The tour didn’t stop at Wembley. Our guests embarked on exclusive tours of football meccas, including Old Trafford and Etihad Stadium, gaining insights into the respective legacies of these iconic arenas. Four nights’ hotel accommodation split between Novotel Manchester and Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village provided comfortable retreats in between the football spectacles. 

The Anfield stadium tour was a highlight for our diehard Liverpool FC fans, offering an intimate look at the club’s famous home, museum and huge superstore and cafe. That night, some guests opted to cross The Mersey to attend the hugely entertaining League Two clash between Tranmere Rovers and Doncaster Rovers. Sunrise heralded our return to Anfield where everyone enjoyed hospitality seating at one of the Premier League’s most sought-after encounters, the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and neighbouring rivals, Everton. The singing of Liverpool’s famous anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, was worth the admission fee on its own but we were also treated to goals, penalties and red cards. A truly unforgettable experience. Sunday was our casual, flexi-travel day. Some guests went to London, others to Yorkshire, while others travelled up to Scotland to watch Hearts entertain Celtic and to Birmingham to watch West Ham United take on Aston Villa.
