Day 1. Welcome to Harrogate
We pick you up from your door and journey to Harrogate. Glass of wine with dinner this evening.
Day 2. Harrogate and RHS Glow at Harlow
The morning is free for you to explore Harrogate. Enjoy a lovely stroll through beautiful Valley Gardens, explore the delightful Victorian arcades for some retail therapy. Have a relaxing lunch in one of the many restaurants, cafes and bars. A visit to Betty’s is not to be missed! In the later afternoon we travel to Harlow Carr. Explore breath-taking beauty of the garden as amazing illuminations light your way on the spectacular Glow trail. See iconic features adorned with festive lights including Streamside, the Edwardian Garden, Queen Mother’s Lake, Winter Walk, Doric Columns, Bath House and the Kitchen Garden. Marvel at the ‘field of fire’ on the Main Lawn.
Day 3. Festive York
Enjoy the Christmas cheer on offer in one of the UK's most festive cities as York's restaurants, shops and attractions are beautifully decorated and provide a wonderful winter experience. The market features more than 75 wooden chalets that fill the city’s pedestrianised streets, offering a range of locally crafted treasures, artisan gifts, seasonal food and drinks, and local produce.
Day 4. Homeward Journey
Sadly, we wave goodbye to our hosts at the Cairn Hotel, arriving early evening for our taxis home.
