We visit one of the most popular Christmas markets in the UK. Wooden huts and pretty lights will line Parliament Street. Stall holders, dressed in Dickensian costumes, will be offering a huge array of gifts including jewellery, decorations, ceramics, as well as seasonal food and drinks.
Day 1 TUESDAY We journey north, with refreshment stops en-route, arriving at our hotel in time for dinner and our 3-night stay.
Day 2 WEDNESDAY After breakfast, we travel to the medieval city of York, beautifully transformed for the festive season. Explore the iconic St. Nicholas Fayre, where costumed stallholders, traditional chalets, and the aroma of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and spicy gingerbread fill the crisp winter air... Just the ‘ticket’ to get you into the Festive Spirit. After a day of seasonal shopping and sightseeing, return to the hotel to relax and enjoy your evening meal.
Day 3 THURSDAY After breakfast we set out to Castle Howard. Castle Howard is one of England's grandest Baroque mansions. It is a joy to visit at this time of the year with rooms lit by roaring fires and candlelight. See the dramatic Castle-like rooms transformed with giant Christmas trees, traditional decorations and brilliant displays chosen by the Howard family.
Day 4 FRIDAY Homeward bound, with suitable refreshment stops, arriving early evening.
Burn Hall Hotel is located about 10 miles north of York and is a Victorian mansion house set amidst eight acres of stunning parkland within the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside. All bedrooms have TV, Wi-Fi, hairdryer & hospitality tray. There is a pleasant restaurant, bar, and a lift to all floors.
