Group Leisure & Travel – May 2019

Tour ideas

Football fans will no doubt have

the tour of Wembley Stadium

connected by EE, on their radar.

Providing the ultimate behind-

the scenes look into what makes

the home of British football so

special, the tour includes access

to the dressing rooms, press

conference room, the player’s

tunnel, the royal box and most

importantly, you’ll go pitch-side.

Group bookings are available for

those with 25 or more members.

Immerse your group into the life

of one of Britain’s most famous

and profound playwrights at the

Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust.

Take advantage of exclusive

VIP evening tours at the bard’s

birthplace in Stratford-upon-

Avon, offering unique talks, wine,

and canapes for an evening of

British culture. Also, visit the

house where Shakespeare first

laid eyes on his eventual bride

Anne Hathaway. Whilst there,

you can also head to Hall’s

Croft, Mary Arden’s Farm and

Shakespeare’s New Place to get

the full Tudor experience.

Wonderful Wembley

The impressive arch attached to the

new Wembley is three and half times

bigger than one of the old twin towers

and is wide enough for a Channel

Tunnel train to run through!

If you love golf, you can explore its heritage at the British

Golf Museum which can be found directly opposite the

iconic Old Course, St Andrews, considered the home of

golf. The museum houses material that dates back to the

1600s and showcases more than 16,000 items relating to

the sport. Groups will receive a discounted entry price with

organisers going free. Each ticket is valid for two days and

includes a guide book with tour options available. There is

also a fantastic café with wonderful views of the golf courses

and beach, plus a shop for souvenirs to take home.
