A Winter Wonderland: Top UK Destinations for Festive Celebrations
20 September 2022
Have you started thinking about this year’s festive getaway? Are you in need of some pre-Christmas event inspiration? Do you fancy walking in a winter wonderland? You do?! Then it looks like you’re in the right place!
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite destinations for a yuletide breakaway, from Scotland to Cornwall and everywhere in between! Check out some of our top picks.
Scotland
Scotland wears Christmas like a cosy knitted jumper, its ancient Edinburgh and Glaswegian streets snuggled up beneath a warm glow of starburst festive lights and decorations. Our five-day Scottish Christmas getaway is a wonderful way to see these historic cities and dishes up plenty of treats from mince pies upon arrival, a traditional Christmas lunch, nightly entertainment and a free pantomime ticket. Can you think of a better celebration? Oh no you can’t!
Thursford
If you’ve heard of Christmas then you’ve heard of Thursford; you just can’t have one without the other! Like a real-life winter wonderland (but on a candy-cane induced sugar-rush), we’re talking round-the-clock singing, music, comedy and dancing from an incredible cast of over 100 performers. With dazzling costumes, musical extravaganzas and even a charming shopping village, this is a Christmas spectacular like no other. This year we have two, four and five-day breaks for you to choose between.
The New Forest
Some people love Christmas so much that they want to celebrate it twice each year, and that’s why our Turkey & Tinsel holidays are so popular! They’re essentially like a ‘rehearsal’ for the big day itself, where we whisk you away on selected dates in November and early December to enjoy a ‘Christmas’ dinner, evening entertainment and often a special drinks offer. One of our most popular T&T breaks is to Bournemouth and the New Forest, and is it any wonder why? Packed with pretty villages, coastal towns and smuggler ports, this is an atmospheric escape that wows in winter!
Cornwall
There is nowhere quite like Cornwall during wintertime. Everything has shifted down a gear and you’ll feel like you have the tangle of seablown streets all to yourself! Our Newquay & the Cream of Cornwall – Turkey & Tinsel break is the perfect way to hibernate. Just imagine gazing down at the waves crashing on the headland from inside the hotel, steaming hot chocolate in hand, or wrap up warm for a bracing stroll and discover Penzance, St Ives and Falmouth without the usual summer crowds. Bliss!
Brighton
Fancy mixing things up this year with a Christmas seaside staycation? The coast is clear for our five-day Christmas in Brighton getaway! Enjoy a lovely Christmas lunch, entertainment, a pantomime ticket and an excursion to Eastbourne, plus plenty of free time for you to explore Brighton, all dressed up in its Christmas finest. Just think, crisp clean air and misty morning walks along shorelines glittering beneath the winter sun, before hunkering down for a hot drink in The Lanes.
