Christmas Splendour in Lincoln

Christmas Day New Holiday

Enjoy a five-day accessible Christmas holiday in the heart of Lincoln with festive celebrations, historic sights and seasonal events.

A Very Lincoln Christmas

One of the UK’s best-kept holiday secrets, Lincoln boasts a wealth of fascinating attractions, including its spectacular cathedral. This Christmas, you will spend five unforgettable days enjoying this historic city at its winter best and sharing the experience with a companionable group of Limitless Travellers. From your traditional Christmas dinner to a day out at the races, this fantastic festive extravaganza is ideally suited to anyone who wants to get away and try something different this holiday season.

5-Day Accessible Itinerary

After arriving in Lincoln aboard our accessible transport, you'll settle into the hotel and spend Christmas Eve enjoying a relaxed evening of games, laughter and cracking company. Christmas Day includes a traditional dinner with all the trimmings, plenty of seasonal entertainment and maybe even a visit from Father Christmas himself.

Itinerary

Day 1 Travel to Lincoln

We’ll meet you at one of our designated UK pick-up points, help you board our accessible coach and ensure you’re comfortable for the journey. All our coaches benefit from hydraulic lift or ramp access, and wheelchairs can be safely secured in place, so there’s no need to transfer to a standard seat. Similarly, all our drivers have experience working with Limitless Travellers and understand and respect individual access needs.

On arrival, the Limitless Team will help you check in. Then, you’ll have time to relax, unwind and explore your accessible room, before enjoying a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant and a little Christmas Eve entertainment. Your Tour Manager will round out the evening with a little entertainment for those not quite ready to hit the hay.

Day 2 Christmas Day Celebrations

Christmas Day has arrived, and we're pulling out all the stops to make it a truly memorable occasion. After enjoying breakfast together, we gather to open presents delivered by a very merry festive visitor. There is then time to take a leisurely stroll around Lincoln's picturesque waterfront area before the main celebrations begin.

In the afternoon, we will head to a local restaurant for a traditional Christmas dinner with all your festive favourites. Sharing the experience with your fellow Limitless Travellers and the Limitless Team always makes for a special occasion and a wonderful atmosphere. Afterwards, the festivities continue with entertainment, games and plenty of Christmas cheer, for a spectacular end to a very special day.

Day 3 Boxing Day at the Races

After waking up and enjoying a hearty breakfast with the group, we will board the accessible coach for the short journey to Market Rasen Racecourse – the home of one of Lincolnshire's most popular Boxing Day traditions. Soak up the lively atmosphere as racegoers gather for an afternoon of festive fun, thrilling races and friendly competition.

Covered areas mean there is no need to worry if the weather takes a turn for the worse, and ensure you can enjoy the event in complete comfort. With plenty of food and drink stalls both inside and outside the venue, you can always warm up with a hot beverage and enjoy a festive treat as the day progresses. Whether you're a seasoned racing fan or simply there for the atmosphere, the races are filled with festive cheer and a fantastic way to spend your Boxing Day. The only question is – who will back the winning horse and come out on top?

Day 4 Lincoln Cathedral and Cream Tea

From your centrally located hotel, Lincoln’s historic attractions are all within easy reach, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed morning before heading out to discover one of the city’s true highlights. We’ll make our way to the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral, one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in the country. Here, we will explore the impressive nave, admire the stunning craftsmanship and uncover the fascinating history behind this iconic landmark, which has stood proudly at the heart of Lincoln for centuries.

After taking in the beauty and atmosphere of the cathedral, we’ll stay within the grounds and enjoy a delicious Cream Tea together, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and share stories from our festive break. Afterwards, you’ll have some free time to explore Lincoln at your own pace, whether that’s taking in more of the city’s historic streets, browsing the local shops or making the most of the post-Christmas sales.

Day 5 Breakfast and Travel Home

Today, your Lincoln Christmas Splendour tour comes to an end. After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the accessible coach and depart for our various UK drop-off locations. Relax, reminisce with your fellow Limitless Travellers and take in the views. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable for the return journey and look forward to seeing you on your next Limitless holiday!
