From January 2025 we will be organising a trip out once a month. On the second Friday of every month. There will be a charge of £5 to book for each activity. You can book for only one activity each quarter so lots of people get a chance to join us on a trip.
The first 3 trips are:
British Museum Tea Party – 10 January, 12noon to 3pm. 11.50am meet your escort outside Starbucks directly opposite the Main Gate of the Museum, Great Russell Street, WC18 3DG. From the world-famous Egyptian mummies and the treasures of Sutton Hoo to the wonderful collection of the Islamic World, two million years of history awaits you at The British Museum. Join us to discover some of the treasures at a special Tea Party for Hounslow Seniors Trust. During this fun afternoon of object handling and exploration you will also have a selection of sandwiches and cakes to enjoy.
Orchid Festival Kew Gardens – 14 February, 11am meet your escort at Victoria Gate, Kew Gardens. Join us for a visit to Kew’s iconic Orchid Festival 2025.
