DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY
DAY 1: ARRIVE STRATFORD-UPON-AVON – TOUR BEGINS
Welcome to Merrie Olde England! Touch down in charming Stratford-upon-Avon, where
half-timbered houses and Shakespearean 昀氀air set the scene. Settle into our city-centre
hotel, then raise a glass at tonight’s festive Welcome Dinner. You’ll meet your Tour
Manager and fellow quilt-loving explorers—and the laughter and bonding begins. D
DAY 2: THE FESTIVAL OF QUILTS
Get ready to swoon—today we head to Birmingham for the Festival of Quilts, the UK’s
biggest and boldest quilt extravaganza. From classic patchwork to cutting-edge design, this
show has it all. Stroll the vendor booths, take in live demos, and get hands-on in workshops
that spark your creativity. Whether you’re here to shop, learn, or simply be inspired, this is a
bucket-list experience for any quilting enthusiast. B
DAY 3: MORE FESTIVAL FUN + SHAKESPEARE’S BIRTHPLACE
There’s so much to see, we’re going back for more! Catch what you missed yesterday
or revisit your favorite quilts and vendors. This afternoon, dive into literary history
at Shakespeare’s Birthplace—an adorable Tudor home packed with stories. Enjoy
time to wander the shops and gardens, then spend your evening however you please.
Stratford’s cobblestone streets are lined with cozy pubs and quaint restaurants—
perfect for a relaxed meal or a celebratory pint. B
