Enjoy a luxurious trip aboard the Belmond British Pullman to the Althorp Estate,
Indulge for the day with this trip to the Althorp Estate, on board the Belmond British Pullman
This unique day out in the Northamptonshire countryside includes two very special experiences for BBC Good Food readers. The first is a glamorous journey to Althorp, one of the UK’S finest stately homes, on board one of the world’s most iconic trains. The 11 elegant Art Deco carriages of the Belmond British Pullman will transport you back in time to the golden age of travel, making your return trip to London Victoria station as incredible as the destination. You’ll enjoy an extravagant three-course brunch aboard this ‘palace on wheels’ on the way to Althorp, then a champagne reception and four-course dinner on your return trip.
The second experience will be a personal welcome by Earl Charles Spencer when you arrive at Althorp, which will be closed to the general public. Earl Spencer will give a private talk, and let you explore the house and grounds. ‘Althorp was built for entertainment, and guests will find themselves entertained and informed,’ says Earl Spencer. ‘I look forward to welcoming you and talking about my book, The White Ship (out in September)
– a non-fiction royal tragedy from centuries ago.’
Book now for £620 per person*, and enjoy a day of luxury as you take in the British countryside before arriving at this beautiful stately home.
