Singing Holidays 2027 · First refusal

.

You're one of 312 people seeing 2027 first.

Everyone on this page has sung with us before. Nobody else has seen next year's holidays: not the website, not the newsletter, not the people who keep asking. Eight holidays, and 177 places between them, which is fewer places than there are of you. That's why we're asking you first.

Nothing is open yet and nothing is for sale. If one of them makes you think "that one", say so. When it opens you'll have a week to book before anyone else hears about it; after that it goes to the wider list, and most of our holidays sell out. Nothing to pay and nothing to decide today. Saying so is a nod, not a promise.

Put your name down.

We'll write when each holiday you've chosen opens, and hold the door for a week.

We have your name and email from your link, so the bar at the foot of the page does it in one press. This form is here if you'd rather.

Or the whole season?
A room, if you know already

Or none, if you're not sure yet.

Anything else to tell us?

Noted.

Thank you.

We'll write when each one opens, and not before. If you'd like to bring someone, or have a question, just reply to the email that's on its way.
