Big things are happening in 2026 and we're thrilled to share them with you! Here's a snapshot of new ideas for group travel to the UK.

• Happy birthday to Winnie-the-Pooh! This adorable bear turns 100 this year and we're so excited to add Winnie-the-Pooh tours to our popular Literary Tours offering. Join in the celebrations at the forest which inspired the Hundred Acre Wood and spot famous places from the stories; sample local honey; follow a Winnie-the-Pooh garden trail; see manuscripts, illustrations and other memorabilia and the original bear in London Zoo. Complete your tour with tickets to the latest West End box office smash, Paddington the Musical or a Paddington Bear themed afternoon tea bus tour.
• 160 years since the birth of Beatrix Potter: Discover Hill Top (National Trust), Beatrix's farmhouse retreat and inspiration for her world-famous books. Explore the beautiful Lake District and all her local haunts.
• The Magic Faraway Tree film is being released in cinemas in March 2026, to much anticipation and nostalgic excitement. Visit the places that inspired Enid Blyton, including the Famous Five's Kirrin Island.
• 2026 marks 25 years since the film release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Join in the movie magic with a tour to some of the most famous and recognisable locations from the film, including locations used for Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express train line. Take a selfie on Platform 9 3/4 and enjoy a broomstick-flying lesson at one of the main locations used for Hogwarts Castle.
• See the Bayeux Tapestry on display in London's British Museum for the first time since it was made, nearly 1000 years ago, as 2026 marks the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. The 2027 Year of the Normans, to be held in England and France, commemorates the millennium of William the Conqueror's birth.
• The new Wuthering Heights film starring Margot Robbie is the perfect excuse for a Brontë tour. Explore charming Haworth, walk the moors which inspired the sisters and visit the Brontë Parsonage where they grew up.
• The much-anticipated series 4 of Bridgerton is due to be released in early 2026. Relive Regency high society with a tour to all the most fabulous locations.
• We are developing our Faith tours and also tours tracing historic Pilgrims' Walks. Follow the medieval Pilgrims' Way in the south, the Northern Saints Trails or the ancient St Cuthbert's Way starting at the Scottish Borders.
• Tour our dramatic coastlines and National Parks. From the magnificent Scottish Highlands and beautiful beaches of Northumberland, the stunning Peak District or picture-perfect Lake District, through to the unspoilt coastline of Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia's towering peaks and hidden glens and finally the wild moorlands and river valleys of Dartmoor and the breathtaking Cornish coast with its heady smuggling past.
