Monday 9th - Friday 13th December 2024
Millennium Square in Leeds City Centre will once again transform into a scenic winter village, with over 40 traditional wooden chalet stalls decorated with festive greenery and twinkling colourful lights, themed indoor venues and the traditional Christmas carousel ride. This year we also visit York’s Christmas Markets, certainly one not to be missed. York, more than any other city, is a living record of English history. Dominated by the magnificent Minster around which cluster narrow medieval streets and surrounded by massive walls, it has been an important town since Roman times.
Get yourself in the Christmas spirit as you wander around the St. Nicholas Fair in the centre or you could wander off the beaten track to find the hidden gems down the Shambles or browse around the diversion selection of unique goods on the Shambles Market.
We also treat you to a festive afternoon tea with a glass of fizz!
* Please note regarding title and itinerary change- there will be a Christmas market, but until details are released by Leeds County Council, we cannot guarantee the presence of the german market aspect *
Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we travel north to Harrogate, making suitable stops en route. We have a mulled wine reception on arrival, and dinner will be followed by live entertainment.
Day 2: This morning we make our way to Leeds for their Christmas Markets. This festive treat will once again boast a wide range of stalls and food & drink alongside the traditional Christmas Carousel. This Christmas event will feature a mix of traditionally decorated wooden chalet stalls selling seasonal gifts, ornaments, toy decorations and a range of delicious food and drink.
Day 3: We spend the day relaxing and exploring delightful Harrogate. Historic buildings, delightful gardens and stylish shops are all waiting to be discovered in Harrogate. However, be sure to be back to the hotel in the afternoon to rest your tired feet and take stock of all the shopping, where you will be spoilt with a sumptuous ‘festive-themed’ Mini Afternoon Tea and a glass of Festive Fizz. There will be dinner again in the evening with live entertainment.
Day 4: Today we head to the historic cathedral city of York where you will be able to make the most of the city and enjoy the atmosphere of the Christmas Markets. Get yourself in the Christmas spirit as you wander around the St. Nicholas Fair in the centre or you could wander off the beaten track to find the hidden gems down the Shambles or browse around the diversion selection of unique goods on the Shambles Market.
Day 5: We depart the hotel and travel to Lincoln for some free time. Packed with history, there are plenty of things to do here – Lincoln Castle is a must-see with its Victorian Prison and Magna Carta Vault, the spectacular Lincoln Cathedral is one of the country's most spectacular Gothic buildings whose interior is as impressive as its exterior, or perhaps you'd rather visit one of the many traditional tearooms – the perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by! (attractions subject to individual choice and payment). Later we return to Norfolk where our door to door taxi service will be waiting to take you home.
