Thomas Cook and Victorian Tourism

Thomas Cook pioneered the organized tour holiday. He

founded his international travel company in 1841, and by

1873 had organised and led the first round-the-world tour.

Join Paul Smith, archivist at Thomas Cook, to discover more

about the development of the modern travel industry.

This is a free event - donations welcome.

Booking required - tickets available from

We would like to give Philip Miles and his team a huge vote

of thanks for what was a really superb afternoon at Buckden

Festival. There was something for everyone to enjoy, includ-

ing plenty of amusements to keep the children - both young

and old - very happy. It takes many hours of hard work to

organise such an event and the team excelled themselves

this year. Our sincere thanks to all those involved.

Definitely the best Buckden Festival to date.

Joan and Dave Felton
