Itinerary
Scarborough & York Christmas Market Weekend
Immerse yourself in a magical Christmas scene where the streets are adorned with lights. The air is filled with the smell of roasting chestnuts and people are wrapped up in scarves and colourful bobble hats as the first snowflakes gently land on their noses. With our base in historic Scarborough, we visit Whitby and York to enjoy the season with all the shopping, eating and experiences that come alive at this special time of year.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival
From a morning pickup in your local area we travel to our hotel and check-in.
Day 2 - Whitby
Our half-day excursion takes us to the charming coastal town of Whitby, famed for its connection to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Wander around the quirky streets and the picturesque harbour before tackling the climb up to the atmospheric ruined abbey perched on the cliffs above the town.
Day 3 - York
We enjoy a day at leisure in wonderful York. Explore the cobbled streets and view the half-timbered buildings adorned with festive decorations. Around a corner, a warming glow emerges through a stained-glass window and with every step toward King's Square, the merry sounds of a Christmas Market become louder! Don't miss the famous Betty's English Tea Rooms too, plus the cobbled streets of The Shambles (Europe's oldest shopping street) and Stonegate, with its many oak-beamed shops, pubs and cafés.
Day 4 - Return Home
After checking out of our hotel we begin our journey home.
