Warner Breaks

 Adult only Historic and Character Hotel

 

As you look through this year’s brochure you will find we have included six 5-day holidays at Warner Historic or Character Hotels

Many of our customers have stayed at Warner hotels in the past and we have been asked on several occasions “Why don’t you do Warner holidays?”

Well now we do. Those that have asked have been very enthusiastic about there experiences at Warner’s and this is what the Warner brochure says:

Extracts from the Warner brochure.

What makes a Warner break so special –

We call it the Warner Breaks spirit and we like to think it’s unique to us. We’re not sure if it’s because our breaks are for adults only? or because our live entertainment, dinner and breakfast are all part of the package? Whatever it is, it’s clear that your only responsibility when you’re with us, is to have a good time.

Night after night we have great live entertainment line up for you.

“The entertainment team are so enthusiastic, they put on a great performance time and time again.”

“Warner Breaks properties are wonderful places, with great facilities, great teams and wonderful audiences.”

Duncan Norvelle

“There is so much to do and so little time, you wont no where to start”  The People

“A great setting, beautiful food, first class service and superb entertainment.”

Midland weekly Media Group

“Taking a Warner break is a real tonic. What with the glorious relaxing country or seaside setting of their lovely hotels or resorts, lots of live entertainment, dancing, swimming, sporty leisure activities and good food it’s far more than just staying at any hotel.”

Oberammergau

Passion Play 2010

 

 

 The world-famous Passion Play in Oberammergau , traditionally held every 10 years is due to be performed again throughout the summer of 2010.

It all began back in 1633 when Bavaria was being swept by plague. The elders of Oberammergau swore that if the village was purged of the plague then they would perform the “Play of suffering, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ” every 10 years. The epidemic ended in 1634 and they fulfilled their pledge for the first time on a stage they put up in the cemetery above the fresh graves of the plague victims. In the year 2000 the community of Oberammergau performed the Passion Play they had preserved through the centuries for the 40th time.

2010 therefore sees the 41st Passion Play and although traditions of the past will still be highly visible there will be some fundamental changes for the 2010 performances. The first performance will be on 15th May 2010 and the final performance on 3rd October 2010. The play will be performed into the evening, part .1. from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm and part .2. from 8:00 pm to 10:30. Dinner will be held in the intermission.

It is planned that the play will run 5 times a week on the following days, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
