Grand UK Holidays expands Gold offering in autumn and festive brochure

Mature travel specialist Grand UK Holidays has launched its Autumn & Festive brochure for 2026-27, with an expanded range of premium coach breaks, door-to-door options and river cruises.

The 32-page brochure features destinations in the UK and Europe, with Christmas market breaks, holidays over the Christmas and New Year period, and spring 2027 “superdeals”.

More premium ‘Gold’ tours have been added as a new 44-passenger Gold coach is joining the fleet this year, offering more legroom than standard coaches, plus Wi-Fi and USBs.

The new five-day Gold Lakeland Wonders tour costs from £629, including half-board accommodation and visits to see Windermere, Hawkshead, Coniston Water, Bowness-on-Windermere, Grasmere, Ullswater and Keswick.

The programme leads in at £319 for the five-day Heart of England Superdeal in spring 2027, which visits Lichfield, the National Memorial Arboretum, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds.

Lyn Arnold, travel trade manager, is planning to visit key agents to offer training and to promote the brochure with a booking incentive.

Kirsty Laifa, sales and marketing manager at parent company The UK Holiday Group, said: “Sales have remained strong especially across our Gold and Door-to-Door holidays and why those programmes are being expanded for 2027.

“Our popular Gold programme remains our strongest seller.”

Sister brand Palmer Holiday, which offers departures from Yorkshire and the northeast – has also launched its Autumn & Festive brochure.

New options include a two-day Liverpool & Chester Christmas Markets holiday, from £199.
