Itinerary
Day 1From a pick-up in your local area, we travel to Leeds. With a bustling shopping scene, this city is the ideal place to get some all-important Christmas shopping ticked off the list. From the biggest brand names to festive pop-up markets with unique treasures, there is plenty on offer, all within easy walking distance. There's time for dinner at leisure in Leeds (not included) before we head to the hotel for our overnight stay.Day 2We visit the annual St Nicholas Fayre in York, one of the most popular festive markets in the country. Like stepping into a scene from a Dickens' tale, the lively Victorian market stalls sell everything from local produce to traditional gifts and crafts. Treat yourself to delicious food, fresh from the farmers' market or indulge in a glass of warming mulled wine. Afterwards, we depart for our return journey home.
York
Book your next trip to York, one of Europe's most popular historic cities, renowned for its Roman, Viking and Medieval heritage with lots of attractions for visitors to enjoy. The streets are full of historic buildings, traditional shops and cafés, and a number of museums and art galleries.
The city's historic sites are impressive, contained within the city walls which date back to Roman times and are themselves an integral part of York's unique character.\n\n
Leeds
The vibrant and popular city of Leeds attracts more visitors a year than many traditional seaside resorts and as the only city outside of London with its own repertory theatre, opera house and ballet company, it's easy to see why.
Taking a coach holiday to this cultured metropolis can be a great way to explore the many sights on offer.
