GLT Reader Club

Organising group trips and holidays can be hard enough, but how do you know if an attraction or destination is suitable unless you’ve been there yourself?

Through our special reader familiarisation trips, you can try before you buy. We’ve been offering readers of Group Leisure & Travel exclusive opportunities across Britain and abroad since 1996, made many new friends and had lots of fun.

If you regularly organise group trips and holidays we’d love you to join us on a future Reader Club familiarisation trip. 

All we ask is that the trip is suitable for the groups of people you organise for and that you are seriously considering it as a future group visit.

Read our Trip Reviews to see where we’ve been and what we’ve seen up until now, with comments from readers to get their view.

What's Coming Up?

Dover Castle

Unlocking Dover Castle on our special reader day

We’ve teamed up with English Heritage to offer this free familiarisation trip to Dover Castle in Kent on 18th March for guided tours, a cream tea and more.

HF Holidays walking group

Step forward: join us for a two-night Reader Club walking holiday

Join us for a familiarisation to the stunning Yorkshire Dales, staying at HF Holidays’ Newfield Hall with guided walks, great food and two dates to choose from in February 2027.

“I look forward to doing further fam trips if the destinations suit my group, as after nearly 30 years of offering holidays etc., it is becoming more difficult to find original ideas and some of my group have been with me that long.”

Pat Disley, Theatreplus (Reader Club attendee)

“We would strongly encourage any attraction or destination considering hosting a Readers’ Trip to take the opportunity, you won’t regret it. The value goes far beyond the event itself, creating meaningful connections…”

Paul Brandwood, The Royal Mint Experience
