Itinerary
Day 1
Hop aboard your coach at your local departure point and we’ll head south to the beautiful Devon coast. We’re due to arrive around lunchtime, giving you some free time to explore or relax before check-in. Once we’re at the hotel, you can settle into your room. Dinner is included this evening, and afterwards, it’s time to head to the bar (for a bevvy or two?!) and a brilliant night of live entertainment. Sing along, hit the dance floor – this break is all about letting your hair down and having some fun!
Day 2
A relaxing breakfast this morning as we won't be leaving for Exeter Christmas Market until around 10am. Once we're there you can wander around at your leisure. The market is beautifully set next to Exeter Cathedral, and Mondays are a bit quieter than weekends. Have a good look around, go into the cathedral, do some shopping and perhaps have a spot of lunch from one of the many festive stalls. Whatever you do, be ready to set off for the homebound journey at 5pm.
