Itinerary

Day 1 Meet your coach at your selected pick-up point and travel to Dublin for the early-morning ferry crossing to Holyhead. Begin your Christmas shopping on board and take advantage of the Duty-Free offers now available with the new allowances. On arrival in Holyhead, continue to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet where you’ll have free time to explore over 140 stores at your leisure. Later, travel onward to Birmingham and check in to your hotel. Spend the rest of the evening enjoying the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Markets or relaxing as you wish.

Day 2 After breakfast, enjoy a full day at leisure in Birmingham. Explore the city’s many attractions and shops — including the world’s largest Primark, spanning 161,000 sq ft across five floors, featuring a Disney-themed café, barber shop, beauty studio, and of course plenty of great-value fashion. Don’t miss the Bullring and Grand Central Shopping Centre, home to over 200 stores. Be sure to revisit the Christmas markets if you didn’t have time the night before — or simply want to enjoy them again!

Day 3 Following breakfast, check out of the hotel (departure time will be confirmed by your tour manager) and join your coach for the journey to Caledonia Park Designer Outlet Village at Gretna Green. Enjoy some final shopping time before travelling onward to Cairnryan for the evening sailing to Belfast Port. Upon arrival, you will be returned to your original joining point.
