From Food and Drink shows like the BBC Good Food Show, to regional festivals like the Bakewell Pie Fest, and afternoon tea experiences, join us as you taste your way to an unforgettable break.

Afternoon Tea Experiences

One of our most popular food and drink packages are our afternoon tea trips. We offer a large variety of trips that include a delicious high tea as part of the package. Our most memorable options allow you to enjoy your afternoon tea on a steam train, while you enjoy watching the beautiful countryside rolling past you. If afternoon tea isn't your cup of tea, we also have a number of options where you can have Sunday lunch on a steam train instead.

Food & Drink Shows

Another great day out for food lovers is to the UK's best food and drink shows. At the BBC Good Food show, you can sample delicious drinks, including craft beers, cocktails and award-winning wines, and meet artisan producers.

And when you want to experience something a bit different, head over to BBC Gardeners’ World Live filled with plants, shopping, entertainment, expert advice and appearances from BBC Gardeners’ World presenters, including Monty Don, Alan Titchmarsh and Carol Klein.
