Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival
After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.
Day 2 - Brighton
We make our way to bustling Brighton, a bustling seaside resort known for its laidback attitude, iconic tourist attractions such as the Royal Pavilion and the Palace Pier. Enjoy a stroll along the famous promenade or head to the 'Lanes' area, crammed with quirky boutiques, before treating yourself in a local café.
Later we enjoy a traditional 'Christmas' dinner with all the trimmings back at the hotel.
Day 3 - Optional excursion to Chichester & Arundel (£14pp)
Our optional full-day excursion allows us to visit two towns in the heart of West Sussex. First up is Chichester, a Roman cathedral city where you can see first-hand evidence of a Roman settlement, from the Roman Baths and the city wall to an old Roman road which links Chichester to London! Next, we head to the picturesque town of Arundel. Nestled around a fairytale castle, the streets are chock-full of cosy tearooms and curious antique shops. Most of the town dates back to Victorian times, while the castle has been home to the Dukes of Norfolk for centuries.
Day 4 - Alfriston & Lewes
We visit Alfriston, a charming village located at the foot of the stunning South Downs. In this idyllic setting, we can expect spectacular views as well as a wide range of galleries, cafés, and shops to explore. We then reboard the coach and head to another beautiful village, Lewes. Home to Lewes Castle, a working brewery and beautiful medieval architecture, we can enjoy the relaxed ambience and maybe even see a horse-drawn cart delivering beer passing by!
