The Three Choirs Festival Weekend

Celebrate centuries of song and heritage at England’s oldest music festival.

4days from
£929*per person

Overview

Welcome to the Three Choirs Festival, a delightful programme of choral and orchestral concerts, cathedral services, and intimate solo and chamber recitals. It is the oldest non-competitive classical music festival in the world, having celebrated its 300th anniversary back in 2015. A handpicked selection of concerts provides an inspiring addition to our weekend itinerary, which also includes a special visit to Chavenage House—a magnificent Elizabethan manor famed as Trenwith in the BBC’s Poldark, and featured in acclaimed dramas such as Lark Rise to Candleford, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, The Barchester Chronicles and more recently the hit tv series 'Rival's. Our visit continues with a guided tour of Painswick’s enchanting Rococo Garden, completing a weekend rich in culture, history, and beauty.

Itinerary

  • Check into our hotel in the afternoon. Later, we enjoy a welcome drink reception hosted by our tour manager, followed by dinner. If you are arriving early, please note that you may not be able to check into your room until the late afternoon.
  • Situated in the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, Tewkesbury offers historic charm and modern attractions. We explore the town's medieval streets or relax by the riverside before continuing to Chavenage House, a historic Elizabethan manor known for its fascinating history and architectural beauty. We then head back to our hotel for some free time and after an early dinner, we journey to Gloucester Cathedral for our evening concert, Belshazzar’s Feast.
  • Today begins with a visit to Broadway, a picturesque village known for its charming streets lined with honey-coloured stone buildings, boutique shops and art galleries and is often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds'. Our visit here is the ideal opportunity to stop for a coffee in one of the quaint cafés and admire the views. Our next stop is the Painswick Rococo Garden, a unique and historic garden nestled in the Gloucestershire countryside. Famous for its whimsical design and vibrant displays, the garden showcases the Rococo style with its playful architecture, winding paths and colourful flowerbeds. We enjoy a guided tour to learn more about this enchanting place. Afterwards, we head back to our hotel for a Sunday roast dinner and to change for our evening concert at Gloucester Cathedral, to see Vespers – a wonderful end to our delightful itinerary.
