Festive days out are set to become even more magical this year as Pearces Coaches, part of the Oxford Bus Group, launches a brand-new series of Christmas market coach trips.
Designed to help shoppers make the most of the season, the Didcot-based operator is offering stylish, comfortable transport to four of the UK’s most popular Christmas markets: Bath, Birmingham, Cardiff and Winchester.
The launch marks Pearces’ expansion into coach-based day trips, offering the local community a convenient, enjoyable way to explore some of the country’s most atmospheric Christmas destinations.
“We’re pleased to launch an exciting series of coach trips to Christmas markets to help people in our community enjoy festive days out to other areas,” said Luke Marion, Managing Director at Pearces Coaches.
