Hoteldirect

I was given Hoteldirect as a retirement gift from friends and colleagues, and what a gift this was. I called Hoteldirect and spoke to Chris who infact had dealt with my colleague who had arranged this voucher. He was able to tend to my requirements and chose the Hotel for me. He even went that extra mile to ask the hotel to leave a bottle of Champagne in the room with a gift card to help to celebrate my retirement. I would certainly use Hoteldirect again

Omega Breaks Review | London Theatre Trips by coach

I love a coach trip. I don’t know if that’s a controversial statement, or makes me old at heart (I am, what can I say). They can make trips more affordable, simpler, and they’re a lot of fun! Another love of mine is the theatre, and I’ve done many London Theatre trips by coach. Recently, I travelled with Omega Breaks , for the first time, to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella .

What’s included in a London Theatre Trips by Coach Package

Each company packages these trips differently. However, with Omega breaks, you get your travel to London, your hotel stay, your theatre tickets, travel into London from the hotel and your breakfast.

When booking, you can find your local pick up points, and there’s so many. We got picked up from Kendal and had about 4 pick ups after us, and one before us. Our last one was Birmingham way, and they structure it so you don’t have too many pickup points.

Hotels are usually near Heathrow airport, and they promise a 3* or 4* hotel, where you get your breakfast the next morning.

Your theatre tickets are included, and you can upgrade them so you can get the seats you want. We didn’t do this and had side view tickets, but they were still great!

Omega Breaks London Theatre Trip Itinery

We had a bright and early start (or dark and rainy, with it being October!), to get to our pickup at 7am. Making our way down south, having two comfort breaks and 4 more pick ups, we made it to our hotel around 2:30pm.

We stayed at the Ibis hotel, which looked really nice downstairs however the rooms were less than great. There was no bin, or soap, and the bed wasn’t the comfiest. However, in the grand scheme of things, it didn’t matter as we were hardly in the room!

We headed into London and had 2 hours to get some food. We got dropped off really close to the hotel and I found Lowlander, a Belgian bar and restaurant. It was literally across the road from the Theatre! If you’re heading to see Cinderella , get yourself booked in there because the food is brilliant, it’s got great energy, and it’s so close.

Cinderella was amazing. We chose not to upgrade the tickets, and we’re happy with the seats. Omega Breaks do have a deal where if you upgrade your ticket, you can get a river cruise pass.

Breakfast at the Ibis wasn’t great, however, the hotel was really understaffed and there was a lot of guests!

You have free time in London, til around 3pm, and we were in town by 10:30. As you’re dropped off in Central, you can basically go anywhere! People on our coach headed to Harrods, The Natural History Museum, the V&A, so many places. We headed to Covent Garden, to go to The Harry Potter On Location Exhibition, which you can read all about here. We had plenty of time to explore, get lunch, and have a really good day.

Because it was the London Marathon, it took a while to get out of town. But we were back at our drop off point by 11:30pm, and had had a dinner stop on the way back.

It’s safe to say, it was a full on 48 hours, but it was brilliant.

How much did it cost?

So, our Omega Breaks, London Theatre Trip by coach to see Cinderella was £130 – which is insane value for money. Living up north means train tickets to London alone can be more than that.

The price is mainly dependent on which show you’re going to see, and you do have the option to upgrade your tickets. Everyone on the bus is going to different shows, so it’s lovely when you get back on the bus to hear all about the other shows. Because of this, my list of shows to see has doubled!

Would I do Omega Breaks London Theatre Trips by coach again?

100% yes. Actually, we’re planning on booking a trip to see Moulin Rouge early next year! Because we live quite a way away from London, it’s the most affordable way to do theatre trips. Plus, I love going on a coach trip, and even though it’s tiring, you really do feel like you’re having an adventure!

I hope this has helped you find out more than Omega Breaks.

Ah I miss the theatre so much! I’ve done a few coach trips up because we live so close and it’s just sooo much easier than doing all of the trains! Rosie

It’s so much easier isn’t it!! And I was so pleased to be back in at the theatre too

It sounds like you had a lovely time and I like the sound of Omega Breaks x

It really was a brilliant weekend. I can thoroughly recommend Omega!

I’ve not heard of omega but I’ve done a similar trip with another company and it was such good value. Your trip sounds amazing!

They’re such good value aren’t they! I can really recommend Omega x

What great value for money! I’ve not been to the theatre in sooo long! Amy x callmeamy.co.uk

Oooh that is absolutely amazing value! Definitely going to check this out!

DCPR. | My Story Of I

I’ve never heard of doing Coach trips to see a theater show but it does sound like the perfect weekend break that won’t break the bank. It seems easy to plan and prepare departure for, which is great. Will definitely be adding this to my list of trips to take.

Ah, I’m so pleased you found this useful! It makes it so easy and affordable – let me know if you decide to book on one.

WELCOME TO KIMS THEATRE TRIPS & EXCURSIONS

Pick ups in: Arlesey. Baldock, Borehamwood, Biggleswade, Hitchin, Hertford, Letchworth, Stevenage, Shefford, Hatfield Galleria, WGC

Myself and Keith have always enjoyed the theatre but a night in London was so expensive

Train fare – Theatre tickets – Meal out – so I started to think of a way of making it more affordable.

In April of 2003 I organised a mini bus for us and a few friends – we had a great time and then friends of friends started to ask about coming along.

I remember the very first show we did waiting for the coach, petrified that they might have forgotten us, or I might have forgotten to book it, and the relief when it pulled round the corner. It’s not always been easy – but it’s always been worth it, when people send me messages saying what a fab trip they have had. Our first year we only did 4 trips – every 3 months and I remember saying to Keith I might do one a month – I can’t repeat what he said on here apart from he didn’t think I would be able to fill 12 coaches a year! I took a chance and blimey look at us now. It’s hard work, buying the shows, negotiating better seats, paying up front (Keith hates that bit) and taking a chance I can sell them all – then trying to get the seating sorted – that is a nightmare trying to seat a party of five when I’ve only got even numbers of seats etc! – collecting the money in – trying to get everyone seated on the coach (sometimes it’s like a game of Tetris!!)etc etc – but somehow it works.

We expanded after Lock down and now do day trips – concert trips – 4 day holidays – I’m open to any suggestions actually!
