WE CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF SOLENT EVENTS IN 2021
“As the proud owner and founder of Solent Events & Leisure, I love to share my travel experiences with those who may not normally venture very far, for one reason or another. As I personally escort every trip & tour, you will be looked after you every step of the way, especially if you travel on your own. The UK is a wonderful place and the rest of the world is a magnet to explore. To travel near and far ‘in friendly company’ is definitely the best way to experience it all, so please do join us!” ~  Lin Wilson

With a hotel and leisure industry background, Lin founded Solent Events & Leisure in 1991 with the sole purpose of providing local adults with totally reliable, hassle-free experiences to fill their leisure time, with personally organised & personally escorted Luxury Theatre Trips & Away-Days. We expanded our portfolio to Europe and the rest of the world in 2007 with reliable, trusted Tour Operators, who for your total protection and financial security, are fully bonded.

We aim to provide a completely personal,  professional service with a top class quality that you can always rely upon. There’s no need to travel on your own, as both solo travellers & couples are most welcome. If you need a ‘sharer’, we can normally find one for you too! Please join us for a safe, fun and hassle-free experience with friendly, local companions.

THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL IN THESE DIFFICULT & VERY DIFFERENT DAYS AHEAD is with a fully escorted, professional and safety conscious company – THAT’S US! It’s EASY to book. It’s EASY to pay. It’s EASY to connect. READ MORE ABOUT US  including FAQs below:

AFTER LOCKDOWN ….   
As we emerge from Lockdown during April, May & July, we will still follow any COVID-19 safety guidelines current at the time.
To ensure all our guests are happy to travel in company again, all guests booking with Solent Events will also need to have had their first vaccine.

Our Coaches: Our 54-seater luxury executive coaches was accommodating 37 passengers during the Covid-19 restrictions, but we’re hoping this will be lifted by 21 June. During restrictions you will be  socially-distanced from other passengers eg: a solo traveller will seat in a double seat by the window (offside), a couple or pair travelling together will sit side by side (nearside seats),  distanced by the aisle + one seat from your nearest neighbour. If current protocols still exist, all passengers will wear a face covering whilst on the coach and in venues visited (unless medically exempt). Hand sanitising will be actioned on the coach and at all stops. Frequent hand-washing will also be encouraged.
Currently our robust COVID secure protocols include meticulous operation of Hands, Face & Space rules. Covid-19 safe procedures will also be in place for all eateries, venues & hotels visited, but according to Boris’s new road-map, after 21 June,  most social distancing restrictions will have been lifted. Hurrah!

INTERESTED IN TRAVELLING, BUT  WAITING FOR YOUR VACCINE? PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ….
We have found that you are able to change & choose the date for your vaccine when you are invited, so please do not put your life on hold by ‘waiting’ for your 2nd vaccine date!

 * HOW WE COPED AT THE END OF 2020 *

We were one of a handful of Travel & event companies to take the plunge and get going in 2020. Our Away-Days and a UK Tour were slowly and safely  introduced last September, but just as were enjoying ourselves, Lockdown 2 was forced on us in November and once again just as Christmas week began – stopping us in our tracks!
So what did we manage to do in December …. 

Against all the odds, we still managed to share some pre-Christmas cheer with our Privilege Club Members Lunch (now called CLUB-21)  at The Alverbank Hotel  and our special Away-Day to  ‘Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens Illuminated’. We also managed to take our Tier 2 clients to a wonderful performance of the uplifting Christmas Crackers Show at the Mill at Sonning Dinner Theatre on 20 December. It was  a real tonic for everyone ……  proving it CAN be done safely! 

If you like what you see, why not join our CLUB-21 MEMBERS CLUB – there are some great benefits and at less than 65ppp per week you will not be disappointed! See our TRAVEL CLUBS page
