When it comes to England and Winter, not many people think of hiring a motorhome in the festive period, but there is plenty to see and do even in the colder winter months on a motorhome hire holiday!  So whether you want to see spectacular Christmas lights or even take part in some quirky Yuletide themed events we have something for everyone.

The Great Christmas Pudding Race

Not only is the Great Christmas Pudding Race a fine way to raise money for Cancer Research, it also is a lot of fun.  The premise is that teams of people compete in a short obstacle course/race around Covent Garden piazza in London, while trying to balance a Christmas pudding on a plate.  Another bonus is that you get to put on some fancy dress and of course raise money for charity, what’s not to like!

The Great Christmas Pudding Race takes place in London on the 3rd December.
