From a Palace to a Castle

Day 1 Morning departure for the journey to Hampton Court Palace for their festive fayre, where the magnificent courtyards and grounds will be transformed into a food lovers winter wonderland, delicious artisan food and drink and perfect gifts to shop for. Soak up the atmosphere and spirit of the season, with live music from the bandstand. Your entry ticket for the festival also includes entry into the Palace and Gardens so you will have plenty to see and do.

Day 2 After breakfast, you will depart from the hotel and travel to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Established in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, it has been remodelled by successive Kings and Queens, including Henry II, Charles II and George IV. Today the castle is used regularly for ceremonial State occasions and Royal weddings. Christmas is a magical time to visit with the State Apartments adorned with glittering decorations, trees and lights to celebrate the festive season. Explore the shops for Christmas gift ideas, inspired by works in the Royal Collections. As dusk falls you will experience the great park with its amazing illuminations. Follow a path through woodland awash with colour as sparkles of fireflies, luminous beacons and dancing fairies blaze the way, the lake alive with flood-lit fountains and glimmering reflections. The coach will depart to commence the homeward journey at 19.00 hours.
