+++ DECEMBER DAYBREAK PROGRAMME +++
We have two Daybreaks to bring you in December as we wrap up our 2024 programme and look forward to 2025.

You can secure the last few remaining seats for our annual visit to the popular Roman walled city of Chester at Christmas, and experience the vibrant Christmas market in Stratford-upon-Avon - new to our Programme this year.

Sat 7th - Chester at Christmas (£33 adult; £30 cons./child)
Sat 14th - Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Market* (£16 adult; £14 cons./child)

This year's Christmas Market event in Stratford boasts 200 high-quality stalls in a new layout with entertainment integrated thoughout the markets allowing visitors to experience a variety of performers as they explore.

* Please note the new date of 14th December (not the 4th as appears in our hard copy brochure) due to a change by the District Council, which also dropped the original Victorian Market theme, after our brochure went to press.

Do call our friendly team on 01386 791842 or visit www.royalmotorways.co.uk to book your seats for these wonderfully festive Daybreaks to wrap up what has been an incredibly exciting and enjoyable year for our Royal Motorways Team. We thank all our customers for travelling with us and look forward to welcoming you back in 2025.

A huge congratulations to our office assistant, Emily, who not only celebrated the completion of her Commerce Apprenticeship but was also recognised as a finalist in the Personal Development award at the 2024 Annual Awards ceremony for the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Group Training Association. This is a great achievement given some of the largest and well-established apprentice employers who were represented at last night's event held at Worcester Sixways.

Since Emily joined Royal Motorways as our very first apprentice, she has become a vital member of our team, and her award is testament to her hard work, commitment and dedication to great customer service. A big thank you also goes to our office manager, Kerry, for all the support and guidance she has given Emily since she joined the team. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, and to our amazing Royal Motorways Office Team. 🎉 🙌
