Bridgwater Carnival And Weston Turkey & Tinsel

Itinerary

Day 1

Join your comfortable coach and head on to your base for this hotel, the lovely Royal Grosvenor Hotel in Weston super Mare. Check in and relax before your first festive dinner and evening of fabulous entertainment.

Day 2

After a leisurely breakfast and some time to enjoy Weston, join your coach for a late departure for Bridgwater, arriving there around 3pm to enjoy the celebrations and carnival fun. Rejoin your coach after all of the fun is over and journey back to your hotel for a good night's sleep.

NB - Dinner is not included this evening, so make sure you grab something to eat at the carnival!

Day 3

After a final tasty breakfast it is time to say farewell to Weston today - but your holiday isn't over yet! On our way home we stop off at the beautiful city of Bath where you will have a few hours to enjoy this iconic destination before rejoining the coach and completing your journey homewards.

Weston-super-Mare

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationWeston-super-Mare, nestled on the Somerset coast and embraced by Weston Bay’s 2 mile long sandy beach has reinvented itself from its beginnings in Victorian history. Few towns can say that their beachfront is so close to the town centre, is mostly on the level without steep walkways and can offer so much to do, whatever the weather. The town centre's independent shops, cafes and bars are nestled within a few steps. 

Well known for traditional donkey rides, the amusements and rides of the Grand Pier, ice-cream on the beach and fish & chips, there is so much more to offer as well! There’s two theatres, two cinemas, a free museum and a vast range of traditional and international cuisine – you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the amount of things to do.

Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival

This is one of the biggest carnivals of the year and an absolute must for firework lovers! The history of Bridgwater Carnival dates back to the 1605 gunpowder plot, when Guy Fawkes failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Bridgwater takes its Carnival seriously, the origins are lost in time but journalistic records refer to the event in the 1860's. The Carnival became officially recognised in 1881 and remains a firm annual favourite. The stalls, fireworks and parade are truly spectacular.

Bath

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationBuilt for pleasure and relaxation, beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in. The compact, visitor-friendly centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink, plus some of the finest independent shops in Britain. Immerse yourself in Bath’s remarkable collection of museums and galleries, while admiring Bath's stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture that is straight from a Jane Austen novel. For a special treat enjoy the grandeur of the world-famous Pump Room for afternoon tea, and a sample of the healing Bath waters taken by the city's famous residents for hundreds of years. For something simpler but just as historic try a delicious Sally Lunn Bunn served in the famous eating house or to take away, made to the same recipe since 1680!
