Picturesque St Ives & River Cruise
Friday 26th June 2026
£45.00 Per Person
Nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire sits the bustling market town of St Ives. Sitting just 15 miles from the centre of Cambridge, this picturesque town can be found on the River Great Ouse, which helped establish it as a prosperous market town in the 11th Century, allowing traders and travellers to transport their goods with ease.
Today, residents and locals avoid having to cross the river by boat, thanks to the 15th century bridge which remains in place. Every day, hundreds of people pass over St Ives Bridge, often with little recollection of its history. But, with an existence that spans over six centuries, St Ives Bridge has its roots firmly planted as one of the most prominent features of the market town.
Bridge aside, St Ives is a thriving local market town, filled with plenty of shops, eateries and other amusements to keep you entertained. There’s even the Norris Museum, conveniently located close to the Bridge, where you can learn even more about the history of St Ives Bridge and the local area as a whole.

Summer’s Day in Thorpeness & Aldeburgh
Sunday 26th July 2026
£37.50 Per Person
Join us on this delightful day out to the Suffolk Coast !
The small village of Thorpeness is dominated by the Meare, which is open all year round and bears witness to the village’s fantastical past. Thorpeness was the dream of wealthy Scottish barrister Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie. Originally a fishing hamlet called Thorpe in what would later be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it was seen by Ogilvie as the perfect place to create an adult playground for his family and friends. Once complete, he renamed it Thorpeness to distinguish it from all the other Thorpes in East Anglia, and one of the most unique villages in the country was born.
Today the village is just how Ogilvie envisaged it with pretty mock Tudor houses and the fairy-tale ‘House in the Clouds’. With Peter Pan islands, boats in every shade of the rainbow, and plenty of secrets to uncover, Thorpeness Meare is the centrepiece of this fantastic village on the Suffolk coast.
