Festive Fun in Lincolnshire

Day 1 - Relax and enjoy the scenery on the way to Lincolnshire with a comfort stop - time permitting, in lovely Stamford, widely regarded as one of the finest stone towns in England. The pretty facades of the town are favourites with film and television producers. Stamford was used as Meryton in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film and has also appeared in Middlemarch. Continue to your hotel for your 3-night stay with DBB

Days 2 - 3 At leisure with two included excursions

Burghley Christmas Fair 
Enjoy a truly magical festive shopping experience at the annual Burghley Christmas Fair. The beautiful courtyards and grounds of Burghley House (no access to the house) will be filled with festive chalets, pagodas and marquees bedecked in sparkling Christmas decorations. Burghley is the region’s largest and most magical Christmas Fair with stalls offering a wide range of artisan and unique gifts. Spend the day finding the perfect presents for loved ones and pick up some stocking fillers, handmade decorations, and beautiful homewares. There are plenty of delicious festive treats on offer from the very best food and drink producers - from traditional mulled wine and indulgent hot chocolate to warming raclette and tempting sweet and savoury crêpes. A wonderful festive day out with lights twinkling and music filling the air.
