Our Reunion short breaks seem to get better and better each year. It’s our opportunity to thank you for joining us on our Great Days Out and Door2Door Holidays, to catch up with so many friends that we’ve made over the years and, of course, to warmly welcome new customers. This year, our inclusive break will be held at the stylish Bridgewood Manor Hotel & Spa, and along with our usual breakfast and dinner inclusions, we’ve also arranged lunch every day at three different venues, including a special Christmas lunch at Hever Castle. Hever Castle have won Best Christmas Experience at the 2022 and 2023 Group Leisure & Travel Awards with judges commenting on its fascinating all round experience. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible.
Carl, Graham, Les and Alan are all due to host/drive for our special 101 anniversary celebrations, they look forward to welcoming you on board.
Book soon - twins available, 1 double room left, single rooms on request.

Wednesday
Catch up with friendly faces en route to the hotel, stopping off for a light lunch along the way. Enjoy tea/coffee at the hotel as your bags are taken to your room. After a glass of wine with dinner tonight you’ll be ready for some evening entertainment and maybe join in with our light-hearted quiz.
Thursday
Cross over to the Isle of Sheppey to spend this morning at the Blue Town and Criterion Heritage Centre. After tea/coffee, take a private guided tour through Nelson’s Cabin, an original Music Hall and Sheerness Co-op 1816 – this unique heritage centre is dedicated to showcasing the diverse history of the Isle of Sheppey. The choice is yours this afternoon – either treat yourself to complimentary tea/coffee and cake in the hotel lounge, take a dip in the pool or join the coach to Rochester for some sightseeing (or Christmas shopping). Rochester was cherished by the Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, who lived here as a child and returned as a successful author. You’ll find a Norman Castle, England’s second oldest cathedral and a High Street packed with independent shops and cafés. This evening, enjoy a pre-dinner drink before our special Gala Dinner and dancing.
Friday
We’ll check-out mid-morning and make our way to the romantic, double-moated, 13th century castle at Hever - once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and displaying two of her prayer books bearing her inscriptions and signature! The richly decorated rooms look even more elaborate at this time of year as warming log fires and twinkling Christmas trees light up the panelled walls, Tudor portraits, tapestries and antiques. There’s time for a wander in the gift shop before tucking in to a two-course Christmas lunch to round off the Reunion celebrations.
