Welcome to merry old England! Touch down in charming Stratford-upon-Avon, where half-timbered houses and Shakespearean flair 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.
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.
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.
Today is pure countryside magic. First up: a visit to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and its blooming gardens. Then it’s off to Bourton-on-the-Water, nicknamed “Little Venice” for its charming low bridges and scenic canals. After exploring the whimsical Model Village and maybe indulging in a cream tea, we continue through the rolling hills of the Cotswolds to beautiful Bath—your elegant home for the next two nights.
Wake up in gorgeous Bath and enjoy the morning exploring its honey-colored lanes, boutique shops, and Georgian architecture. You might pop into the Roman Baths or visit the grand Bath Abbey. This afternoon, prepare to be wowed at the American Museum & Gardens, home to one of the finest historic quilt collections in the world. Stroll the terraced gardens and take in sweeping views of the Avon Valley before we enjoy a private dinner surrounded by antique textiles and unforgettable ambiance.
Enjoy one more bite of scones before heading to a fairytale English castle—full of towers, tales, and treasures. Tour the elegant rooms and manicured grounds, then we’re off to London! Your centrally located hotel offers fabulous views of the Tower Bridge and easy access to the heart of the city. Spend the evening strolling the South Bank or dining in lively Borough Market—London’s your playground tonight.
Cue the royal trumpets—we’re seeing the best of London! A guided panoramic tour brings you face-to-face with Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and more. This afternoon, treat yourself to fabric heaven at Liberty of London, where you’ll swoon over their world-famous prints in one of the city’s most iconic shops.
Today is wide open for your own adventure! Take in a museum, enjoy a spot of afternoon tea, ride the London Eye, or visit a hidden gem like Daunt Books or Neal’s Yard. Your Tour Manager is full of ideas and happy to help tailor the day to your interests.
This morning, we explore the Victoria and Albert Museum—an absolute gem for anyone who loves design, fashion, and textiles. You’ll see everything from 16th-century embroidery to avant-garde couture. Then it’s time to dress up (just a little!) and toast the journey at our Farewell Dinner. Great memories, new friends, and maybe a few fabric souvenirs to take home.
As your British quilting adventure wraps up, exchange hugs, emails, and fond goodbyes. You’ll head home inspired, recharged, and wrapped in the warm memories of everything you’ve seen, stitched, and shared.
