We are pleased to present a memorable day tour as “The Statesman” departs from your local station and travels through the stunning Welsh Marches and past historic Chester with the spectacular Welsh coast offering sweeping sea views for an afternoon break in the beautiful seaside resort of Llandudno to visit the popular annual Victorian Extravaganza.
Each year the Victorian Extravaganza offers a great opportunity to experience life in a former more graceful age with the townspeople dressing in period costume and vintage cars and omnibuses taking to the streets.
In addition, traditional fairgrounds, brass bands, steam engines & Wurlitzer organs perform along the promenade. Perhaps take a ride up the Great Orme on board the preserved working tramway that dates to 1902. All events are within easy walking distance of the station and easily accessible.
