The cold weather and the drawn-out nights are no excuse not to get out and enjoy all that the UK has to offer. To help get you through those winter blues, we have compiled a few fun ideas that could change your seasonal perspective! Also, if you are a group leader looking to arrange a trip to any of these destinations, please call our transport team to talk about our special offers and coach hire options.
Horse riding
Explore some of the most beautiful parts of the UK in the most traditional of ways. Whether it’s across the vast beaches of west Wales or the tranquil setting of the lake district, wherever you live you can guarantee a riding centre will be local. Most stables offer lessons for beginners right through to long treks for the more experienced riders. Taking the kids? We recommend a pony trek or indoor school session.
Mountain biking
If you’re looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush and want to get some exercise for that new year’s resolution, then a day out mountain biking ticks all those boxes! The UK is blessed with a range of trails to suit everyone from beginners to experienced riders. We recommend the Cannock Chase Mountain Bike trail centre, based in the Midlands it has routes for all abilities and is perfect for a winter weekend ride. We have coach hire options that will get you and your bikes there safe as sound.
Afternoon tea
This traditional British sitting of tea, sandwiches and cake has made a real resurgence in recent years. Café’s, restaurants and hotels all over the UK have jumped on the band wagon and started offering afternoon tea service. It’s a great winter warmer after a day’s shopping and you can find some great deals online.
A trip to the Theatre
A visit to the theatre is a great way to sit back and escape the real world. It also comes with the added bonus of being warm and dry! The obvious choice is the West End. It’s packed with some of the oldest and most famous theatres in the UK and offers daily and evening performances most days. If you’re looking for something more local and not so expense, we would recommend a visit to your local theatre. Travel can be really challenging this time year so why not book a coach or minibus for your group?
