So much to do! So little time!

Spend your time relaxing or having fun, not traipsing round the agencies. Select from the opportunities on this page for leisure and excitement, all excellent value and all bookable online. Leisure hotels, theatre tickets, Thames cruise, even the London Eye: the links are all here.

Warner Leisure hotels, winner of 'Hotel Chain of the Year 2008', are not just for the overnight stay. They are luxurious, relaxing retreats, some of them listed buildings, all with pools and other facilities to make your stay a holiday, however brief. They can also offer a spa break or an activity break that will give you a chance to try that hobby or pastime that you never had time to try at home. Opportunities include music, song and dance, sports, pampering, drawing, digital photography, computers for beginners to name just a few.

Macdonald hotels and resorts have a larger number of venues, also offering luxurious accommodation with the option of extras including spa and sporting breaks. Best Western have 4000 more traditional, high quality hotels for business and leisure stays in 80 countries including 290 key locations in the UK. They guarantee that booking through their site will get you the best price for a stay at one of their hotels.

If you prefer your own company rather than sharing a hotel roof with strangers, then a holiday house or cottage could be the answer. Helpful holidays have around 650 to choose from in the extreme south-west of England: most sizes and a good range of prices for a week away. Some properties are also available for shorter breaks. Blue Chip Vacations have about the same number of apartments, town houses and traditional holiday cottages in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset.

Travel

Taking a break away is always fun, but getting there isn't, especially if you have to drive. National Express have coach services that will take you virtually anywhere. It is easy to find out from their web site whether they have a service to where you want to go, how long it would take and how much it would cost.

Travelling by train is fine, but choosing the right ticket can be really complicated - there are so many options. The way to make it simpler is to book via thetrainline or raileasy. Like other rail scheduling web sites, they find your train and tell you what you need to know about the journey time, train changes and so on. They also tell you about the ticket and fares options. Prebooking through one of these sites can save around 40% compared with buying your ticket at the station.

Journey Planner

For the theatre, including musicals and plays, London Theatre Direct have just about everything, with or without a meal. Tickets for many shows are heavily discounted - not just the shows no-one has heard of, but the major shows such as Chicago and We Will Rock You. They also sell tickets for exhibitions and tours, including Thames cruises.

For interests over a wider area, Attractiontix supply tickets online to attractions and theme parks in the UK and abroad, including Buckingham Palace, Disneyland Paris, Florida and California and other major attractions in New York, Florida, Las Vegas, California, Europe and the UK.

Probably the best known and worth trying for all your ticket needs are Ticketmaster. They can provide tickets for all kinds of shows and events and their web site has a number of guides to shows and attractions at home and abroad.

If you want a ticket for an event - sporting, music, or anything else, but they are sold out, it is worth trying Get Me In. They buy and sell tickets to all sorts of events but, unlike anonymous touts and Ebay sellers, they are part of, and wholly owned by, Ticketmaster and guarantee authenticity.
