Banish the Blue Monday blues on a special interest holiday...

A Singing Holiday

Aside from being good fun, what are the benefits? Studies have shown that people who participate in group singing, or perform as part of a choir, are more likely to feel a stronger sense of togetherness. Social wellbeing is also at a higher level in people who are part of such groups, and the enjoyment of doing something you love is enough to produce oxytocin, which – in turn – leads to increased feelings of comfort, happiness and satisfaction. What's not to love?

We offer two singing holidays for 2019, both taking place in gorgeous Italy. Expert tutor Jeremy Backhouse will lead both departures, one in Ischia and the other in Umbria. Sing in harmony in stunning destinations and experience the conviviality of such a trip!

A Walking Holiday

The physical and mental benefits of walking are both extensive and well-known. Studies around this have shown that walking modifies the nervous system to the point where anger and hostility can be reduced, it can boost creativity, and it can even help to improve digestion as a result of gastric mobility!

If you're not yet a regular walker, why not treat yourself to a place on one of our walking holidays – we're sure you'll quickly fall in love with it. Whether you prefer a slower, meditative pace or a brisker approach, the benefits of walking are evident and we can't wait to welcome you. Join us this year in the Cinque Terre, Amalfi, La Gomera or Montenegro...

A Culinary Journey

If you think back to your favourite holiday, we bet one of the first things that will spring to mind is something you either ate or drank while there. Food is one of life's absolute pleasures and we are delighted to be running a series of unique holidays to Italy this year that will showcase real Italian food in authentic and immersive ways. 

From the hills of Tuscany and the churches of Sicily, to Piedmont's incredible chocolate and the air-dried meats in Bologna – these holidays offer the chance to lose yourself in a new world of flavour.

Painting Holidays

It may come as no surprise that spending time on creative hobbies can aid feelings of happiness, and we are strong believers in the art of self-expression. One of the most common reasons not to indulge a hobby is the sheer lack of time, which is why we have come up with a series of painting holidays. This way, you can devote quality time to exercising your creative ability – and in beautiful places.

In 2019, we can take you to the Cinque Terre, Amalfi, La Gomera and Montenegro. What's more, if you're travelling with a friend or partner, they can choose Walking on these trips if they're not arty!
