Holiday 2025. A bespoke trip to Blackpool
Please apply early to ensure holiday goes ahead
At long last I have found a holiday that might suit us.
Alfa Travel have won the Travellers Choice award for 2024, which is a great indicator of a good company as it’s the guests who have voted for them.
If we have more than 30 guests the coach will be for our use only and the cost will be cheaper. This holiday will not be subsided by the Bank, I just want to make that clear from the offset. Some Single rooms are available on a first come first served basis. The hotel has 2 lifts!
Blackpool is a popular resort and overlooks the Irish Sea. The promenade is 1.6 mile long and is affectionately called the Golden Mile. It sits in Lancashire the North West. The hotel is opposite the beach. It does not have a swimming pool, but does have a comfortable lounge overlooking the sea. Most nights have entertainment with Bingo beforehand. The holiday includes bed breakfast and a 3 course evening meal served by a waitress. We will be assigned tables for the club. Tea and coffee is provided in the rooms. So get up when you want, but if coming on an excursion, you need to be ready in the lobby 10 mins beforehand.

A Walk with Kevin - Kings Cross - Coal Drops Yard (Regents Canal) Date Thursday 10th April
Cut off date is Thursday 27th March
A hidden treasure brought back to life.
Our spring walk of about 3 miles starts at Kings Cross Station by platform 9/10 where the toilets and Harry Potter shop are.
Over the past decade the Regents Canal has been transformed at Kings Cross and is today an important part of the neighbourhood just as it was in its industrial heyday.
We will take a walk along the Regents Canal and enjoy the acres of parks and gardens. Stroll through the cobbled streets of Coal Drops Yard and discover shops restaurants and bars.
