Overnight Trip! 26th to 27th March 2022

We are thrilled to announce we are offering adult carers the chance to enjoy a special weekend respite break in 2022. Over two days and one night we will explore the charms of west England as we journey back in time to the legend of King Arthur and the Holy Grail.

ITINERARY

Saturday 26th March. Leaving early, we will visit Stonehenge en route to our accommodation in Street. After a light lunch your time is your own. You can choose from a gentle hike to the top of Glastonbury Tor, a visit to the beautiful Chalice Well Peace Garden, a stroll around Street or the chance to hunt down a bargain in the Clark’s outlet village nearby. In the evening we shall dine as a group with entertainment afterwards.

Sunday 27th March Sunday morning and again the choice is yours; join a small group tour to the top of Glastonbury Tor, enjoy mindfulness meditation in the Chalice Well garden, visit the Clark’s outlet village, visit Glastonbury Abbey or explore the majesty of the Bishop’s Palace and Cathedral in nearby Wells. We will depart for home late morning, stopping for lunch at one of the many historic homes en route, before arriving back at Tolworth early evening.
