canaletto, sculpture by Canova, exquisite Sèvres porcelain and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.   Highlights include the Throne Room, Ballroom, White Drawing Room, Picture Gallery and others.

Brunel’s Bristol Tour (Four Nights)

Location: Bristol

Date: Thursday 25th to Monday 29th July 2024

Price: £449.00 Per Person (Sharing Twin/Double Room) - Single Room Supplement £104.00

FOUR NIGHT HALF BOARD SHORT BREAK

For this trip, we will be staying at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Bristol.   The hotel is superbly located for both business and leisure travellers in the heart of the city centre.  This trip offers coach travel, four nights half board Hotel and includes excursions to SS Great Britain, the Blue Glass Factory, a City Dock cruise with cream tea and a four hour Blue Badge guided tour which will include the Clifton Suspension Bridge and visitor centre.

Brunel’s SS Great Britain is one of the most important historic ships in the world.   When she was launched in 1843, she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’.   No one had ever designed so vast a ship, nor had the vision to build it of iron.   Brunel fitted her with a 1000 hp steam engine, the most powerful yet used at sea.   Perhaps most daring of all, Brunel rejected using conventional paddle wheels to drive his ship.   Instead, he gave the SS Great Britain a screw propeller.   This was the newest invention in maritime technology.   By seeing how to combine these key innovations, Brunel created a ship that changed history.

On 7 April 1970, a team of expert divers managed to re-float the SS Great Britain, after spending days plugging holes in the ship’s hull and pumping out water.   It took two more weeks, working in terrible weather conditions, for the salvage team to secure the ship on to a huge floating pontoon.   Finally, on the 24th of April, the ship began her 87 day voyage back to Bristol across the Atlantic Ocean.   The 8,000-mile journey to Avonmouth was the longest ever under tow, and the re-floating and return to Bristol beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge was watched by crowds of spectators and millions on television.

The SS Great Britain Trust is a dedicated education charity with a vision to protect the legacy of Brunel and the SS Great Britain and inspire engineers and entrepreneurs of the future.   Alive with hundreds of sights, sounds and even smells inspired by real passenger accounts, the ship and its two adjacent museums allow you to discover Brunel’s Victorian world and experience life on board.

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.

Simply Red

Date: Saturday 4th October 2025

Price: £100 Per Person (Price includes Coach Travel and Concert Ticket)

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.
