Hop on board from your local joining point for this enjoyable Short and Superbreak combining the vibrant shopping and festive atmosphere of Manchester with the historic charm of Chester.

This friendly and relaxed short break offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy two very different and equally enjoyable destinations in one weekend. With plenty of time to browse the shops, explore the sights and soak up the atmosphere, its an ideal getaway for a fun day out with friends or family.
Manchester is one of the UKs most exciting cities, offering excellent shopping, lively streets and a welcoming atmosphere. From bustling city centre stores and popular brands to cafés and seasonal markets, there is always something happening. During the festive season, the city becomes especially lively, with colourful stalls, seasonal treats and a cheerful atmosphere that makes shopping even more enjoyable.
Your break also includes time in the historic city of Chester, known for its beautiful architecture, unique shopping streets and relaxed character. The famous Rows, with their distinctive two-level shopping galleries, offer a charming place to browse independent shops and well-known brands alike. With its mix of history, scenery and shopping, Chester provides a wonderful contrast to the energy of Manchester.
With comfortable coach travel and overnight accommodation included, everything is taken care of, making this a simple and enjoyable short break.
You will stay at one of our carefully selected hotels, offering comfortable accommodation and a warm welcome after a day of shopping and sightseeing. With breakfast included, you can relax and recharge before continuing your break.
