Go Whittle! Our Centenary Celebrations in Bournemo
Monday 23rd-Friday 27th March 26 A 5 Day Tour to Go-Whittle-Our-Centenary-Celebrations-in-Bournemouth with Whittle Coaches
View Dates & BookGo Whittle! Our Centenary Celebrations in Bournemouth - 5 days (4 nights) Monday 23rd-Friday 27th March 2026
In the run up to Whittle’s 100th birthday, we asked Ron Whittle whether he could recall the first ever holidays operated under the Whittle banner. For several decades previously the company had transported workers, then day trippers. You couldn’t operate package tours without an ‘extended tour license’, however, one was acquired in 1970. The very first Whittles holiday destination was Bournemouth, so we thought it would be a great opportunity to book two coaches worth of accommodation at the lovely Suncliff Hotel in the Dorset resort. There will be entertainment in the evenings, including a birthday celebration with Whittles Centenary cake, with the Whittles team on hand to celebrate with you in style – just like the very first tour! Go Whittle!
