Turkey and Tinsel Holiday Highlights
Festive Trips to Truro
- Falmouth
- Penzance & Land's End
- Traditional Christmas Dinner
- New Years Celebrations

Turkey and tinsel holidays in St Ives offer lots of festive fun and fayre with day excursions included to Truro, Falmouth and Penzance, and Land's End. The Turkey and Tinsel break stays in St Ives Bay in St Ives overlooking the golden sands of Porthminster Beach and 500m into the town. St Ives is a proverbial honey pot for tourists, with its idyllic harbour, pretty fishermen's cottages, and unique shops and cafés, there’s a picture-postcard around every corner! Add to the mix its wonderful Porthsmear Beach, and its perfect position for touring the rest of Cornwall, and you can see why it is such a favourite destination.

Capture the spirit of the festive season on a Turkey & Tinsel break, bringing the magic of Christmas, the celebrations of New Year and the friendship of like-minded travellers. Add our popular Tour Managers and drivers, fabulous excursions, and lots of festive fun, and our Turkey & Tinsel breaks make the ideal warm-up to Christmas.

Itinerary

Excursions
Full Day: Truro
We head to Truro, Cornwall's county town, sole city, that offers everything from retail therapy, cultural and architectural delights with its gothic-style cathedral and picture-perfect parks that offer a quiet spot to relax.

Half Day: Falmouth
Falmouth has been shaped and influenced by its strong connection to the sea. Combining a fascinating maritime heritage and modern creativity, Falmouth is home to the world's third largest natural harbour, Falmouth boasts some of Cornwall's best views.

Half Day: Land's End and Penzance
We make our way to England’s most westerly point, Land’s End, where rocky cliffs tower above the sea. Then we continue to Penzance, immortalised by Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Pirates of Penzance’. The town enjoys a mild climate all year round and boasts many fine period buildings and exotic gardens.

Turkey & Tinsel Programme
MONDAY: It’s Christmas Eve – From local departure points relax, get to know your fellow holidaymakers, and enjoy the comfortable coach journey to the venue of your choice. Before dinner you are invited to a welcome reception with your hosts and, after dinner, relax in the bar or lounge and enjoy a drink with your new-found friends.

TUESDAY: It’s Christmas Day – Start this ‘Christmas’ day with a leisurely breakfast then sit back and enjoy a full day excursion before returning for one of the highlights of the week... a full ‘Christmas’ dinner with all the festive trimmings and a visit from Santa! After dinner enjoy a night of festive entertainment.

WEDNESDAY: It’s Boxing Day – After breakfast, board your coach for a full day sightseeing excursion before returning to the hotel. In the evening look forward to a Boxing Day dinner followed by festive entertainment.

THURSDAY: It’s New Year’s Eve – After breakfast, board your coach for a leisurely half day sightseeing excursion before returning to the hotel. In the evening look forward to a special New Year’s Eve dinner followed by entertainment to see in the ‘New Year’!

FRIDAY: Fond Farewells – After breakfast it’s time to make our way home.
This is a sample Turkey and Tinsel itinerary and some programmes will vary and in some instances, meals will be buffet style.
