VISIT TO WELLS CATHEDRAL AND BISHOP’S PALACE AND GARDENS
WEDNESDAY 03 July 2024
A visit is planned to the Wells Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace and Gardens on Wednesday 03 July 2024.
Once we arrive at Wells Cathedral we will have a short comfort break and a one-hour general highlights guided tour will commence at 11:15. The Cathedral does have a café, the Loft Café, which offers a variety of snacks and light meals. Participants will be able to choose this or one of several nearby venues for lunch. After lunch we will gather at the adjacent Bishop’s Palace and Gardens where we will commence a guided tour of the buildings and gardens at 14:00 for one hour.
This will be a minibus trip and we should all meet at Wickes carpark by 08:45 for departure before 09:00. The drive is expected to take at least 1 ½ hours. The return trip will depart from Wells by 15:30 and we expect to return to Wickes carpark shortly after 17:00.
Should the number of members wishing to book this outing exceed the capacity of the minibus (16 passengers), we will consider accommodating some in a self-drive option (assuming there are willing derivers able to offer lifts). The cost of the outing for those traveling by car will be adjusted accordingly.
Suitable, comfortable footwear is essential for this activity. Please also bring a coat as we will be outside for parts of the tour.
The cost of the visit is £28 per person which includes transport, joint entry ticket and guided tours at both venues. It does not include lunch and other refreshments. Names will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
