We offer an annual calendar of events, days out with a difference and great value short breaks, as well as ticket-only events. We include complimentary days out as part of our short breaks. If those days out involve visiting places of interest, we pass on group rates directly to you!
We welcome suggestions for new places to visit from our members too…if you’ve experienced a really great place, then tell us about it, we love to plan visits to new places and share with our members.
We can only confirm our excursions subject to reaching the minimum number of people booking, so please help spread the word and we hope to see you for some REAL Socialising soon!
