ESCAPE TO ETTINGTON PARK HOTEL

 MONDAY 13th Sept To THURSDAY 16th Sept 2021


In October 2019 I publicised this Spring Break and had 59 members already booked when the Covid -19 pandemic hit us all and we had to, reluctantly, cancel the event. I am now pleased to announce that we are again planning this event in 2021 with existing bookings taking priority. That leaves us with just 10 rooms available for other lucky members to join us.

I expect you are all just desperate to start enjoying yourselves again. Well look no further my friends. This will be the 17th  Spring Break event we have organised and all have been full of enjoyment, relaxation and fun. I can promise you that this one will be no exception. We will have the pleasure of staying at the best 4* hotel in Warwickshire. Oh, we do spoil you!

We will be staying at Ettington Park Hotel. [Not be confused with Ettington Chase hotel] Set in 40 acres of parkland just six miles south of Stratford Upon Avon. This Neo-Gothic mansion may be almost overwhelming at first sight but once inside you can expect the warmest of welcomes as well as indulgent bedrooms. Irresistible cuisine and unforgettable architecture complete with full leisure facilities. Perfect excuse to indulge yourself and escape from lifes little problems.

Arriving on the Monday afternoon you will be welcomed with free tea/coffee and biscuits in the magnificent lounge . The evening will commence with a drinks reception followed by a 4-course  meal and entertainment.

On the Tuesday we travel  50 miles through pleasant countryside to visit Bletchley Park. Once the home of the top-secret codebreakers in World War two. A vibrant heritage attraction and museum. Have a guided tour or a self-tour using audio guides. An awe inspiring attraction which can take a couple of hours or a full day to explore, depending on your level of interest. There are ample eating facilities and you are free to arrive and leave to suit your own agenda.

On the Wednesday we travel 12 miles and visit the Heart of England forest to view one of the largest sculpture collections in the U.K. featuring history's greats, in bronze. Over 50 impressive sculptures in the Garden of Heroes and Villains. The garden of sculptures was created by one of Warwickshire's richest men. The late Felix Dennis [No relation to me but we shared many similarities in appearance. So much so that when I first met him many years ago, he addressed me as "brother"!!!] You will be amazed by the diversity and quality of the sculptures. The visit will include coffee/tea and cakes. The garden of Heroes & Villains is being opened specially for our visit so this is a unique opportunity to experience something which you will not see anywhere else in the UK   

We then travel 16 miles through beautiful Cotswold countryside to the Cotswold Foodstore & Café at Longborough for a sumptuous lunchtime buffet overlooking the relaxing Cotswold countryside. It is a family run business championing local food and amongst their growing accolades, is the Trip Advisors Certificate of Excellence five years running. Now fully refreshed you are free to explore other local attractions in the area or enjoy a leisurely 16 mile drive back to the hotel and relax in the grounds of the hotel or use the extensive leisure facilities within the hotel. What a fabulous relaxing way to spend a day.  

Every evening will commence with a free drinks reception and free wine with the  excellent four course meal. Entertainment on all three evenings will be of "west end " professional standard. The exact nature of the entertainment has not been finalised, but rest assured they will all be of the quality you have come to expect on previous Spring Breaks. I can promise that the Gala evening, starting with champagne and canapés, will be a night to remember. The fancy dress theme on the Gala evening will be "Heroes and villains" Plenty of options for you here. From superman to an evil witch. From Churchill to Hitler. From a brain surgeon to a terrorist.  Whatever takes your imagination.  

In summary you will be staying at the best luxurious Country House hotel in Warwickshire, driving your cars through the pleasant countryside of the Cotswolds and enjoying relaxing visits in the daytime. Evenings will include excellent food and drinks, being entertained by professional West End quality entertainers and in the company of friendly like-minded members of the "Best car club in the world"  You must realise these Spring Breaks are extremely good value for money and at a very attractive price.

Better than any cruise ship holiday and definitely no risk of sea sickness.
