Voyage concert at the Abba Arena. Overnight accommodation will be on the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, which is berthed in the Royal Victoria Dock. The show blends cuttingedge technology, a live backing band, spectacular lighting and some of the most beloved pop songs ever written, as ABBA take to the stage once more. This show has to be seen to be believed. |
| September | |
| 15/9 | Canal Trip from the Trevor Basin. From the Trevor Basin, which is about 3
miles north of Chirk. Each boat will take
ten people. There are three boats
available at a cost of £155 each. That’s just
£15.50 per person. There are pubs
available for food and drinks, and we can take
picnics to keep the cost of the food down.
We can still stop off for a pint or a G&T as
we glide along the canal.
The barges have indoor and outdoor seating, a small gally area and a toilet. |
