For the eighth year, four nights bed, breakfast, evening meal and a full program of entertainment included.

Pictures and reports from this year are available on both Mansfield and Sherwood web sites.

I am in receipt of a price and I have done a pricing for the holiday, taking into account we have the whole hotel to fill. Prices range from £192 for standard to £262 for a Historic Suite.

To make provisional booking send me an email on Thoresby2013@yahoo.com with name, address, telephone number, room(s) required and special requests if any. If you send an email and do not get a reply in three days, blame the computer and ring me. If you do not have email, ring (BEFORE 9pm)
This break is available to members of U3A but friends are allowed to join in if there is space. First come first served.
