DAY 1: Depart from your home area travelling to Harrogate, arriving at the Old Swan Hotel. Enjoy a 4 nights stay dinner, bed and breakfast.
DAY 2: Today we journey to the historic city of York where you can enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Christmas Markets. Wander through the medieval alleyways and independent shops of the Shambles or enjoy the fashionable shops of Parliament Street. When you’ve had your fill of shopping, take a little time out to visit the spectacular York Minster itself.
DAY 3: Today we enjoy a trip to Castle Howard, one of Britain’s finest historic houses. Discover the festively decorated house at your own pace, admiring its awe-inspiring architecture, interiors, and world-renowned collections, with something to capture everyone’s imagination.
DAY 4: After a leisurely breakfast you have time to explore Harrogate at leisure. Perhaps take a stroll through the beautiful Valley Gardens followed by some retail therapy around the independent shops of the Montpellier Quarter or in the delightful Victorian Westminster Arcade. Perhaps visit the famous ‘Betty’s Tearooms’ for a morning break or look around The Mercer Art Gallery just a short stroll from the hotel. In the afternoon, enjoy a cream tea at the hotel with tea, scones, clotted cream and jam to end your week on a sweet note!
