Shearings Holidays managing


director Jane Atkins said clients in the north of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland would now have an additional transport choice to join a four or seven-night

regional theatre shows around the UK to boost its theatre break programme following its decision to reintroduce London West End theatre shows in February. Regional shows, part of three


and four-night coach breaks, are now featured in Weston-super- Mare, Scarborough, Blackpool, Llandudno, Bournemouth,


Torquay and Manchester. shearingsagent.com
