Itinerary (Coach)
Day 1From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to Manchester to explore the famous Christmas Market. Browse the many stalls, enjoy live music and revel in the festive makeover that attracts thousands of visitors year after year. There is time to have dinner (not included) before we rejoin the coach and continue to our hotel for our overnight stay.\n\nDay 2 After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and travel to the East Lancashire Railway train station to board the City of Wells Steam Train for our festive adventure. Christmas Carol singers greet us on the platform to make a truly memorable experience. Then it's time to take a seat inside the much-cherished locomotive and tuck into mince pies along with your favourite tipple. Don't miss Santa! He's on board too, with a gift for everyone. Afterwards, we re-join the coach for our journey home.

JG3
Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.
