There’s an exciting moment when a new journey begins with a spark of inspiration. So this Sunday, make plans to visit The Wellbeing Farm in Edgworth for a unique Authentic Adventures travel showcase hosted by Dan Hyams, a Travel Counsellor.
Get ready for travel dreams and family fun to come together for an inspiring afternoon at the farm.
Set against the rolling backdrop of the Lancashire hills, this Travel Showcase and Family Afternoon is not your typical holiday event. Created by Dan, the event brought together several travel professsionals and a brings a refreshing perspective to travel – one that goes beyond ticking destinations off a list and instead focuses on meaningful experiences, cultural connection and responsible exploration.
The event will feature talks from representatives from Abercrombie and Kent, Explore, Inn Travel, Quark Expeditions, Inside Travel Group and Zuri Adventures.
Bring the whole family. Meet the friendly alpacas wandering the grounds, pause for an ice cream between activities, and get creative painting pebbles and plant pots at the Little Gardeners stand.
The day is informal and guests can dip in and out of short discovery talks designed to transport them across continents without leaving their seats.
The destinations themselves read like the pages of a well-thumbed travel journal. One moment you might be hearing about the thrill of tracking mountain gorillas through misty Ugandan forests; the next, discovering the quiet beauty of Japan’s hidden regions or the satisfaction of walking lesser-known European trails far from the crowds. For those drawn to colder frontiers, tales of expedition cruising through the Polar regions offer a reminder that adventure still exists at the edges of the map.
What makes this showcase different is its emphasis on travel that feels personal and purposeful. Conversations are encouraged, questions welcomed, and ideas shared freely – without pressure or hard selling. Experienced travel specialists will be on hand throughout the afternoon to help visitors shape their thoughts into plans, whether that means a once-in-a-lifetime safari, a cultural journey across Asia, or a slower, more thoughtful escape closer to home.
Don’t miss out on a fantastic raffle with a four-night adventure to Alicante, an M&S Afternoon tea, a Fortnum and Mason Hamper, wine and travel goodies, Lancashire County Cricket Tickets, a Premium Sake gift set and much, much more. All money goes towards raising money for the Travel Foundation and all the great work they do .
Timing is perfect as global travel patterns shift and travellers seek reassurance, flexibility, and authenticity. Destinations like Greece are seeing renewed interest, while smaller adventures—such as wildlife encounters and cultural experiences—attract those seeking more than a standard beach vacation.
Ultimately, this Sunday’s event is about possibility. It’s about wandering into a room with curiosity and leaving with a head full of ideas – perhaps even the beginnings of your next great story.
Because the best journeys rarely start with a suitcase. They start with inspiration.
Tickets are limited. Bring the family, bring your curiosity, and leave with ideas for your next adventure.
