Itinerary

Day 1

After joining the coach, we head to Fleetwood, a lovely seaside town nestled on the tip of the Fylde Coast. Here, we can take a stroll along the stunning Victorian Promenade, have a look at the beautiful harbour, or if it’s market day, pick up a bargain or two from the 150 indoor and outdoor stalls!

Day 2 – Southport & Illuminations Drive

Today we travel to Southport, a traditional seaside resort, boasting 22 miles of sandy beaches and the country’s oldest iron pier. If you like a coach holiday with plenty of shopping, Southport’s tree- lined boulevards and the stunning architecture of Lord’s Street are a real treat. Later, we enjoy an illuminations drive along the Golden Mile to witness the famous light show and millions of twinkling lights, floats and the occasional festively lit-up tram!

Day 3

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and enjoy some free time in Ormskirk Market, one of the oldest and most traditional outdoor street markets in the UK, dating back to 1286 when King Edward I granted a Royal Charter. Ever since then, the pedestrianised streets around the famous Clock Tower have hosted this popular market which offers around 100 different stalls. Afterwards, we re-board the coach for our journey home.
