After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.

Christmas Eve – Skipton

After breakfast we journey to Skipton, the southern gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, where we have time to explore the town’s historical treasures, such as the impressive 11^th-century Skipton Castle, the centrepiece of this pretty and bustling market town. Afterwards, we head back to our hotel to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. There is plenty of entertainment on offer with bingo, a quiz and a local choir preforming after dinner.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day is a chance to relax at our hotel and, of course, indulge in a festive lunch with all the trimmings followed by a visit from Santa. A hot and cold buffet dinner is served in the evening.

Boxing Day – York

We visit historic York, where we can wander the narrow-cobbled streets with their distinctive overhanging buildings or spend some time in the city’s beautiful Norman Minster, which boasts some of the finest stained-glass windows in the world. Alternatively, why not take a stroll around the city walls that have stood since Roman times and wrap around the city for 2.5 miles or visit the famous Betty’s tea rooms.
