The Poppy Factory was opened in 1922 as a place for veterans to be supported back into employment and they still make Remembrance poppies and wreaths today. The visit includes a presentation and self-guided tour when you will have the chance to have a go at wreath- and poppy-making. Tea and cake are included!
In the afternoon we will have time to explore 18th century Chiswick House on a self-led tour, as well as the beautiful landscaped gardens.
We should return between 6:00pm & 7:00pm.

Our aim at Pennywood Tours is to give you a relaxing and carefree time where we do all the work so you can sit back and enjoy the trip.
To this end, all tours are escorted by a group leader who will check you on board and make sure you can find your allocated seat. We’ll seat you with the person/people you are booked with but if you know of anyone else on the trip who has booked separately please let us know in advance and we’ll try to seat you all together. The coach will be a super deluxe vehicle with a toilet and is incredibly comfortable.
Our Group Leader will advise you of all the details of travel times, stops, when to return to the coach etc. so you will be in no doubt about what and when. He or she will be available for any additional questions you may have.
We will do our best to stick to our itinerary but you will understand that when there are traffic jams or adverse weather conditions, we may struggle to do everything as planned but we will let you know what information we have in these situations when we have it.
We look forward to seeing you and welcome any questions you may have by contacting us at info@pennywoodtours.com or on 01622 434 981.
