Holiday announcement for Autumn 2026
Studley Castle, Hardwick Lane,
Studley, Nr Stratford-upon-Avon, B80 7AJ
Monday 19th October to Friday 23rd October, 2026.
This is a unique destination with its roots in its Victorian past, but its eye very much on the here and now. Nearby are attractions such as Kenilworth Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds, Shakespeare’s birthplace in Warwickshire. Surrounding areas include the Cotswolds, the gardens of Herefordshire, Cotswolds Farm Park, Hill Close Gardens Trust, and Worcester City. Studley Castle’s story began in 1834 when Francis Lyttleton Holyoake, High Sheriff of Warwickshire, enlisted architect Samuel Beazley to design it and lavish it with Gothic Revival architecture. It was a grand family home for 70 years, then a women’s agricultural college and training camp for the Women’s Land Army during the two World Wars. In 2006, the building was converted to a country hotel, which was acquired by Warners in 2016. There is a spa consisting of swimming pool, bubble pool, sauna and steam room. The entertainment package for this break is MIDWEEK VARIETY, featuring one of the UK's most inventive comedy talents, Ben Nickless, and the Warner Theatre Co.
