About us

I have been with Nicola on many of her trips to theatre days out and recently away to a beautiful holiday to Stratford (which I fully recommend). When I started I was a solo traveller, but Nicola included me in every thing with her to the cafe/meals so you were never alone. There were a few solo travellers that we have since all become good friends. Through Nicola I have had amazing times and been and done many things I wouldn't have. Nicola herself and her husband Neil go above and beyond to make sure everyone and everything runs smoothly. Thank you Nicola, who is also now another good friend, I look forward to my retirement and having many more trips with you.

I have been on many trips with Nicola over the past 2 years and I loved every one of them. They are very well organised, lots of planning goes into each of these trips from what time to pick up the coach from you preferred stop, to where you sit on the coach. Once you are on the coach you are informed roughly what time we should reach a destination. You are dropped off roughly close to the theatre or at a coach park and told to take either a photo of the coach registration number or a land mark to remember for when you pick up the coach later in the day. Nicola will help and guide you if you are not familiar with the area and they will take you there and point out a few reference points for you to remember when walking back to pick up the coach, as they might be seeing the show with you. All the trips I have done with Theatre Trips Essex, I have loved every one of them and I have made some wonderful and lovely friends on these trips and we have all come close. I cannot thank Nicola enough for what they do. Nicola puts her heart and soul into each of these trips and it can be stressful for her at times, so you can have a stress free time and enjoy the show or the experience.

Hola - I’ve been going on trips with theatre trips Essex for 2 years, and as a solo traveller and new to Essex it’s been a great way of meeting people! Nicola has introduced me to other solo travellers on the trips and we have become firm friends. Nicola offers such a wide variety of trips and not just theatre, there’s also days out and overnight mini breaks too. They are wonderfully well organised and excellent value for money, especially considering the travel there and back is also included. The coach drivers are always polite and get us home safely with easily accessible pick up and drop off points – no more hanging around for tubes and trains! The website is really easy to use and you get an immediate email confirmation. Well in advance of your show/trip you get emailed your pick up point and coach seat number and then a reminder again a few days before the show/trip. I cannot recommend Nicola and Theatre Trips Essex enough - thank you!
