Weekend Break to Crich Tramway Village & Coronation Street Experience Tour

£75.00 per person deposit

Day 1 – Crich Tramway Village
After a morning departure from the Essex area, we shall take a leisurely drive to Derbyshire to the Crich Tramway Village. Upon arrival at admissions, you will be given an old penny (for adults) and halfpenny (for children) to ride on the trams. It will be exchanged for a ticket by the conductor on your first tram ride. Retain your ticket and use it to ride on the trams as many times as you wish during the day. Step back in time along their recreated period street where you won’t have to wait long for the rumble of a vintage tram. Many of the buildings along the street have been rescued from towns and cities across the UK, such as the Derby Assembly Rooms façade which came to Crich after a tragic fire. The Red Lion Pub and Restaurant came all the way from Stoke-on-Trent and was re-built brick by brick. Also look out for the street furniture, which is dotted along the street, including the Bundy Clock at Town End Terminus and The Exhibition Hall windows, which were rescued from the Doncaster tram depot. Why not grab lunch at the Red Lion Pub and do a touch of tram spotting ? After time to enjoy the village, we shall head to our nearby 4* hotel for our three course evening meal & overnight stay.
