This is the first festive post I have written for Christmas 2018 and I was inspired to write it after receiving the Eastons Day Excursions brochure through my door. I would have written it a few weeks ago but I didn’t dare to be the first one to start mentioning Christmas! I absolutely adore Christmas though so I am delighted that the festive items are all now in the shops as it means I can now get away with blogging about all things Christmassy! Yay!
I wanted to write this post to let you all know about the wonderful festive day excursions and holidays that Eastons are organising. I would say there are too many to mention but as I wanted this post to be comprehensive I have mentioned all of their Christmas trips….all 31 of them!
All excursion coaches begin at their Stratton Strawless depot, where free parking is available, and will pickup at Hellesdon, Norwich City Centre and Harford or Thickthorn Park and Ride sites. Excursions heading southbound will serve Attleborough and Thetford and excursions heading Northbound will serve Dereham and Swaffham. To find out where each trip picks up from you need to click the excursion title (which I have written in red) and on the page it takes you to there will be the option to view the pick up points for that specific trip.
Please be aware that tickets to these trips are selling fast so if you want to book I advise you to do it sooner rather than later, so you don’t miss out.
I have always loved a coach trip as there is something so special about going on an excursion with lots of people. It really adds to the excitement of the trip as you are all in it together and on the way there people sometimes talk to each other about what they are going to do/see when they get there and on the way back people often talk to each other to find out if you had fun. It’s always a lovely atmosphere on an Eastons day excursion and the drivers are so friendly and always point out the landmarks and points of interest on the way to and from your destination. This is always a highlight for me and my daughter as we love getting to see the sights from the bus and it’s always so much better when the drivers speak up on the tannoy to let you know what you are looking at! 🙂
Eastons is based in Stratton Strawless near Norwich so they are fairly local to me. Back in February the wonderful team kindly gifted me and my daughter tickets so that we could go and see ‘Wicked – The Musical’ in the West End and it was a day we will never forget. We had so much fun and we documented our trip in a blog post…..please take a look >> Review Of Our Trip To See ‘Wicked The Musical’ In London With Eastons Holidays.
Whether you are currently in the festive spirit or not, once you have booked a Christmas trip or Holiday with Eastons you are sure to start feeling excited about the prospect of Christmas arriving. I am writing this on Monday October 8th and there are just 78 days to go!
