This new year why not discover a new destination to delight your groups?
Loughborough in the heart of Charnwood has invested in their group offer over the last few years which means it’s perfectly located for a great day out for your group.
Ideally located just off junction 23 of the M1, there’s convenient town centre parking, a meet and greet service, guided walks around the historic Carillon tower, the iconic Hope Bell, Charnwood Museum and award winning Queen’s Park.
This bustling university town has a range of daily markets from the traditional markets which have been taking place for over 800 years to Artisan craft and vintage markets and the newest addition the Love Loughborough Gardeners’ Fair.
The Love Loughborough Gardeners’ Fair takes place on the first Sunday of the month between April – November and has a range of horticulturalists and plant growers who provide expert advice on when to buy and plant to improve your outdoor space. There are also artisan craft makers, food and drink stalls and live entertainment, so the perfect way to spend a spring day out.
Loughborough is also home to Taylor’s Bellfoundry Museum, the UK’s last working Bellfoundry. As well as the fascinating museum where the rich history of bell making comes to life, you can book your group onto a guided tour of the foundry to see craftsmanship in action and learn the fascinating story behind the Taylors bells that ring out across the world.
There’s also a huge and varied programme of shows and events at Loughborough Town Hall whether it’s award winning pantos, Anton Du Bek or live comedy. And of course no trip to Loughborough is complete without a trip on the Great Central Railway.
Step back in time on a trip on the only double track steam train in Britain and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea or Sunday lunch whilst you travel through the rolling Charnwood countryside.
