Stanley Travel has long been a fan of Great Yarmouth and its charming seaside and our many return customers agree it has got something for everybody!

With the long stretch of sandy beaches and usual seaside treats like ice cream and arcades on offer, there are also many more tourist attractions and events to keep everyone from every generation happy.

Our favourite attractions include the model village, Pleasure Beach and the Sealife Centre. Luckily for you, our 5 day trip to Great Yarmouth, departing on May 25 includes time for all of that and more!

Staying in The Royal Hotel, on the Marine Parade, you and your group will enjoy a seafront location within walking distance from the town centre and the hotel even boasts once hosting an incredibly famous visitor!

Charles Dickens himself stayed at The Royal Hotel (many moons ago) and even wrote the novel, David Copperfield during his stay!

Not only will we provide you with this great accommodation and transport to and from the hotel, we have also included the following excursions during your trip:

• A full day to Norwich: One of Great Yarmouth’s most beautiful cities, with a medieval street plan, notable buildings and an impressive cathedral AND a Norman Castle.
