There is plenty of choice from Gold Crest Holidays for those looking for a short break close to home. We offer an exciting range of themed short breaks by coach ranging from two to four days in duration.

Regular UK break favourites include the spectacular Edinburgh Military Tattoo, exciting British Grand Prix, Ladies Day at Royal Ascot with its mix of action and fashion, and Chelsea Flower Show tour, the world’s most popular flower show.

We will also be showcasing a range of new value-for-money two day breaks to the countries top attractions. At Highclere Castle - the setting of Downton Abbey - you can explore the home of the hit TV shows’ Crawley family or join us for the stunning Battle Proms. Chatsworth House is another beautiful stately home which was recently on TV and Liverpool will be the place to be during The Beatles’ anniversary year. Our newest Flower Show break is the Southport Flower Show - be one of the 70,000 visitors that attend the UK’s largest independent flower show.

Finally, we have unveiled an exciting new range of breaks to London. Relive the 2012 Olympics with our London 2012 Olympic legacy tour, see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the West End, explore the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace and Royal London, or discover the magic behind Harry Potter at the Warner Bros.
