Booking couldn’t be easier All you have to do is pay a deposit to secure your booking. You will then be given a date by which you will need to make your final payment. To make it even easier, why not spread the cost of your holiday by making regular smaller payments? All we ask is that the final balance has been paid eight weeks prior to your departure date.

Babbacombe, Devon Coast

Babbacombe is a magical spot on the English Riviera. Great beaches, fantastic attractions, exhilarating watersports and when you are hungry there is the fresh local fish and seafood to tempt your taste buds. A break here at any time of year is the perfect way to relax and unwind. The English Riviera is ripe for exploring with a bracing walk along Babbacombe Downs - the highest cliff-top promenade in England. From these cliffs, you can take in the spectacular coastline of South Devon. You may also spot seabirds, seals and even dolphins from above! For a leisurely day out, a trip on the Babbacombe Cliff Railway takes you to Oddicombe Beach. Here the kids can play in the sea to their heart’s content. For adrenaline junkies, there are plenty of other activities such as coasteering and sailing to take part in too. Experience the charming village of Babbacombe and be enchanted by its stunning views. Boasting a delightful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Torquay, there are plenty of things to do in Babbacombe for all ages.

Your holiday excursions Exeter & Teignmouth Exeter is an ancient city on the River Exe in southwest England. Dating back to the Roman era, the Exeter City Walls surround its centre and Gothic Exeter Cathedral. Exeter Castle, a Norman landmark, overlooks leafy Northernhay and Rougemont Gardens. To their west, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) displays fine art and costumes. The vaulted, medieval Underground Passages snake beneath the city making this a fascinating city to explore at any time of the year. Teignmouth, the quintessential Devon resort town, will lay claim to your affections the minute you arrive. Most of its history is wrapped up with its harbour, with fishing, and with clay from up the valley at Bovey Tracey. Since Georgian and Regency times Teignmouth has been attracting visitors to its wide beaches and amenable climate, and this has shaped the greater part of what Teignmouth is today.

Bideford, Glorious North Devon

Bideford is an attractive town on the west bank of the River Torridge, where the river begins to widen to form the estuary. The old road has a lovely old bridge crossing the Torridge linking the town of Bideford to its neighbouring village East the Water. It’s easy to see why Bideford is so popular as the narrow streets cascade from its historic Pannier Market towards the quayside. Charles Kingsley’s description of Bideford as “The Little White Town, which slopes upward from its broad river tide” paints a picturesque 150 year old image of the town that has not changed much to the present day.

Boscastle, Port Isaac & Padstow Boscastle National Trust harbour nestles in a scenic rocky inlet on the dramatic north coast of Cornwall. To really appreciate the beauty of Boscastle, take a short walk in any one of four directions, all of which allow you a different perspective on this striking harbour and its coastline. You will have ample time to explore! The name Port Isaac is derived from Port Izzyck, and is said to mean ‘corn port’. It has always been a prosperous fishing port, the main catch being pilchards. Boat building was also a thriving industry with two boat yards. During the twentieth century the pilchard shoals declined and Port Isaac’s way of life began to change. Its isolation became the attraction to an ‘upwardly mobile society’ and 70% of the old village has been bought by second home owners. It has also attracted the film and TV industry and become a major tourist stop in north Cornwall yet it remains a charming example of a north Cornish fishing village. Finally today, Padstow is a charming working fishing port surrounded by glorious sandy beaches, at the head of the Camel River. Watching the everyday ebb and flow of harbour life is a perfect way to spend a day. This foodie destination with popular eateries such as Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, is the start and end point for the Camel Cycle Trail and a good base for water sports.

Blackpool

Blackpool is the stuff of old English postcards, known for its fun and humour. There is plenty to do for all ages on a traditional British holiday. From the high-tech adrenaline of its famed Pleasure Beach to it’s three distinctive piers dotted along the golden beach and remember to pick up a stick of Blackpool rock. There is a fabulous range of activities available if you are looking for something different. Blackpool Zoo, The Model Village and the Dungeons to name a few. If you need to do some shopping, Freeport is only a short tram ride away. In the evening, why not pop into Blackpool Tower and enjoy a waltz in the ballroom? Blackpool’s charm is its defiant embrace of the seaside holiday. It offers a mix of thrills, fun, laughs, and relaxation. What more could you want?

Your Holiday Excursions Southport

A half day excursion to one of the most attractive resorts in England, Southport has earned the title of ‘The Floral Capital of England’s North-West’. Explore the shopping arcades of Lord Street, marvel at the largest marine lake in Britain and ‘take the air’ on the sandy beach.

Lake Windermere & Cruise

Blackpool Illuminations Tour

The world-famous Illuminations need little introduction. Miles of festoons along the Promenade attract 3 million visitors every year. An array of tableau characters ready to greet the world. An extraordinary 3D projection show on the front of the Blackpool Tower. No wonder it’s known as the greatest free light show on Earth! We’ll join the coach on one evening and tour the Golden Mile for a bird’s eye view.

Windermere, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, is the largest natural lake in England, and is fed by numerous rivers. The Romans built their fort of GALAVA at its northern end (Waterhead) and it has always been an important waterway for movement of heavy materials. We will visit and travel through Bowness-on-Windermere – Lakeland’s most popular holiday resort – and an excellent centre for boating activities, with over 10,000 boats registered. Until March 2005 Windermere was the only lake without a speed limit, but a 10 mph limit has now been imposed. Starting from Haverthwaite, enjoy a 90 minute circular cruise around the south of Lake Windermere with fantastic views across the wooded shoreline and distant Lakeland fells.

Liverpool

Full of history, culture and friendly people, Liverpool is the ideal destination to discover and enjoy. A World Heritage site with a wonderful collection of museums, galleries, shopping and dining, there really is something for everyone in this fantastic city. The coach will take you to the historic Albert Dock complex with a great range of visitor attractions including the iconic ‘Beatles Story’. You can also take a ferry across the Mersey or visit the historic city centre. Liverpool is there for you to enjoy as you want it.

Eastbourne, Brighton & the South Coast

rn ©Visit Eastbou

The sea breeze swishing through your hair, the sensation of wet sand between your toes and the smell of vinegary chips lingering in your nostrils: everyone has vivid memories of their childhood seaside holidays. Bumble about on creaky Victorian piers, crowned with roller coasters, have a chin-wag with a local artist in their seaside studio or lace up your hiking boots for a cliff-top stroll in search of puffins and gannets. Relish that nostalgic feeling again? The traditional Victorian holiday resort of Eastbourne is one of our best-loved destinations. Eastbourne has a charm unrivalled on the south coast, with dazzling floral displays, magnificent Carpet Gardens, a delightful Victorian pier and a famous bandstand. The resort boasts a fantastic beach, with eight miles of coastline sheltered by the South Downs, itself designated ‘An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The elegant seafront invites a leisurely stroll, and the resort, renowned as one of the finest ‘show towns’ of the south.

Your Holiday Excursions Hastings & Rye

To the east of Eastbourne, we find Hastings, a seaside resort and fishing port. he tall, wooden huts used for drying the fishing nets still remain. It’s better known for the battle of Hastings in 1066. However, the most famous battle in England’s history actually took place 7 miles further north, where the small town of Battle lies. West of the old town is the beach, and beyond that you’ll find lots of Georgian and Victorian buildings. Hastings also boasts a lively arts scene. The medieval and walled town and port of Rye is a little further along the coast, with twisting cobbled streets and lanes and some great old buildings, many of them timber framed. St Mary’s church has one of the oldest functioning church turret clocks in the country. You can see it up close by climbing the tower which also offers splendid views of Rye Bay.

Brighton & Lewes

Head along the coast road, through the towns of Seaford and Rottingdean, to the resort of Brighton. Also known as ‘Doctor Brighton’ and ‘London by the Sea’, the unique blend of outrageous architecture and quaint streets has made Brighton England’s most fashionable resort for over 200 years. Wander ‘The Lanes’, the oldest quarter, lined with 17th century fishermen’s cottages. We will also visit nearby Lewes, nestled in the beautiful South Downs.

Your holiday excursions Bruges Bruges, once a flourishing trading centre, with its wealthy merchants’ homes built lovingly and to last. Through time, the city slumbered as a forgotten backwater, but its rich heritage and picturepostcard beauty could not remain hidden forever and inevitably Bruges was rediscovered as an unspoilt treasure. Visitors now flock to explore the cobbled streets and old guild houses in the Market Place, but it is the canals, with their ancient humped bridges, that create its unique character and which earned it the title of the ‘Venice of the North’.

Godshill is the quintessential English Village, and boasts some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight. With its delightful medieval church, charming thatched-roofed cottages and a winding main street lined with traditional tearooms, Godshill is as picturesque as it is popular. By contrast, Shanklin really is the most charming of traditional seaside resorts with its glorious long wide sandy beach set against a backdrop of dramatic sandstone cliffs. It’s “old town” features thatched roofs and atmospheric bars & tearooms and the “Chine” takes you on a journey down to the sea. Sandown is a busy resort, flatter than Shanklin with a fine beach and all kinds of seaside resort attractions to keep you entertained.

Life slows down in South East Cornwall, but not to the point where you won’t find things to do. Nestled in the crook of a steep-sided valley, the twin towns of East and West Looe stand on either side of a broad river estuary. There’s been a settlement here since the days of the Domesday Book. The town thrived as a medieval port before reinventing itself as a holiday resort for well-to-do Victorians. For children, a safe sandy beach with rock pools is all they need. Hours of free fun and then there’s always crabbing from the quayside. Chip shops, souvenir sellers, and sticks of rock still very much rule the roost here. So if you’re looking for a fabulous hotel in a classic bucket-and-spade seaside town, you’ve definitely found it with this holiday to Looe.

Marvellous Morecambe, The Lake District & Skipton

Morecambe is situated on the North Lancashire coast at the gateway to the Lake District. The resort boasts an expansive five mile promenade which looks out across the majestic sweep of Morecambe Bay. Stroll along during the evening and take in stunning sunsets and star reflecting waters. In the day, enjoy the extensive use of public art along the seafront; view the bronzed statue of Eric Morecambe, the town’s best-loved export and the many bird sculptures created by the Tern Project. In town, enjoy excellent shopping and the traditional Lancashire welcome and hospitality extended to all visitors. Explore the surroundings and sample the local cuisine and traditions, including the area’s famous thirst quencher, Nettle Beer, as well as mouth-watering potted shrimp and some of the best fish and chips in the country.

Your holiday excursions Windermere, Grasmere & Keswick Windermere, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, is the largest natural lake in England, and is fed by numerous rivers. The Romans built their fort of GALAVA at its northern end (Waterhead), and it has always been an important waterway for movement of heavy materials. We will visit and travel through Bowness-on-Windermere – Lakeland’s most popular holiday resort – and an excellent centre for boating activities, with over 10,000 boats registered. Until March 2005 Windermere was the only lake without a speed limit, but a 10 mph limit has now been imposed. We then travel on north to Grasmere, probably Cumbria’s most popular village, thanks to William Wordsworth (1770-1850) spending much of his life there. Today Grasmere is totally given over to the tourist industry, with plenty of gift shops, and places to eat and stay. Most of the buildings date from the 19th or early 20th Century, though the farms around Grasmere are much older. The Church dates from the 13th Century and it is only a short walk to the lake, which provides superb views. From Grasmere we travel on to Keswick, situated between the huge bulk of Skiddaw and the gentle beauty of Derwentwater, and now a major centre for tourism

in the north lakes. This pretty market town offers a wide range of attractions for visitors, from shops and restaurants to museums with a difference, and boating trips around Lake Derwentwater. In 1276 Edward I granted the town its market charter, and the Saturday market continues to this day.

Bury and East Lancashire Steam Historically, Bury was a mill town which centred on textile production and it was in fact the Brooksbottom Mill in Summerseat which launched Bury’s role in the cotton industry. Industry increased for the area when the town was connected to the national canal system by the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal in the early nineteenth century. This is a fascinating place, with lovely people and an award winning market. We also have tickets for the fabulous East Lancashire Railway. The line runs from Bury for 12 miles through scenic Lancastrian landscapes - beautiful rural panoramas and postcard pretty villages to bustling Victorian towns and cotton mill dotted horizons. With a storied history stretching back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the East Lancashire Railway is the steam powered heart of the Irwell Valley, pumping goods and people around the region for nearly 200 years!

Lancaster Canal Cruise and Oswaldtwistle Mills We take a calming cruise along the Lancaster Canal and over the splendid Lune Aqueduct. From atop the aqueduct you can see for miles around, the perfect place to take in the wonderful scenery and stunning views of Lancaster's skyline.

Lining the main Fore Street you will find many small, independent shops selling unusual gifts, artwork, clothing and books. If you’re a foodie then Fowey is home to many bistros, cafes and restaurants where you’ll find menus offering the best in local produce – Fowey River mussels are a highlight. Narrow streets and steep valley sides lead down to the centre of the old Mevagissey where the distinctive twin harbour provides a safe haven for the many fishing boats that land their daily catch of skate, lobster, plaice and sole. In typical picture postcard style, pubs, cafes, galleries and shops cluster around the harbour walls and line the pretty streets. Named after two Irish saints, St Meva and St Issey, the village dates back to at least 1313 and during the 1800s Mevagissey prospered on the back of the abundant source of pilchards out to sea.

Kipling's Retreat & Hastings

This lovely holiday visits the historic maritime town of Hastings in combination with Rudyard Kipling’s favourite home and a visit to the historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells – with all of our visits set within the beautiful rolling countryside of East Sussex and Kent, quite rightly referred to as The Garden of England.

Your holiday excursions (see price panel for those included) Hastings This cosmopolitan town is home to the largest beach-launched fishing fleet in Europe, the remains of the first castle in England to be built by William the Conqueror, a preserved Old Town and a strong local arts community. Hastings is really three towns in one joined by a level promenade; the Old Town to the east, the bustling contemporary shopping Town Centre in the middle and St Leonards to the west featuring the classical elegance of James Burton’s architecture and the fashionable Norman Road – recently named as the new ‘Portobello Road-on sea’ by The Times` and offering a great collection of antique shops and vintage galleries.

Around the time of the Norman Conquest, Hastings was a thriving fishing and trading centre and the original port lies deep below today’s town centre. In 1287 the Great Storm hit the southern coast of England and caused the cliff and half its castle to fall into the sea, ruining its harbour. The town then moved eastward. Hastings is a Cinque Port, and up until the 16th century, with other coastal towns provided the ships and men who guarded king and country from frequent and vicious attacks in return for special privileges. This unique confederation of South East England Channel ports was the original force behind England’s maritime power.

Bateman’s House – A National Trust Property 'That's She! The Only She! Make an honest woman of her - quick!' was how Rudyard Kipling and his wife, Carrie, felt the first time they saw Bateman's. Surrounded by the wooded landscape of the Sussex Weald, this 17th-century house, with its mullioned windows and oak beams, provided a much needed sanctuary to this world-famous writer.

The rooms, described by him as 'untouched and unfaked', remain much as he left them, with oriental rugs and artefacts reflecting his strong association with the East. Kim was his first major piece of writing that he wrote from his study at Bateman's which links him and his fond childhood memories to India with real clarity and devotion, truly a master piece of descriptive writing. Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907. Bateman's is very much a family home that feels as though the Kiplings have just gone out for the day. Royal Tunbridge Wells Tunbridge Wells offers Kentish town and country at its best. The historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells has welcomed visitors for over 400 years. Browse among the chic independent shops of the colonnaded Pantiles and the High Street, with buzzy cafes bars, music and one-of-a-kind shops or enjoy a bite to eat or drink in one of the many fashionable bars or restaurants dotted throughout the town.

3* Royal Victoria Hotel, Hastings The Royal Victoria Hotel is situated on the seafront in the heart of St Leonards and offers affordable luxury in 50 elegant bedrooms, many of which have stunning sea views. The hotel was built in 1828 by architect James Burton and is filled with charming period features, antique furnishings and a breathtaking Grade II listed marble staircase with 22ft mirror, which leads to the welcoming Piano Lounge and Bar.

Situated south of Hampshire, Hayling Island has always appealed to holidaymakers and families. It retains all the attractions of a traditional seaside resort.

The beaches are greatly enjoyed by the bucket and spade brigade as well as walkers and nature lovers.

Your holiday excursions Chichester One of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK, Chichester has played a key role in the affairs of Sussex since at least Roman times. Today, it is the prosperous administrative capital of West Sussex and a great place for shopping, but it’s hard to avoid Chichester’s links to its illustrious past. The city centre’s broad streets are packed with listed buildings, headed by the towering presence of Chichester Cathedral, now home to a family of peregrine falcons who can be heard as they swoop over the city at dusk. The pedestrianised city centre is neatly enclosed within the ancient city walls and this helps to make Chichester compact and pleasant to explore on foot.

Churchill’s Wartime Retreats

Join us on this fascinating tour to Dover Castle & Chartwell House, both of which became pivotal locations for Sir Winston Churchill as he led Britain’s fight against Nazism in the Second World War. In addition enjoy time exploring one of Britain’s largest shopping centre’s, Bluewater at Dartford.

Your holiday excursions Dover Castle & Secret Wartime Tunnels The most iconic of all English fortresses commanding the gateway to the realm for nine centuries. Climb the Great Tower, meet the characters and immerse yourself in vivid medieval interiors. Then delve deep within Dover’s White Cliffs to witness the drama in the Secret Wartime Tunnels. Roam through centuries of history at Dover Castle, from the Romans to the Cold War, in an action-packed day out. In May 1940 the greatest rescue of all time took place, masterminded right here deep within Dover’s secret wartime tunnels. See, hear and feel the danger as the events and people from the Dunkirk evacuation are made real. Journey through the tunnels deep beneath the castle as special effects, projections and real film footage bring this dramatic rescue operation to life. For those looking to explore the castle’s broader history, why not check out the Great Tower, a medieval palace like no other, the oldest lighthouse in the country which dates back to Roman times or the medieval wartime tunnels, built to resist siege nearly 800 years before the tunnels used for the Dunkirk rescue!

Chartwell House & Gardens Chartwell was the much-loved Churchill family home from 1922 and the place from which Sir Winston drew inspiration until the end of his life and is now a National Trust property. The rooms remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the career and wide-ranging interests of a great statesman, writer, painter and family man.

The Dambusters 75th Anniversary

4 Days

from £229

As Britain remembers the 75th Anniversary of the Dambusters, Leisuretime offers you the chance to visit RAF Scampton, home to the Dambusters Squadron itself along with Derwent Dam in the Peak District, which acted as the perfect training ground for this famous mission.

Your holiday excursions RAF Scampton No. 617 Squadron was formed at Scampton during World War 2 for the specific task of attacking Ruhr dams with the newly invented Barnes Wallis’s rotating mine – or bouncing bomb as it was more commonly referred to. The raid, carried out on the night of May 16/17, 1943, brought No. 617’s leader, the legendary Wing Commander Guy Gibson, the station’s third Victoria Cross and was a key point in that phase of the war. Still a fully functioning RAF base, Scampton now also houses The Dambuster Heritage Centre which is housed in one of the original WW2 hangers and which we will visit on this tour.

“Victoria’s” Highlands: Castles, Whisky & Steam

Get back to nature with this tour showcasing some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery that Scotland has to offer. Based in Pitlochry, just south of The Cairgorms National Park you will experience this National Park and the beautiful Spey Valley, we also visit Blair Castle and the Royal Yacht Britannia, ride on the Strathspey Railway and enjoy ‘a wee dram’ at the Aberfeldy Distillery. On the way, you will call in at Gretna Green, famous for its reputation for those looking to elope for generations! Pitlochry is a bustling tourist town and has been welcoming visitors for over 170 years. The name comes from the Gaelic “Pit Cloich Aire”, meaning “place of the Sentinel Stone” and it was originally a Pictish settlement. The town is justifiably proud of its Victorian heritage and tourism traditions, and offers visitors much to enjoy. It is the ideal holiday destination for those who love Scotland’s hills and heritage, while its central position and easy accessibility by road, rail and bus, make it a perfect touring base for visiting Scotland’s other delights..

Your holiday excursions Aberfeldy & Whisky Tour A fabulous day out with plenty to do and see. We first make for Aberfeldy. Lying on the shores of Scotland’s longest river, the River Tay, Aberfeldy has spectacular views of the Falls of Moness and is home to the Aberfeldy Distillery. As it would be rude not to stop whilst we are passing, we thought we’d take a Distillery Tour with a tasting in the whisky lounge. Loch Tummel & Blair Castle – Queen Victoria’s favourite! After our visit to Aberfeldy, we journey on to discover Loch Tummel and Blair Atholl, where we’ll pay a visit to Blair Castle (you may have seen it recently on ‘Victoria’ (Episode 7)). Queen Victoria visited Blair Castle many times over her reign and clearly loved being in Scotland. The Castle still houses items of furniture and other personal belongings of Victoria which were here during her time staying in Blair Atholl. We finish the outing on a royal note with a stop at ‘Queens View’ at the head of Loch Tummel, the classic and much photographed viewpoint where Queen Victoria picnicked in 1866.

Aviemore & A Ride on The Strathspey Steam Railway We travel to Aviemore for a ride on the Strathspey Railway, a heritage steam railway that runs for 10 miles across heather-covered moorland with the Cairngorm Mountains behind. We depart Pitlochry this morning and head for the hills. We board the train at Aviemore Station, and travel on to Boat of Garten, also known as the ‘Osprey Village’ before heading on to Broomhill Station, or ‘Glenbogle’ as fans of the popular BBC series Monarch of the Glen will know it! As we travel over moorland, forest and past great sweeps of the River Spey, the Cairngorm Mountains provide a backdrop to the scene which, together with the hot oil, smoke and steam form the ingredients of a grand day out.

Waterford & the Sunny South East

£249

Along the coast of Ireland’s Ancient East, County Waterford showcases miles of stunning coastline, Ireland’s oldest city, a UNESCO Global Geopark and monastic marvels by the ocean. In 1171, King Henry II came sailing up the River Suir seeking out the Norman lord Strongbow in Waterford. While ploughing through the river, Henry passed the rugged Hook Peninsula to his right, and the small village of Crook to his left, nestled against the coast. As he went between the two, the king vowed to reach Waterford “by hook or by crook”. Waterford City is a hotbed of history and heritage. Although Waterford is one of Ireland’s oldest cities, it boasts ultra-modern shopping centres, pedestrianised walkways, lively bars and gourmet restaurants. It is also home to the world-famous Waterford Crystal and few visitors leave without purchasing at least one of the exquisite pieces.

Ostend, Bruges & Ypres incorporating Memories of the Fallen in the Great War

Ostend is a cosmopolitan city with a harbour and yacht-basin. Visitors will be amazed by all there is to see and do. All year round, many activities take place. At the ‘City by the Sea’, over five and a half miles of sandy beaches invite you to some delightful sunbathing and a refreshing dip in the North Sea. After frolicking in the sun, take a walk down the promenade where you will find many shops, bars, and restaurants. One of Ostend’s main, and maybe lesser known, trump cards is the gastronomy. What better place to sample the sea’s delicacies than at the seaside?

Your holiday excursions Bruges Bruges, once a flourishing trading centre, with its wealthy merchants homes built lovingly and to last. Through time, the city slumbered as a forgotten backwater, but its rich heritage and picture-postcard beauty could not remain hidden forever and inevitably Bruges was rediscovered as an unspoilt treasure. Visitors now flock to explore the cobbled streets and old guild houses in the Market Place, but it is the canals, with their ancient humped bridges, that create its unique character and which earned it the title of the ‘Venice of the North’. Small enough to explore by foot, horse-drawn carriage or canal boat, there is much to see - museums and art flourish, good restaurants abound and pretty shops sell lace, Flemish tapestry, specialty beers and chocolates…wonderful!

Ypres Ypres is now most famous for its’ World War One heritage and is surrounded by the Ypres Salient battlefields, where many cemeteries, memorials and war museums honour the battles that unfolded in this area during World War I. After being entirely destroyed in the war, many important buildings were carefully reconstructed, including Gothic-style SintMaartenskathedraal (St. Martin’s Cathedral) and its soaring spire. Now its museums, memorials and daily Last Post ceremony make Ypres a popular and moving destination for visitors from all nations. We will visit in the afternoon and evening to allow you to enjoy dinner in the town before sharing the emotion of the Last Post Ceremony at 8pm.

The Eastbourne Airbourne Airshow 2018 celebrates 26 years of aviation excellence. Eastbourne has a very long seafront.

Look out for the Martello Tower (called the ‘Wish Tower’) which is on the edge of the Lawns. Beachy Head is a particularly popular viewing point, especially around the Battle of Britain Memorial opposite the Countryside Centre and pub, from where you can look down upon the aircraft that arrive or depart this way with the sea, possibly the lighthouse, as a backdrop.

Luggage You must keep to one medium-sized piece of luggage, weighing no more than 18kgs. We reserve the right to refuse to carry items of luggage that weigh more than this. You may also take on board the coach one item of hand luggage. Every effort will be made to look after your luggage; however, it is carried at entirely your own risk. As your luggage is likely to be loaded and offloaded from your coach it is recommended that your luggage is waterproof in the event of inclement weather.

Inclusive Bar Breaks Packages including any type of bar promotion (including: 99p/2-For-1/Free Bar/ All Inclusive etc.) are subject to the laws of the local area and the Rules of the House. You may be required to wear a wrist band for identification purposes or use vouchers. Drinks are usually single measures, local brands, on selected drinks only and have time limits. Management reserve the right to refuse service without reason. You sign up to the Rules of the House (available on request) when you make your booking with us and we always ask that you drink responsibly

Wheelchairs, Electric Scooters & Mobility Aids When you travel with us we will take your wheelchair with you or one mobility item in addition to your normal luggage allowance. Your mobility aid cannot weigh more than 15kgs and must be collapsible. We ask that you pre-book these with us to ensure we have the capacity to accommodate them. We recommend your mobility items are fully insured as we don’t accept responsibility or liability for loss or damage to any of your mobility items.

TripAdvisor Ratings We may make reference in the brochure or on our advertising to TripAdvisor ratings. These are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Please note, we take no responsibility for these ratings, they are public and based on user feedback on the TripAdvisor website and we provide the information as is. These are not equal or equivalent to any other rating system and we make no guarantees in relation to these ratings.

If you are taking an electric scooter, it is essential that you let our customer service team know in advance as there is a limit on the number that we can carry. For health and safety reasons, we cannot guarantee that you can use your electric scooter inside the premises, however, there will usually be a place for you to store and charge them if required. We cannot guarantee that your mobility item will give you unaided access to any premises or places that we visit. Please check before booking.

Coach Transport

Some tours and/or excursions may not be suitable for users of wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility aids or for those with walking difficulties. If in doubt, please check with our customer service team at the time of booking. We regret that we are unable to carry wheelchairs weighing more than 15kgs due to health and safety reasons. We also regret that for the same reasons, your driver will be unable to assist you with your mobility item. Special Assistance If any of your party is disabled, less mobile, visually impaired or undergoing medical treatment, you should contact our customer service team on 029 2090 1010 so we can check whether the holiday is suitable for you. Passports & ID For travel outside the UK, you will need to bring a valid passport with you. Holders of non-UK passports should always check with their embassy, high commission or consulate before booking. If you are travelling within the UK and Northern Ireland, you will need to carry a form of photo ID with you in order to board the coach. Visit www.ips.gov.uk for the latest passport information & www.fco.gov.uk/travel for details on travel restrictions and visas.

Resort and Accommodation Single Rooms We endeavour to contract a number of single bedrooms. These rooms are usually in high demand and we cannot guarantee their availability. A single supplement may be payable for such rooms and these rooms may be smaller than multioccupancy rooms. Beds Some twin and double rooms can accommodate 3rd (and sometimes 4th) beds. They are often camp or folding beds. They may not be suitable for adults. Please check at the time of booking for further details. Some hotels (particularly on the continent) use “Austrian twins” which are single mattresses/bedding on a double base. Hotel Facilities Our brochure descriptions are as accurate as possible. Amenities we describe are normally available for the enjoyment of our guests but occasionally some facilities (swimming pools, lifts, gyms and so on) may be subject to closure for maintenance or cleaning and we cannot guarantee that they will always be available. Entertainment provided by hotels is often subject to demand and may require minimal numbers. Some hotels are in historic buildings and are not purpose built so there may be some stairs or steps not served by a lift.

Coach Provision & Facilities We subcontract many of our services to third party providers. They will conform to our strict safety and service standards. Occasionally for operational reasons and to continue with your holiday without delay transport may not have certain facilities (e.g. toilets). In this event, we will endeavour to make regular comfort stops. Coach Seats You may request seats on a coach and we will always do our best to accommodate these (an additional charge is made for Prime Seats). We cannot accept bookings that are made on the condition of being sat in specific seats. We reserve the right to change your seats for operational reasons if required. These changes are rare and will not constitute a ‘major’ change to your booking. Prime Seats On most tours, we are able to offer the front row of the coach to book for a small fee for the duration of your tour. These seats are booked on a first come, first served basis and may be withdrawn or changed at any time for operational requirements. Pick-up Points We operate an extensive number of pick-up points based on historical customer demand and whilst trying to maintain the most convenient and speedy start to your holiday. We are not normally able to add additional pick up points, however, we will be happy to help advise how to join our service at the nearest pick-up point. Transfer Services Any advertised transfer service does not form part of your holiday contract with us. The contract arrangements are entirely between you and the service provider. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are at your holiday joining point on time for departure. We will not be held responsible for delays for any part of your journey as a result of your late arrival. Best Value Guarantee We guarantee that you will not be able to buy any holiday featured in this brochure at a lower price from any other holiday operator based in South Wales. In the unlikely event that you are able to secure space at a lower price from a competitor, WE PROMISE TO MATCH THE PRICE on any Leisuretime operated holiday. This guarantee applies to holidays departing from the same point to the same hotel, on the same date and with identical content to that featured in this brochure. In order for Leisuretime to match the price you will need to advise us of your price match claim no later than 7 days after booking your Leisuretime holiday. We will require a copy of the offer made by the other operator which must clearly state the following: confirmation of availability, departure date, duration, price, hotel and exact inclusions. Should this competing offer reflect a price saving then Leisuretime will match the price.

We cannot guarantee hoteliers’ compliance with dietary requirements, or indeed with any type of special request. Requests do not form part of your contract with us.

These services will be provided either directly by us or through independent suppliers contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the holiday you book with us is provided to a reasonable standard & as was advertised by us (or as changed & accepted by you). If any part of your holiday is not provided as described, we will pay you appropriate compensation unless this is due to reasons beyond our control (see `Important note – events beyond our control’). We have taken all reasonable care to make sure that all the services which make up the holidays advertised by us are provided by efficient & reputable businesses. These businesses should follow the local & national laws & regulations of the country where they are provided. However, overseas safety standards are generally lower than in the UK, for example, few hotels yet meet EC fire safety recommendations even in Europe. Please remember that some amenities (e.g. lifts, swimming pools etc.) require cleaning and servicing and may therefore not be available at all times. Some services may be affected by weather conditions and their availability will be entirely at the discretion of the provider of the services. Entertainment provided by the hotels is frequently subject to demand and its nature and/or frequency may be varied if there is lack of demand. 6. Personal injury 1 This section covers injury, illness or death while you are using the holiday services that we have arranged for you. We have no direct control over the way our suppliers provide their services but everyone employed or contracted by us or by our suppliers is expected to carry out their duties in accordance with accepted standards of behaviour. If they do not carry out their duties in accordance with accepted standards of behaviour (or at all) & that fault results in your injury, illness or death, we may make a payment to you. We will not make any payment if your injury, illness or death was caused by an event or circumstances which the person who caused it could not have predicted or avoided even if they had taken all necessary & due care. We will not make any payment if your illness, injury or death was your own fault. If we do make a payment, it will be similar to the one you would receive under English & Welsh law in an English or Welsh court. Note: We will make such payments for injury, illness or death on the basis that you are expected to accept that: A.

You must tell us & the supplier involved in your injury or illness while you are in the resort (see section 13). You should also write to our After Travel Services about your claim within 7 days of coming home from your holiday to allow us to investigate it properly & cooperate with us so as to enable us to carry out such investigation. Please include a letter about your injury or illness from your doctor.

You should transfer to us any rights you have against the supplier or any other person.

You should co-operate fully with us if we or our insurers want to enforce those rights.

Any payments we make may be limited in accordance with international conventions. We ask you to transfer your rights to us so that we can claim back from suppliers any payments we make to you, plus any legal or other costs.

2. The Price You Pay All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. Prices include a cost for fuel that was estimated at the date of this publication. We reserve the right to add a fuel supplement to holiday prices should this increase after the date of this publication. We reserve the right to increase the price of your holiday after you have booked but no later than 30 days before the departure date stipulated & will forward an Amendment Invoice reflecting any changes made. After a Confirmation Invoice has been sent to you, any increase in your holiday price will be the result of changes in our costs of supplying your holiday resulting from transportation charges, (fuel & other transport charges which form part of our contract with the transport provider), currency fluctuations & government action. An administration charge & any relevant travel agent’s commission is included within these amounts. If the increase would be 2% or less of the holiday price shown on your Confirmation Invoice (excluding insurance premiums & any amendment charges), we will absorb the changes in our costs described above & will only pass on any increase above that level. If the increase is more than 10% of the holiday price (calculated as above), then: A.

You may cancel your holiday booking within 14 days of the Amendment Invoice date & receive a refund of all monies paid to us except any amendment charges; we will only consider an appropriate refund of insurance premium paid if you can show us that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy

The increase will be considered a Major Change as described in section 4 below &, unless you choose to cancel under paragraph 1 above, you will be entitled to the alternatives set out in section 4 for those circumstances, but in either case, you will receive compensation in accordance with section 4.The price quoted on the last Amendment Invoice issued is guaranteed, unless you change your holiday booking. Any increases in our costs which occur after the last Amendment Invoice has been sent will be borne by us. Should you instruct your credit/debit card company to ‘chargeback’ any payment(s) properly due from you in respect of your booking, we will charge you an administrative fee of £30 per incident & associated costs. We further reserve the right to cancel your booking &/ or take legal action against you for all outstanding payment(s).

All prices quoted are in pounds sterling and must be paid in this currency.

Please note: In the event of any conflict between any special offers on our website and the price quoted by our reservations departments the price quoted by our reservations department will prevail.

If you or someone on your holiday booking is injured, falls ill or dies while taking part in an activity which is not part of the holiday, or you need to incur unpredictable extra expenses for which we are not liable because the event is beyond our control (see `Important note – events beyond our control’) we will, where appropriate & subject to our discretion, try to help if we can but you must pay all costs incurred. 8. Your Financial Protection The Package Travel, Package Holidays & Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from us & for your repatriation in the event of our insolvency. Leisure Time (Wales) Limited is a member of ABTA (ABTA number Y6145). ABTA will financially protect your holiday by ensuring you receive a refund or, if already abroad, you are returned to the point where your contracted arrangements with us commenced in the event that your holiday is not provided as a result of our insolvency. Please go to www.abta.com for a copy of the guide to ABTA’s scheme of Financial Protection. ABTA and ABTA members help holidaymakers to get the most from their travel and assist them when things do not go according to plan. • • •

3. If we cancel your booking

9. What happens to holiday complaints?

We aim to provide your holiday as booked. But if for example, there are not enough people booked on your holiday, we may cancel it. We reserve the right to cancel your holiday in any circumstances but if we cancel your holiday you can either have a refund or accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or closely similar standard & price (if one is available). This shall be the limit of our responsibility to you. Should you choose to accept an alternative holiday, the terms & conditions of your holiday will not change & these conditions will still apply to your booking. We will not cancel your holiday less than 7 days before you go unless this is the result of one of the events in the ‘Important note – events beyond our control’. If we do cancel your holiday within 7 days before you go, we will pay you compensation of £10 per person, (unless we cancel your holiday because you do not pay us the balance of the holiday price or because of one of the events listed in the ‘Important note – events beyond our control’).

We can usually sort out any complaints you may have whilst you are on holiday. If you have a complaint about your arrangements whilst away, you must immediately notify the supplier of the service in question locally. You should report any hotel complaint to the hotel management and allow them the opportunity to resolve the matter for you. Complaints regarding your transport or other service arrangements should be reported to the transport provider or supplier concerned as soon as a problem arises. If they are unable to resolve the problem, you should contact us straight away by telephone & we will endeavour to assist. If you are still not satisfied, you must write to our Customer Services department within 7 days of your return from holiday. Please write your holiday reference number on your letter, & include your daytime & evening telephone numbers. If you do not give us the opportunity to resolve any problem locally by reporting it to the supplier, or calling & informing us, then we may not be able to deal positively with any complaint on your return. We will try to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction. If we cannot agree, you can take your complaint to a County Court or another suitable court.

4. If we change your booking details We hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make changes. We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your travel agent know about any important changes when you book. If you have already booked, we will let you know as soon as we can if there is time before your departure. Departure times shown by us are for guidance only & may change. Your Confirmation Invoice will show the latest planned timings, which you should check carefully as soon as you receive it. Major changes to your holiday Occasionally, we have to make major changes to your holiday with us. Major changes are those which significantly alter an essential term of this contract, such as price (if price changes allowed in the contract), the location of resort or quality of the main hotel (not including single overnight hotels). If we tell you about any of these changes after we have confirmed your holiday booking, you may either: • • •

accept the new arrangements offered by us; or accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or closely similar standard & price, if one is available; or cancel your holiday with us & receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Either way, we will pay you compensation, using the Compensation table shown, unless the change is for reasons beyond our control (see the `Important note – events beyond our control’) & we will always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday is of a lower standard & price. Major changes to your holiday for which we will pay compensation, unless the change is for reasons beyond our control (see `Important note - events beyond our

leisuretime.co.uk

Please also see section 24 (ABTA) for more details. 10. Paying for your travel arrangements You will be required to pay a deposit to us for each person when you book unless this is within 8 weeks of departure when the full amount of the booking is payable. The deposit amount will be specified by us or your travel agent when your booking is made. If it is not specified then it will be the amount that we ask you to pay when you book, even if this is 100% of the holiday price. If you pay less than the deposit under a low deposit booking scheme, then this is only part of the deposit referred to in this paragraph. The remaining deposit will be due on cancellation or date specified at the time of booking or on your Confirmation Invoice. Please note that your booking deposit may be increased or there may be a charge payable for some accommodation, holidays or bookings where it is necessary to secure specific facilities with full payment at the time of booking e.g. theatre tickets. Once confirmed, the booking deposit, additional charges paid & insurance premiums will not be refunded in the event of cancellation except in the circumstances specified in Sections 2, 3 or 4 or as otherwise required by law. This is your only commitment to 8 weeks before you go. Usually, within 2 weeks of booking, we will send you a Confirmation Invoice showing how much you owe us. You must pay the amount on the last Invoice issued by us, at least 8 weeks before you go on holiday. If you don’t, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled & to charge you a cancellation charge, in accordance with section 12. If you pay money for your booking to a travel agent appointed by us, they will hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay the money to us. We accept Visa and Mastercard Debit and Credit Cards and Cash. We only accept Online payments by Visa and Mastercard Debit and Credit Cards.

Terms and Conditions 11. If you change your booking

17. In Resort

If you want to change any details of your booking (such as changing to a different holiday or changing a name in your booking) or to cancel an optional extra you have booked, we will do our best to help but please note that more major changes, such as those that would lower the basic price of your holiday will be treated by us as a different holiday. If you would like to change your pickup point, major holiday details or transfer the booking to a different person, you may be subject to an administration fee of £20. If the change means we must send you new documents, we cannot make the change until we have received all your old travel documents, including any tickets. Some types of accommodation (for example single rooms or hotel rooms with reductions for 3 adults) are priced according to the number of people staying there. If your booking changes because someone in your party cancels, we will recalculate your booking cost based on the new number of people going. If fewer people share the accommodation, then the cost for them may go up. This extra cost is not a cancellation charge & is not usually covered by this insurance. If you are prevented from taking the holiday you have booked, you may transfer your booking to another person, provided you meet the following conditions:

Due to the nature of our programme, it is not always practical to visit our guests in their hotel. All guests will be given emergency contact numbers, and departure details will be confirmed on arrival in resort. If you encounter any difficulties during your stay, please contact the hotel reception, and/or your driver in the first instance, and if further assistance is required, simply contact the emergency number provided to resolve any issues.

It is possible that some building work will be taking place at your resort and this is a matter outside of our control. In general, we do not receive advance warning about such work, which can sometimes start quite early in the morning. However, if we are aware of development in or around your accommodation and we think it is likely to cause any inconvenience, we will tell you if there is time before your departure. If we believe that such work is likely to produce serious disruption, we will try to make alternative arrangements.

You must authorise us to make the transfer

The person to whom you transfer your holiday booking must comply with all the terms of the existing booking

All information and prices detailed in this printed material and online are correct at the time of going to print, however, these are subject to change. All prices are to be used as a guideline only.

That person must accept the transfer & our Terms and Conditions (this document)

That person must show us new evidence of their holiday insurance, as your policy cannot be transferred to another person (and the premium cannot be refunded)

You pay amendment fees in accordance with this section. This will be added to the new Invoice issued

You cannot usually transfer a holiday booking within 7 days of departure

You will remain responsible for the payment of any balance on that new Invoice should that person fail to pay it.

Because the details are compiled many months before your holiday takes place, there may sometimes be amendments. For example, an advertised hotel facility may be closed for maintenance, especially in the low season when hotels take the opportunity to undertake maintenance programmes and some facilities may not be in use, also some amenities, for example, outdoor bars, may not be continuously available. In addition, a hotelier may decide that a room type or board basis listed for winter may not be available in summer, and vice versa. If we are aware of any changes and if we regard them as likely to seriously affect your holiday enjoyment, we will advise you at the time of booking. However, should any changes occur after your booking is made, we shall inform you of this in writing as quickly as possible. Please note that outdoor pursuits like water sports can be affected by weather and occasionally water and electricity supplies are restricted by the local authorities–sometimes without notice. The images used are aimed at giving an accurate impression of the type of accommodation and facilities available. Obviously, not all rooms are identical to those shown. All outdoor facilities, restaurants and bars are available for weather and/ or maintenance permitting. Please note that some facilities (e.g. spa treatments, car parking, internet, Wi-Fi, safe, minibar, amongst others) may be subject to a charge, which must be paid locally. A full list of our room/meal supplements and adult/child reductions are available, please contact our reservations team or visit our website.

If we know about building work or other noise likely to affect your holiday arrangements, we aim to tell you before you leave.

The information on the /or any advertising or promotional materials is checked and is known to be correct on the date advertised. However, as this can be many months before you take your holiday and despite careful checks, errors or changes may occur after the date of publication. If we are made aware of such errors, we will, of course, endeavour to inform you of them at the time of booking.

To ensure you have up to date information please check with your travel agent, our in-house reservations team or our website at www.leisuretime.co.uk

We cannot be held responsible for any photographic inaccuracies and advise customers that a wide number of photographs are of generic images from stock library sources. These have been included for design purposes only.

18. Content Accuracy

12. If you cancel your booking If you want to cancel your booking or part of it, you or your travel agent must advise us. Once we receive your notice of cancellation you should expect to receive a Cancellation Invoice within 14 days. If you do not, then please contact us. To cover the cost of processing your cancellation & to compensate us for the risk that we may not be able to resell your travel arrangements, we make a cancellation charge on the scale shown below. The person who made the booking is responsible for paying this charge. The size of the charge depends on when we receive your notification. Please note that for certain travel arrangements e.g. theatre/show holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown. In certain cases, a 100% cancellation fee applies as soon as the booking is made. Charges are based on how many days before your booked departure (not including the day of departure) we receive your cancellation notice. • • • • • •

43+ days - deposit only 42 to 29 days - 30% (or deposit, whichever is greater) 28 to 15 days - 50% (or deposit, whichever is greater) 14 to 5 days - 70% less than 5 days - 100% Departure date or later (including voluntary termination whilst on holiday) - 100%

Please check your insurance policy to see if you are covered by the cancellation charge. 13. Conduct while travelling You are responsible for ensuring that you are at the correct departure point at the correct time and we are not liable for any loss or expense suffered by passengers because of their late arrival at any departure point. Coach excursions are included in the price of many holidays and refunds cannot be made for passengers not wishing to go on these excursions. Final departure times and points will be as stated on your final travel tickets and included excursion times will be posted on the hotel notice board or as notified by the coach driver. We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you if your behaviour is disruptive or affects other travellers or is threatening or abusive towards our staff or suppliers staff, on the telephone, in writing or in person. If the driver of your coach or any of our staff reasonably believes that you could be disruptive, that you are suffering from a contagious disease, are intoxicated, under the influence of drugs or otherwise not fit to travel, they can also refuse to let you proceed with your travel arrangements or restrict your movements. If you are disruptive & this means you are not allowed to travel we will treat your booking as cancelled by you from that moment, & you will have to pay full cancellation charges (see section 12). If this occurs overseas then you will become responsible for your own return home & any other members of your group who cannot or will not travel without you. If you are refused carriage because of your disruptive behaviour, or you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we may pass on your details to other tour operators for their information. This, in turn, may make it difficult for you to book other holidays. In any of these circumstances, no refunds or compensation will be paid to you & we may make a claim against you for any costs & expenses incurred as a result of your behaviour e.g. the cost of diverting a coach, aircraft or ship to remove you. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated. 14. Your accommodation A.

Any accommodation we arrange for you must only be used by those people named on your Confirmation Invoice (or on latest Amendment Invoice issued). You are not allowed to share the accommodation or let anyone else stay there. You are responsible for the cost of any damage caused to your accommodation or its contents during your stay. These charges must be met by you & may have to be paid locally. Some hotels may make a small additional charge for porterage and tea or coffee served after meals. Gratuities to the hotel staff and drivers/couriers are discretionary. Hotel entertainment and themes: A wide variety of entertainment is supplied by the hotels from dancing to pianists to bingo. We have tried to indicate those holidays in which it is provided. Please note, however, that the style and frequency of entertainment are always at the management’s discretion. Similarly, a hotel may be operating a theme (such as Turkey & Tinsel, Country & Western, Olde Time...) which we have not featured in our package. We will endeavour to inform you of such entertainment. However, providing Leisuretime fulfils the package originally sold, we do not consider the imposition of themes to be detrimental to the holiday and will not consider compensation claims.

The conditions of your ticket

When you travel by sea, your journey may be subject to certain international conventions such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention or Athens Convention. You agree that the transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for you, we rely on the terms & conditions contained within these international conventions & those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. You acknowledge that all of these terms & conditions form part of your contract with us as well as with the transport company.

15. Passports, Visas, Travel Information It is your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. You must check requirements for your own specific needs with the relevant embassies and/or consulates as applicable. For further information, contact the Passport Office on 0300 222 0000. The name on the passport must match the name on the travel documentation, otherwise, you may not be able to travel & insurances may be invalid. If you need to change a name, you must tell us immediately so we can issue the documentation (an amendment fee may be applicable). Travel Information – whatever your reason for travelling abroad, you are sure to want a trouble-free trip. With this in mind, we are working with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to help British nationals stay safe abroad. The FCO ‘Know Before You Go’ website offers straightforward travel advice, top tips and up-to-date country information to help you plan your holiday. For the latest travel advice from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office including security and local laws, plus passport and visa information, check www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

19. Change After the Start of Your Holiday Very occasionally we may have to change your holiday arrangements after you arrive at the resort. If we do this, we will try to place you in accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or similar resort. You have no right to cancel your booking after you have left for your holiday if we offer you a suitable alternative, prior to departure. 20. Travel Documentation and Tickets Your travel documentation is your booking confirmation/invoice. We do not usually issue travel tickets. A.

If you lose, destroy or misplace your travel documents, any request for the documents to be re-issued will incur a charge for their replacement.

Where there is a requirement for documents to be posted, these will be sent via second class post. Once documents have been sent via email or second class post we will not be responsible for their loss unless as a result of our fault or negligence.

We will not be responsible if you arrive late for the specified pick-up time.

21. System Errors In rare cases, errors may occur when inputting prices into our reservations system or website. We regret that any contract entered into on the basis of an erroneous price will be void. In the unlikely event that such a situation arises, you will be given the option to either pay the correct price or cancel with a full refund. If at any time you are having issues with the website, particularly during the booking process, you can call our reservations team on 029 2090 1010 to finish the booking. 22. Contacting you If you book via our website or have opted in other circumstances for us to contact you via e-mail, we may communicate with you using the e-mail address you have provided. For example, to provide your e-confirmation, e-ticket, e-cancellation, etc. We will assume that your e-mail address is correct & that you understand the risks associated with using this form of communication. You may still have to contact us as required in our terms & conditions. 23. ABTA We are a member of ABTA, membership number Y6145. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct.

If we can’t resolve your complaint, please go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on their website www.abta.com 24. Privacy Policy For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018, we are a data controller. In order to process your booking and to ensure that arrangements for your package are correctly made, we need to collect certain personal details about you. These will include, where appropriate, names and addresses of your party members, credit/debit card information or other payment details and special requirements that you may have. These may include dietary restrictions and medical conditions. We may need to pass this information onto other companies and organisations who require this information in order to provide your holiday (e.g. hotels, transport companies). Where you provide us with such details, you consent to such details you consent to this information being used as described above unless you expressly tell us otherwise in writing. We require certain information to be able to provide certain services. We have appropriate security measures in place to protect such data. You are entitled to ask us (by e-mail or letter) what details of yours are being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom they may have been disclosed. You may also ask to modify this information at any time. Once you have travelled you have the right to be forgotten. We will ask you whether you would like to opt-in to marketing communications from Leisuretime and you may opt out at any time. Our full and comprehensive Privacy Policy is available at leisuretime.co.uk/privacypolicy or by request in-store or by phone.

16. Conditions of Suppliers Independent suppliers make up many aspects of the services provided as part of your holiday. Their services are provided in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable local and international conventions, laws and regulations.

Travel Insurance - An Essential Part of Your Holiday Booking We believe that taking out an appropriate travel insurance policy is an essential part of your holiday booking. It is important that you understand that you might lose at least some of your booking payment if you are forced to cancel or have to pay unexpected repatriation costs if you fall ill whilst on holiday and are unable to join the return journey. Travel insurance offers you the opportunity to protect yourself against such eventualities. The policy we offer have been tailored for Leisuretime holidaymakers. Travel insurance cover for our UK holidays is optional, albeit strongly recommended, whilst for our Channel Island, Isle of Man, Eire and European holidays it is mandatory, although you don’t have to purchase your travel insurance with Leisuretime. We have arranged with Global Travel Insurance Services Ltd a holiday insurance policy specially designed with our holidays in mind. This policy is insured by ETI – International Travel Protection (ERV), the UK branch of Europäische Reiseverscherung AG, who are Licensed by the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BAFIN – www.bafin.de) and approved by the Financial Conduct Authority to undertake insurance business in the UK. We summarise below the details of the insurance cover provided which also includes 24-hour emergency service from Towergate Assistance. The following is a brief summary of the cover available. Full details of the cover, conditions and exclusions will be forwarded with your confirmation of booking. In any event you may ask for a specimen copy of the policy wording before booking should you wish to examine this in advance. If you do not accept any of the policy we offer, you must sign that you refuse the Leisuretime policy offer on behalf of yourself and your travelling companions. Section Of Cover Cancellation
