We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

Schützenfest - Hanover Beer Festival

July brings with it the start of the world's biggest shooting festival in Hanover. At the Schützenfest visitors can expect a colourful assortment of shooting sports, traditional and racy fairground rides, lots of tasty delicacies from a range of around 80 various gastronomic facilities before going on to enjoy a fantastic line-up of lively entertainment events. The Hanover beer festival is famous for the beer known locally as the 'Lüttje Lage' which is in plentiful supply and is available from all the lively party tents. In the main tent you will find a hearty atmosphere with traditional music with all the latest chart hits being played in the other festival tents. This bespoke event may not be as large as the neighbouring Berlin Beer Festival, but instead aims to present the values and traditions of German life and cuisine.

Schützenfest

A highlight of the Hanover shooting match at Schützenfest is the parade of the Marksmen through the city centre that is more than a kilometre long. More than 10,000 participants from shooting clubs, brass bands from all over the world, many decorated parade floats and horse-drawn carriages all culminate in forming the longest parade in Europe with thousands of spectators.
