If you’ve never seen the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, you’ve missed out! It’s a festive feast of theatrics with amazing performers (including from the West End) in a huge professional show of incredible music, dancing, lights and costumes. NOT TO BE MISSED and a pleasure not to be ruined by hours of travelling to and from it!
We generally try to depart between 8am and 9am, and exact times will be confirmed in the final timings itinerary which arrives about a week before travel.
We send this close to travel so we can plan for any major traffic issues which sometimes arise due to road works etc.

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.
We break today’s journey to Norfolk with a visit to this beautiful cathedral and market town. Arriving mid-morning, you can spend free time shopping, eating and sightseeing in this lovely historical town.
From here we head to Norwich to stay at the Maids Head Hotel, 4-star and reputed to be the best in the city. We’ve stayed often and each time has been a pleasure.
We leave the hotel and head towards Thursford but as we have a matinee booked, we have time to visit Blickling, a Jacobean stately home built on the remains of a Tudor house, believed to have been the birthplace of Anne Boleyn.
After visiting this lovely place, we head on to Thursford itself, where you can buy lunch if you haven’t already eaten at Blickling.
We have good seats in the raised area, ready to enjoy the show!
After the show we return to the Maids Head for dinner and a relaxed evening.
We journey home with a long stop at Cambridge for free time in the middle of the day to take in the beautiful city, with its colleges and old buildings.
Finally, we arrive back to our start points before the end of the business day.
Please note, all venues will require walking, possibly with steps and steep slopes, which may be slippery and uneven. You should be prepared to dress appropriately for the weather.
