What do you generally do on Christmas day? Spend most of it by the stove, and tend to a number of guests? Give yourself a break! Instead of spending, the festival in a traditional way, why don’t you plan Christmas Coach breaks in the UK? Yes, coaches! Because they are sure to keep your costs down, while delivering a great experience.
Great, you are going to avail Christmas coach breaks, but where would you go? Here are the most popular festive attractions in the area!
Burning the Clocks
The folks of Brighton and Hove prepare beautiful lanterns, made from willow and paper for this event, which is celebrated on December 21st. A lantern procession is carried out from the city, and then directed towards Brighton beach. The lamps are then burnt; fireworks are exploded and music is played. The display is absolutely stunning.
The Snowman
Christmas without this movie is incomplete for most of us, but this year, let’s watch it a new way. At Midlands, the movie is accompanied by live orchestra, which plays the original score.
Living Advent Calendar
Live countdowns to Christmas are popular in other European countries, but in the UK, this is only done at Henley-on-Thames. Different buildings in the town open doors or windows every day till December 24, for a 30 minute performance. Dances, rock bands, poetry recitals, full choirs – plus, so many interesting performances; you’d get to see a lot of variety here.
Underground Grotto
Home to the biggest underground trampoline in the world, Bounce Below can be enjoyed on three weekends in December amidst beautiful light displays and Santa’s grotto. The kids bounce for a good number of minutes, and then they are given gifts.
You can also visit the nearby Clearwell Caves, and watch a festive plat at the iron mines.
