WELCOME
To our collection of
Special Interest Holidays
for 2020
Take part in your favourite activity,
learn a new skill or indulge an interest.
Our Special Interest brochure is packed with a
fantastic collection of holidays to cater for a whole
host of interests – including some which are brand
new for 2020!
Take photos from a whole new perspective flying a drone, lend
your voice to singing sea shanties on our Songs of the Sea break
– based at a coastal location of course! – or learn some dance
steps with one of the former professional dancers from Strictly
Come Dancing. There’s the chance to try two new styles of
dancing too – Sequence and Line – and to spend two evenings
dressed in your finest, practicing classic ballroom dances on a
Ballroom Dance Break.
Artistic types can try painting watercolours ‘Bold and Free’ style,
creating vibrant florals or capturing autumn colours, trying their
hand at calligraphy or capturing the character of animals on
paper. If you are a bit of a book worm, you’ll love our new range
of Book Club Weekends while Bridge players can now combine
their favourite card game with some guided sightseeing. Relax
on a Mind & Body Retreat and try a selection of taster sessions
or join our special Guest Leader - Strictly’s Flavia Cacace - for an
energetic Dance Hiit workout.
We’ve a whole host of tours which focus on the heritage and
history of a local area plus a new tour visiting some of the
Lake District’s finest gardens. Literary buffs shouldn’t miss our
brand new ‘Words by the Water’ weekend break which visits the
eponymous festival just a short distance from our country house
in Keswick.
If you have a special interest that your partner doesn’t share,
don’t forget – they can come with you but enjoy a self-guided
break instead.
Whatever you are into, enjoy browsing our brochure to get some
inspiration and visit our website to find out more.
We look forward to welcoming you on a Special Interest Holiday
very soon.
