Includes return travel by luxury coach; free time at Thursford and tickets (raised seating centre), for the afternoon performance of the Thursford Christmas Spectacular.

Join us on our annual pilgrimage to Thursford for the Christmas Spectacular. The show has attracted over 5.8million visitors to date and is considered to be the largest Christmas show in the country. The Thursford Christmas Spectacular is set in the magical surroundings of mechanical engines and fairground carousels, with a cast of over 130 singers, dancers and musicians – many of whom are straight out of the West End. The 3-hour performance is an extravaganza of non-stop singing, dancing, music, humour and speciality acts. It’s a fast-moving celebration of the festive season featuring an eclectic mix of both seasonal and year-round favourites, with famous and muchloved chart toppers being performed alongside traditional carols. This excursion is very popular, and tickets sell very quickly, so early booking is essential if you want to see the show. After our usual comfort stop, we drive direct to Thursford, thus giving you the opportunity to have lunch in either the Garden Pavilion Restaurant or Barn Café and a look around the shops with decorations, unique giftware, and festive accessories, before enjoying the Christmas Spectacular.

Please note: As tickets have to be pre-bought by C&J Tours we politely ask that this excursion is booked and paid for by 18th August 2025. The finale of the show includes a fly over of white doves across the auditorium. This is a long day. The show is due to finish around 5pm meaning we will not be back in Dunmow till around 7.30pm at the earliest.
