2026 Festive Trip - Leeds Castle

Friday 11 December 2026

Leeds Castle

Expressions of interest are invited for this year’s festive trip to the beautiful 900 year-old Leeds Castle in Kent.

Enjoy the castle dressed for the festivities (with a Wallace and Grommit theme) and wander the 500 acres of gardens and grounds (weather permitting!). Learn about the Anglo-American heiress, Lady Baillie, who transformed the castle. An audio guide is included with your ticket.

There are various options for refreshments. If you would like a festive lunch, this has to be pre-booked (minimum group size 15). Cream tea vouchers are also available (£8.00)
You can find more information on the Leeds Castle Website

Booking will open on Monday 12 October. The final price will be published in the early October newsletter, but the cost is expected to be under £50.00.
