GN Holidays - UK Self Drive Breaks Brochure

GN Holidays specialises in self drive and coach breaks for the over-40s, offering a unique blend of nostalgic live music weekends, Christmas and New Year parties, and touring holidays across the UK. From 60s and 70s themed party weekends with live bands to coastal drives along Dorset's Jurassic Coast, GN Holidays packages combine comfortable accommodation with flexible daytime sightseeing and lively evening entertainment.

60s and 70s Themed Party Weekends

At the heart of the GN Holidays programme are their legendary nostalgic party breaks, designed to take you back to the golden era of British popular music. Live performances from a rotating selection of bands and artists fill the evenings, while days are left free for guests to explore the surrounding area at their own pace. Venues span the length of England, including stays at stately halls and resorts such as the Isle of Wight.

Self Drive Flexibility

Unlike a traditional coach package, GN Holidays self drive breaks let you travel on your own schedule, arrive in your own vehicle and use the base venue as a hub for day trips. This format suits guests who want the social atmosphere of a group event in the evenings while retaining the freedom to tour local attractions, coastal routes and countryside during the day.

Christmas and New Year Celebrations

GN Holidays extends the festive season with dedicated Christmas party breaks and New Year's Eve events held at venues across the UK. For those who want the celebrations to continue into January, the Carry On New Year party series keeps the party atmosphere alive with self drive stays at a variety of locations, typically featuring entertainment, meals and dancing.

Coach Breaks and UK Touring

Alongside self drive options, GN Holidays offers escorted coach breaks taking in iconic British destinations. Itineraries have included tours of Dorset's Jurassic Coast, giving guests the chance to explore the World Heritage coastline with travel and accommodation arranged as a complete package.
