    This morning after breakfast we make a visit to the pretty shopping village of Blakemere Village, where there is a unique collection of independent boutiques gathered around a quaint courtyard, a popular craft workshop and plenty of tempting food and drink outlets.

    We’ll then drive into the past at theWeaver Hall Museum & Workhouse, where stories of Cheshire's social history come to life. We have an interesting welcome talk and introductory film as well as tea and coffee. Set within the old Northwich Union Workhouse building, the museum explores the impact local manufacturing has had on people living in Northwich and the surrounding areas.

    We arrive back to the hotel later with time to relax before dinner this evening.

    At Jones Holidays, we believe solo travellers deserve fair prices and peace of mind. That's why our Single Supplement Price Promise ensures you only pay what we pay—nothing more, nothing less. If hotels charge us a single supplement, we’ll pass it on without adding a penny extra; that’s our promise to you.

    Rooms are allocated on a first come first served basis and are limited. If no single supplement applies this is limited to the tour single room allocation and therefore additional cost may apply. Prices displayed are per person unless otherwise stated. If door-to-door pick-up is included there may be additional charges for out of area. Itineraries and hotel inclusions may be subject to change. Seat numbers on the coach may be subject to change. Issues whilst on tour must be raised in the first instance with the driver. Covid-19 restrictions may apply. When making bookings you accept on behalf of yourself and your party the terms in our Trading Charter which can be found in our brochure, on our website at http://www.jonesholidays.co.uk/Jones-holidays-trading-charter, or a copy can be requested from our Sales office. If your holiday is more than 56 days from departure, we offer a 7-day cooling off period where a full refund will be offered from the date of the initial confirmation invoice (with the exception of flight holidays).
