Join us this Sunday for an exciting journey along the motorway, complete with a comfort stop. Our first stop will be the charming market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, rich in over 800 years of history. Discover both well-known shops and unique boutiques, and don’t miss the chance to visit Shakespeare’s birthplace or Anne Hathaway’s cottage. After some time to explore and enjoy a meal, we’ll continue to the Hilton Oxford Belfry Hotel, arriving by mid-afternoon for a delightful evening meal in the Spires Restaurant.
