Day excursions

Travel down to West Sussex for not one but two elegant and traditional seaside resorts. Firstly to Bognor Regis a quintessential English seaside resort. Then onto Littlehampton, with two award-winning beaches, the beautiful River Arun and a large seafront green making it a popular destination for all.

Our first port of call is the Sussex Tropical Butterfly Gardens, where you get the chance to stretch your legs within a tropical flight area. An environment which is carefully controlled and monitored to ensure perfect conditions for the live butterflies. Following our visit, we continue our journey to the wonderful High Beeches Water & Woodland Gardens. Please note that this trip is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues as the woodland garden and paths are grass and uneven in places. The terrain is also quite undulating.

A summer special on the Tereza Joanne with Pete George bringing the sounds of the Islands in the Sun. Take a tropical journey from the Bossa Nova tempo of The Girl From Ipanema to the Calypso hits of Harry Belafonte, so Shake Shake Señora! A super two course lunch is included.

Step into the cherished home of Sir Winston Churchill, one of Britain’s most iconic leaders. Chartwell was Churchill’s family residence for over 40 years, and offers a glimpse into his personal life above and beyond politics. The house is presented as it was in the 1930’s, when Churchill spent most of his time here with his beloved wife Clementine and their four children. Each room tells a story, filled with treasures and memories that reflect his legacy.

With stunning views of the English Channel to enjoy while strolling the Victorian promenade, the historic town of Hythe has plenty to offer. Enjoy a spot of shopping in the unique, independent shops that line the high street, or relax and watch the world go by in the plethora of cafés, restaurants and bars.
