Tuesday – We begin our day with a visit to the small city of Rochester. It’s amazing selection of independent shops offering that special gift idea, ideal for Christmas shopping. We continue our day with a highlight in the tour and our visit to the magnificent Leeds castle. Nestled in the heart of Kent, this glamorous and historical castle is transformed into a winter wonderland with enchanting lights, decorations and its very own Christmas stalls and fairground rides bringing the magic of Christmas to us all! A chance for lunch from the street food vendors before you explore the inside of this beautiful castle. 

 

Wednesday – A morning coffee stop at nearby Chatham town centre, before we spend the rest of the day at the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, “Hever Castle”. You’ll enjoy another amazing castle experience along with a full Christmas lunch with all the trimmings! As the sun goes down, the festivities continue within the grounds with decorated Christmas trees, adorned with fairy lights and the whole castle beautifully lit for a truly magical atmosphere.

 

Thursday – A morning visit to Maidstone before we continue to Canterbury and an opportunity to enjoy the traditional Christmas market in this medieval town with wooden huts dotted throughout the city centre all around the cathedral. Back to the hotel mid-afternoon to relax or you may wish to use the hotel’s superb leisure facilities including a superb indoor swimming pool.
