A Christmas to Remember
Festive Day Excursions
12 EXCURSIONS · 14 DEPARTURE DATES
There’s something special about getting out and about in the run-up to Christmas. A leisurely lunch with friends, the glow of a beautifully lit garden, a favourite Christmas song played live — and the pleasure of leaving the driving to somebody else.
This November and December, join Woods Travel for festive days out, from castle lunches and cruises to illuminated gardens, concerts and Christmas shopping. Take a look through our collection and find the day that’s just right for you.
