ARTS & CULTURE

Whether you are in Scotland, Ireland, England or Europe, our experienced team of destination experts can create a bespoke experience for you and your family and friends incorporating all the sites, art galleries and museums you wish to explore. From arts, food and literary festivals to galleries and museums the UK is culturally rich and LTR will ensure that you enjoy the very best of our luxury cultural vacations. There are 28 Unesco World Heritage sites to visit in the UK itself so we can organize some fabulous cultural trips to include many of these. The bespoke nature of all our vacations ensures that we can work with you, our clients, to make sure that you visit and see all the sites and cultural activities that you are interested in. We are very used to large family groups of all ages and interests and enjoy putting together a bespoke program to suit each person.

If you enjoy watching the ballet, going to the opera or theater we can arrange for the best seats in the house and are often able to obtain tickets for performances that are seemingly sold out. London is the center of theatrical indulgence with shows such as Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre being one of the longest running shows since it began in 1999. The Phantom of the Opera, after more than 10,000 performances is still showing at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and is a multi-award winning musical. Or perhaps you might be looking to see the funny and heart warming musical, Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Whatever you are interested in, we can come up with lots of ideas of performances for you to see.

The UK has some wonderful museums and art galleries. For example if you are based in or around Edinburgh, there is the Scottish National Gallery in the heart of Edinburgh which houses one of the best collections of fine art in the world. If you are a lover of modern and contemporary art, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is a definite must to visit. The Museum of Childhood, also in Edinburgh, is a fascinating place and a fun day out for the whole family.

For book lovers there are number of literary festivals around the UK that all offer a different flavor into the world of writers. There is the Borders Book Festival held annually in June, in Melrose in the Scottish Borders. This is growing in size year on year and offers a lovely, informal way of listening to talks from authors, discussions, sampling local food and drink, listening to music and comedy with fun for all ages. There is also the winter Hay Festival at Hay Castle in Wales, which is a literary festival offering wonderful stories, vigorous debates and roaring fires. The success of this festival is evident as it is now held in various cities all over the world at different times of year including Peru, Colombia, Spain and Ireland.

Whatever you are keen to involve yourselves in, we can organize a wonderful, luxury cultural experience for you and all the family.
