Make your own way to our hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, where you will meet our Tour Manager and enjoy a relaxing evening with dinner.
This morning, we enjoy an included walking tour of Stratford-upon-Avon, where we will be joined by a local Blue Badge guide. We discover this medieval market town, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, born here in 1564 in a half-timbered house on Henley Street. After the tour, the rest of the afternoon is at leisure to explore further, before making your way back to the hotel for the New Year's Eve gala dinner to welcome in 2024!
Happy New Year! After a leisurely breakfast, we travel by coach to Cheltenham Racecourse for the New Year's Day Races. There is no better way to enjoy a day at Cheltenham Races than from the Club/Tatts Enclosure, with access to all public areas and spectacular views from the main grandstand, including the pre-parade ring, views opposite the finishing line, steps at the front of the Princes Royal Stand, winners' enclosure and much more. Enjoy the spectacle and fun of the races, and you might even pick a wining horse! With plenty of places to eat and drink and so much to see, it will be a fun-filled afternoon. Our coach returns us to the hotel for dinner this evening.
After breakfast, we say goodbye to our Shakespearean setting before you make your own way home.
