Getting home

We’ve timed this tour a little later than our usual tours, so we’ll depart Broadway at approximately 19.15. This will give you plenty of time to explore the wonderful shops and really soak up the Christmassy atmosphere!|

We’ll return to Moreton-in-Marsh by 19.40, so if you’re taking the train back to London, Reading or Oxford, you’ll be in time to catch the 19.47 train home.

It takes around 30 minutes to get back to Stratford-upon-Avon from Moreton-in-Marsh, so for those needing to return to Stratford-upon-Avon, plan on being back at around 20.15, approximately. Your heart will be filled with Christmas joy and your camera full of memories!
