Book a City Break in Salisbury

Salisbury Cathedral from above

Escape the Everyday in 2021 with a city break to Salisbury. Discover a traditional, original city where modern culture entwines with centuries of history. Enjoy post-lockdown get-togethers with friends in peaceful pub beer gardens, take the kids on adventures, and make time to treat yourself to all the things you’ve been missing over the past year. Reconnect with the places and things you love on a city break in Salisbury.

All legal lockdown restrictions have now been lifted in England. However, some venues may choose to keep requirements around social distancing or mask wearing to keep visitors and staff safe; please check with individual venues for more information.

Things to Do on a Salisbury City Break

Enjoy both the traditional and the original on your trip to Salisbury. Get up early to see the sunrise over the mysterious ancient monument of Stonehenge, or stay up late listening to live music and sipping cocktails in the city centre. Take a leisurely stroll through the unspoilt watermeadows or get the adrenaline going with a tandem skydive over Salisbury Plain. Explore historic houses before pitting yourself against a fun escape room. Wander through medieval streets and the cloisters of the 800-year-old Cathedral then step inside an art gallery or head to the theatre for a night of culture. Whatever your interests, you will find plenty of things to do to keep you busy during your trip.
