Mini-Breaks
43 tours from £169pp
Who says big adventures need big plans? Sometimes a few days away is all you need, and with our Mini-Breaks collection, you’ve just found your perfect holiday shortcut! Featuring 3-day weekends and shorter holidays with everything put together in one handy package, you can make the most of every moment as it’s all taken care of for you.
From favourite UK destinations to breaks taking in exhilarating air shows and entertaining theatre productions, and with hotels, travel, activities and most meals sorted for you, our bite-sized breaks have everything wrapped up so you can focus on what you’re there to do; relax and enjoy yourself on a hassle-free escape!
When your time away is limited, there’s no time to lose, which is why Mini-Breaks feature streamlined pick-ups, shorter journey times, and afternoon arrival times so you have more time to relax or explore. As soon as you step onto your comfortable coach, you’ll be making a beeline straight to your destination – there’s no interchange or transferring to another vehicle, and less driving means it’ll be no time before you’re arriving!
So, take the time to stroll along the Northumbrian Coast, enjoy that ice cream on Brighton Beach, or wander through the quaint streets in Windemere. If you’re looking for musical extravaganzas and incredible events, be blown away (not literally!) at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta or crack up at the hilarious musical Calamity Jane – it’s all waiting for you on a miniature getaway!
Good things come in small packages, so browse the collection below and see where your bite-sized break will take you…
