Our Christmas Shopping trip to Chester & Liverpool starts with an early boarding of our luxury coach and a transfer to Dublin Port. Here our coach drives onto the Stena Line ferry for our 3 hour 30 minute sailing to Holyhead Port.

We transfer directly to Chester and enjoy some free time to explore or shop in this pretty Roman Walled town. Chester is always beautifully decorated for Christmas, there is an abundance of big name high street stores for you to choose from but at the same time is also offers the charm of local quirky shops.

Our coach departs Liverpool at 9:15am and travels the 30 minute drive to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Centre. Cheshire Oaks is home to one of Europe’s premier designer outlet centres, offering superb discounts on well known high street brands as well as world famous luxury names.

There are plenty of dining options here as well as coffee shops for you to have lunch. Our coach will leave to return to Liverpool from the coach park at 4pm. The evening is free for more shopping or fun in Liverpool.

Not all our passengers decide to join us on this excursion, please note that if you’re not onboard the coach at the time of morning departure, the coach will depart regardless.

At leisure in Liverpool.

Liverpool is a small compacted city and extremely easy to get around. It offers a vast choice of things to do. Take an open top bus tour, enjoy a class in Gin tasting, take a tour of Liverpool Football Club’s Stadium, dine in any one of the city’s numerous excellent restaurants. The city is home to the Liverpool One Shopping Centre and the very glamourous Metquarter, The Albert Dock, The Tate Liverpool, The Beatles Story and the Cavern Bar….. with so much to see and do, you will certainly have a busy free day!

Our coach departs from outside the hotel at 9am and travels to Holyhead in Wales. Subject to road, weather and traffic conditions we’ll stop at Morrison’s Supermarket in Holyhead for some last minute purchases. It’s a short distance over to the port where we will take the lunchtime sailing with a planned arrival time of 5:30pm into Dublin Port and then continue to our orginial pick up points.
