If you fancy a break over the festive season, then why not join Solos Holidays on one of their special Christmas or New Year breaks. These social events are a great opportunity to mix and associate.
Stratford Christmas Market
A wonderful way to start getting into the festive spirit on this 2-night Christmas market break. Wander under the twinkling lights while shopping for homemade gifts and tasting warming wine, roast chestnuts or luxury（奢侈的） chocolates. Explore historical Stratford-upon-Avon and enjoy dinner on both evenings where you can relax, join in the hotel’s party night and hit the dance-floor with other single guests.
Departure： 7th December
Price：£380, Breakfast Dinner
New Year in Brighton
Head to the south coast and the busy town of Brighton for a 3-night break this New Year. Celebrations begin with a Solos welcome drink before joining other single guests for dinner and musical entertainment. The next morning we take the fun ‘Only in Brighton Tour’ showcasing all things special about Brighton, before New Year’s Eve kicks off with a Gala dinner and party to take us into 2019.
