Catch up on all the latest from around the county Nearlywed NEWS GET AWAY 2020 has certainly not been a year any of us would wish to repeat with so many dreams being put on hold. If government guidelines and ongoing changes mean you’ve scaled down your “I dos” and are now looking for a different way to celebrate with your nearest and dearest until you can all get together for a bigger bash when restrictions are lifted, have you considered just getting away from it all? Why not combine your honeymoon with a post-ceremony celebration? Nikki Curran of Kent’s NC Travel says, “There are so many opportunities from a rock-star styled party at the Hard Rock Tenerife; to the more exotic locations of Mexico’s beaches or the Caribbean and Indian Ocean; and for something closer to home, a traditional village or vineyard in Cyprus.” Nikki has a wide variety of options to suit you, whatever your budget. She’s also currently offering some excellent free-gifts when you book your honeymoon with NC Travel including: a leather-style ticket wallet with luggage labels, a pack of travel bottles for use in your hand luggage and a complimentary parking or lounge pass (terms and conditions and minimum spend applies). Simply quote YKW Winter 2021 when booking. For further details get in touch on 07856 872 978 or email nctravel@travel-pa.com.
