Enjoy a leisurely full English Breakfast before we journey into the beautiful Peak District and the charming town of Bakewell for its much loved Christmas market.

Set throughout the town centre, you'll discover around 100 festive chalets offering artisan foods, handmade crafts, unique gifts and seasonal treats.

Famous for its Bakewell Tarts, the town is already a delight - and the Christmas Market is truly the icing on the cake.

We return to the hotel later in the day, where your included Dinner awaits.

After a traditional Sunday Breakfast, we depart for the spectacular Nottingham Winter Wonderland, one of the Midlands' most impressive festive attractions. (Start date - Subject to Confirmation)

Set in the heart of the city, Winter Wonderland features twinkling alpine-style stalls, seasonal food and drink, festive music and a vibrant Christmas atmosphere.

The event often includes highlights such as an ice rink, observation wheel, themed bars and cosy seating areas - perfect for enjoying the festive spirit at your own pace.

Following your visit, we begin our return journey to the West Midlands in the afternoon.
