Local departure by coach, then on to Scarborough and our hotel for four nights. We enjoy a tea, coffee or mulled wine with a festive treat on arrival to get us into the spirit of the season.

Today we visit beautiful and historic York. Uncover some of the city’s Viking past at the Jorvik Viking Centre, discover 300 years of railway history at the National Railway Museum, or learn more about York’s sweet history at the Chocolate Story. Don’t miss the unforgettable York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe and a superb example of beautiful, Gothic architecture. Browse York’s many shops, from high street favourites to quirky and independent boutiques, along with excellent cafés, pubs and restaurants, and not forgetting the unusual Shambles, with its overhanging timber-framed houses and traditional shopfronts.

At this time of year, York is home to St Nicholas Fair, one of the best Christmas Markets in the county, boasting traders from across the country selling the traditional festive foods and hand-crafted gifts.

We return back to the hotel in time for our 'Christmas Dinner' and evening entertainment

This morning we take a trip along the coast to nearby Whitby. Whitby has connections with Bram Stoker’s Dracula and combined with the Abbey ruins, has long embraced the Gothic. In contrast, its colourful harbour and pier are every bit the classical seaside town with traditional holiday attractions.
