Dear GROUP LEADER, With GLENTON celebrating its 10th Anniversary we plan to make 2016 super special! Our new Summer Collection brochure is tumbling onto doormats and we’re absolutely thrilled with the outstanding choice within its pages. Remember, groups can select any of the tours in our brochure and we can operate the holiday exclusively for your club. Groups also enjoy the added bonus of being able to cherry-pick the excursions that most appeal while skipping the ones that don’t then opting for a more enticing outing. Shorten or lengthen the holiday duration, add entry to an attraction, include a guided tour – almost anything is possible with GLENTON GROUPS.In this edition of Go Travelling, we have fantastic new ideas for you and your group. Murder Mystery tours onboard a heritage railway, exciting craft breaks and amazing cruise deals. Or head to the continent and take advantage of our one free place in every ten passengers booking any one of our five day plus European tours. In addition, ten passengers on a continental getaway qualifies you for a personal pickup of your choice*- please ask for more details. GLENTON GROUPS enjoyed a bumper 2015 with more groups than ever trusting us with their holidays. A big thank you for all your support – and we look forward to being of further service to you.

Kind regardsClaire Jolly

Why don’t you and your group hop aboard a vintage carriage on the East Lancashire Railway and take an evocative step back in time on one of our thrilling themed breaks.

Partake of some serious sleuthing as you follow the clues and catch the killer! Put on your thinking caps and take in a variety of sinister scenarios performed on-board, all whilst tucking into a delicious three course meal. Choose between the Great Gatsby, Secret Agent and Scary Tales themes and enjoy a day at leisure in Liverpool before turning detective.

MURDER, MYSTERY & MEMORIESAboArd the eAst LAncAshire rAiLwAy

Don your glad rags for our journey back to the roaring twenties. Get set for dinner and a party aboard our vintage carriage – but when someone commits a murder, can you follow the clues and uncover the killer!

See your childhood fairytales become scary tales when a murder is committed and those friendly characters from the happy ever after books are suddenly not how you remember them!

Calling all James and Jane Bonds...a murder has been committed during dinner aboard our train and Her Majesty’s Secret Service needs you. With the help of some subtle clues (and a martini or two) can you catch the man with the golden gun?

Olden is where a trip to the million-years-old Briksdals Glacier is not to be missed while Eidfjord features mountains reflecting in the deep blue water. Add on a stop at Lerwick, the historic capital of the Shetland Islands and you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday.

Discover why Iceland is fabled as the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ as you and the group circumnavigate this amazing country with its vast ice caps, active volcanoes, thundering waterfalls, bubbling mud pools and spurting geysers. Reykjavik is the world’s most northerly capital and features an old town with bizarre metal houses and an overnight stop here ensures you’ll have time to explore. Akureyri boasts the planet’s northernmost botanic gardens while isolated Isafjördur has an unexpected urban feel. Other fascinating ports include Tórshavn, capital of the Faroes and Heimaey, largest of the Westmann islands with its lava flow seawall beneath still smouldering Eldfell volcano.
