JG Travel Group has put its UK festive breaks programme on sale, two months earlier than last year.

Agents can now book UK Christmas markets in November and December, ‘Turkey and Tinsel’ breaks, holidays over Christmas and trips in between Christmas and New Year. Breaks over New Year will be on sale soon.

New to the UK Christmas markets programme is a two-day ‘Stratford-upon-Avon Victorian Christmas Market’ coach break on 7 December, which costs from £129 per person.

There is also a new five-day ‘Eastbourne, Brighton and the South Coast – Turkey and Tinsel’ coach break, from £289pp.

Trade Sales Manager Claire Dutton said: “We’ve never had our core UK festive programme available for agents to book this early.

“Traditionally, our European festive breaks and major events such as the annual ‘Thursford Christmas Spectacular’ go on sale in mid-January, but the rest follows in April time. However, we’ve seen more and more customers wanting to book their Christmas trips as early as possible to secure their chosen trip, and I’m delighted that this is now possible.”
