We start with a local departure for our journey South. Accommodation has been reserved for 2 nights on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis at a good class hotel.
On day 2, after breakfast, we head to the south coast and Portsmouth. Here the famous Victorian Festival of Christmas is staged at the historic dockyard and your ticket includes entry into the Royal Navy Museum, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior, the Mary Rose Museum and ‘Action Stations’.
There are usually street entertainers, stalls, snowy streets and carol singers, many dressed in Victorian costume. Close-by there is the Gun Wharf Quays shopping centre, the Spinnaker Tower and Charles Dickens birthplace. Return back to the hotel for dinner and the night.
On day 3, after breakfast, we travel to Worcester Victorian Fayre. Set against the background of the Cathedral this special event usually has around 150 stalls selling all types of Christmas gifts, food and mulled wine. Return back later on.
