VISITS

Click on any underlined link for further information.

We arrange visits every month with the exception of April and August.

Tickets are sold 2 months prior to the visit and in the first instance are sold to members only.

We can accommodate a maximum of 49 people on our coach for most of our visits and tickets are sold on a first come first served basis.

Booking forms and tickets are available from the Visits Desk in the hall at lecture meetings.  We ask you always to pay for your tickets by cheque.

Once a year, traditionally in Autumn, we plan a short holiday either in Britain or abroad with the help of Tour Nadfas.  These holidays cater for about 35 people and use good quality hotels.  Visits are arranged by Howard Roberts.

WEDNESDAY November 26th

Themed tour of Blenheim Palace covering the role of the Ladies of Blenheim

Our visit to Blenheim has been timed to coincide with the period when the house is dressed for Christmas

On arrival we will have coffee and biscuits in the Indian Room and an introductory talk on The Ladies of Blenheim lasting about 40 minutes,  there will then be a tour of the house with this theme for which we will be in two groups.

There will be ample time to revisit the house at your leisure and there is a new self guided tour on the upper floor entitled The Untold Story of Blenheim which again takes about 35 minutes and features all the latest technology for displays.

 Being near Christmas there are two shops to tempt you.
