Day 1
Durham Christmas Festival
From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel to the picturesque city of Durham and its traditional Christmas Festival. Browse the wide range of Christmas gifts, sample some festive food and drink and take in the wonderful seasonal atmosphere. There’s also time to enjoy dinner at leisure in Durham before we continue to the hotel for our overnight stay.
Day 2
Beamish Living Museum
We head to the ever-popular living museum of Beamish, where we experience the magic of Christmas from different points in British history. Discover the seasonal sights, smells and tastes of Christmas past as we experience Victorian festive traditions or browse homemade gifts from the Home Front. Take a step back in time as we meet costumed characters at the 1940s farm and early 20th-century Pit Village, and enjoy catching a tram through The Town; a typical market town from the years leading up to the First World War. We rejoin the coach in the afternoon for our journey home.
