Day 1
London - Blackpool - Blackburn
This morning, we depart by coach for Blackpool, home to the world-famous Blackpool Illuminations and the festive Christmas by the Sea attraction! Enjoy the magical seaside Christmas village, featuring seasonal decorations, festive light displays and a wonderful Christmas atmosphere along the promenade.
A much-loved part of British life since 1879, the Blackpool Illuminations continue to delight visitors with their dazzling displays of light. Why not take a stroll along the famous Golden Mile, passing the town’s three traditional piers and the iconic Blackpool Tower? Alternatively, discover the Comedy Carpet, a unique installation in front of the tower featuring jokes and catchphrases from some of Britain’s best-loved comedians who have performed in Blackpool.
Enjoy the festive atmosphere and sparkling illuminations before we depart for our hotel in the Blackburn area in the late evening for an overnight stay.
Day 2
Blackburn - Chester - London
After breakfast, we travel to the historic city of Chester, where the festive spirit fills the streets during this magical time of year. Explore Chester Christmas Market, where charming wooden stalls offer a selection of seasonal gifts, local treats and festive delights.
We will also visit the magnificent Chester Cathedral, home to the annual Christmas Tree Festival, featuring more than 90 beautifully decorated trees. Take time to admire the creative displays and soak up the enchanting Christmas atmosphere in this historic setting.
Later, we depart for London, bringing our festive getaway to an end. We bid farewell to the group.

In England the currency you will require will be Pounds (GBP/Sterling). Star Tours advices passengers to exchange any spending money for their holiday before they actually travel. Whilst on tour it is very convenient to change money and most places we will be visiting will have ATM machines or accept credit/debit cards.
We also advice our passengers to keep some change in coins on them whilst on tour as using toilets in many parts of the UK is not free.
An important point to note whilst on a touring holiday is that some long journeys are unavoidable especially when travelling from city to city. It is advisable passengers carry necessities that they may need for the day such as water, dry snacks, cameras etc. with them in their hand luggage.
