The Main Event

Step aboard the Northern Belle and give someone a gift that feels like stepping straight into a classic travel novel, only with far better food and a lot more Champagne. This luxury train day trip pairs elegant rail travel with unforgettable attractions across the UK, offering the kind of treat that turns a special occasion into something people talk about for years.

Recipients can choose from a hand-picked collection of iconic destinations, including the Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh, Chatsworth House, the Historic Roman Baths in Bath, charming seaside Llandudno, Penderyn Distillery, Conwy Castle, Bodnant Gardens, Dartmouth Steam Railway, Paignton, Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace. With routes departing from stations around the country, it’s a gift that’s both easy to enjoy and hard to forget.

Every journey begins in style: guests stroll over a red carpet and are welcomed aboard by liveried stewards before settling into a plush 1930s Pullman-style carriage. A sparkling Mimosa or Bloody Mary sets the tone, followed by a leisurely three-course brunch as the train glides towards its destination.

Once arrived, guests enjoy entry to their chosen attraction, perhaps exploring the five fascinating decks of the Royal Yacht Britannia, wandering the grand rooms and gardens of Chatsworth House, or soaking up history at the Roman Baths. Private transfers are included where needed, keeping the whole day wonderfully effortless.

The return journey is where the Northern Belle really shows off. A Champagne reception leads into a lavish six-course dinner crafted by the train’s award-winning chef, complete with fine wines and impeccable service. Musicians serenade diners, while a roaming conjuror adds a little extra magic to the evening.

If you’re searching for a standout gift, something luxurious, memorable, and perfect for milestone birthdays, anniversaries or treating someone who “doesn’t need anything”, this experience ticks every box. It’s an escape into timeless glamour, extraordinary food, and Britain’s most enchanting destinations, all wrapped up in one unforgettable journey.
