Day Excursions

One of our most popular days out to the coast, Eastbourne has plenty to see and do whatever the weather, with a lovely promenade, fine shopping and lots of cafes and bars.

Brighten up those winter days with a visit to The Straw Bear Festival, in Whittlesea. Musicians play all day as a decorated plough is pulled by 21st century plough boys and is now an established part of the procession. A great fun filled winters day out.

An exceptional after-dark trail with new lights for 2024 and Neverland® in the Palace where the State rooms are decorated as never before. Christmas at Blenheim Palace is a place where new memories are made as a multitude of glowing lights and seasonal sounds fill the air with festive fun on the illuminated trail.

Experience beautifully decorated rooms, welcoming log fires and twinkling Christmas trees in the beautiful castle, and enjoy a delicious 2 course Christmas Lunch in the restaurant before exploring the grounds of this wonderful setting. As dusk falls, watch in awe as the gardens and castle come to life with magical lighting.

The picturesque streets of Bath are transformed into a magical, festive experience. So meander through the streets of Bath which are adorned with over 150 twinkling chalets and discover some of the best crafters that the South West has to offer for stylish homeware, handmade jewellery, personalised presents and more.
