Choose from our popular Leisure Activity New Year Breaks below. Whichever break you choose you’ll be ensured of a warm
welcome at any of our Country Houses and a great
start to 2009.
| Christmas & New Year Bridge Parties |
 |
Optional morning seminars will be followed by free time to relax in the
cosy warmth of Harrington House in the Cotswolds and the wonderfully
sited Bryn Corach in Conwy - or to get out and about independently.
Competitive duplicate bridge starts late afternoon, and after an excellent
dinner will continue through the evening. At Christmas we’ll take you out
and about on two days to explore the Cotswold villages nestled in the
rolling hills, and to explore the World Heritage city of Bath which looks
perfect at this time of year. At New Year we’ll take a day out to visit
Chester with its fabulous city centre sights and unique shopping. Come
and enjoy the festive spirit and good bridge for a holiday to remember.
For players of good intermediate standard.

| Folk Dancing & Walking for Fun |

Dance off any excess pounds you’ve picked up over Christmas, on
the dance floor! There is something for everybody here, no matter
what your level of experience; English style and American style
dancing from 1650 to the present day with the emphasis on fun.
Morning sessions concentrate on learning specific figures that provide
the basis of the social evening dance. All dances are taught and
called. An optional afternoon walk will still leave some time to relax!
With plenty of scope for special requests and beginners.

Yoga can change your life; regular practice will make your body more
supple and flexible, your mind calmer and it will improve your
concentration. Practice in the mornings, in the afternoons you may want
to enjoy the optional short walk, then we meet again for an hour or so
before dinner for a further session. In the evenings enjoy the company
of other guests or do a little more gentle yoga. This is for anyone of any
age and ability, including beginners.
