Carer's Weekend to Portsmouth (2 nights) 21-23 March

Fancy a weekend away to recharge your batteries? Meet other members and socialise together? Why not come along to our next "Carer's Weekend"?
Portsmouth is the Great Waterfront City – packed with world-class attractions, fantastic things to do and a year-round programme of events, as well as home to Gunwharf Quays shopping centre. Escape to the UK's only island city, to explore miles of coastline and centuries of history - there's more to explore in '24!
What's more, Portsmouth is a very compact city, with many great attractions and venues mere metres from one another. This - twinned with the island's flat profile - makes it easy to walk wherever you want to go.
The Visit Portsmouth website is your one-stop resource for all the information you need to take an enjoyable city break.
Portsmouth is blessed with plenty of places to eat, drink and be merry – with global cuisine, local produce and a host of top-quality tipples. Our Food and Drink pages detail all the places you can enjoy wonderful restaurants, pubs and bars in the city – all of which will be much needed after a day spent exploring!
 
Staying at The Holiday Inn, Portsmouth, close to both the centre and the quayside, you will be provided with Bed & Breakfast for 2 nights, as well as transport to and from the venue.
The Holiday Inn has a spa facility with swimming pool, as well as offering bar snacks in the lobby, alongside a full menu in the restaurant... holidayinn_samplemenu.pdf (hiportsmouthhotel.co.uk)
