Storyline Journeys

Diane and Michael have over ten years experience in running and hosting sophisticated cultural events with a difference, throughout Europe.

Highlights have included the much acclaimed William Wordsworth experience - a weekend organised for twenty-five guests in the Lake District where the great poet grew up - with a specially devised talk given by the director of the Wordsworth Trust on Wordsworth’s autobiographical poem, The Prelude. The setting was a beautiful room with panoramic views of Ullswater Lake. Equally memorable was a Theatre Weekend in Shakespeare’s Stratford upon Avon with good food and wine at a four star hotel. A Royal Shakespeare Company actor injected originality and humour into a wonderful guided tour of Stratford itself and a superb performance of Henry IV Part 2 completed the weekend. On another occasion, at Vienna’s Hofburg Palace a group of twenty guests in white tie and tails danced the night away. This was preceded by a special dinner at the renowned Anna Restaurant at the Sacher Hotel.

When you explore the UK with Storyline it will be an adventure. Not only will you be doing it in style, with luxury coach transport to and from your hotel and good food and wine at the various venues, these unique cultural experiences will stay with you long after you leave for home. All within striking distance of London (or in London itself), our visits take no more than a full day, an afternoon or an evening.

In bringing authors and great historical figures to life, Storyline Journeys is able to offer a unique and original package for the sophisticated visitor.
