Things to Do on Festive Day Trips

Each Theobolds Festive Day Trip is filled with seasonal cheer, offering the best destinations for shopping, sightseeing, and Christmas fun.

At the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market, discover the largest authentic German market outside Germany, with handcrafted gifts, twinkling lights, and the smell of mulled wine filling the air. Or explore the Bullring & Grand Central, Birmingham’s top shopping destination — perfect for ticking off your gift list.

Step into the magic of Winchester Christmas Market, where the stunning backdrop of the cathedral and wooden chalets create a fairy-tale setting for festive shopping. In Melton Mowbray, enjoy a taste of local tradition before visiting the dazzling Christmas displays at Gates Garden Centre.

If you love grand festive displays, Waddesdon Manor at Christmas is a must-see. Wander through the beautifully decorated house, explore the Christmas fair, and follow the glowing light trail through the gardens.

For those who enjoy history and charm, Gloucester Quays Christmas Market combines Victorian dockside scenery with festive food, handmade gifts, and over 100 local traders. Or head to Kingston upon Thames, where the riverside market transforms into a winter wonderland filled with Alpine cabins, crafts, and cosy fireside moments.

Travel back in time at the Rochester Dickensian Festival, where costumed performers, mulled wine, and traditional markets bring Victorian England to life. Or enjoy the magical Victorian Christmas Market in Stratford-upon-Avon, where cobbled streets are lined with hundreds of festive stalls.

If you’re after a truly London Christmas, our London Lights & Fish & Chips Feast trip offers a warm, delicious supper followed by a guided tour of the city’s glittering illuminations. And for a festive musical treat, nothing beats Carols at the Royal Albert Hall — a heartwarming performance that captures the very spirit of Christmas.

Wherever you choose to go, every Theobolds festive coach trip includes comfortable travel, friendly service, and unforgettable seasonal experiences.
