Join the Belmond British Pullman for a special day out

Belmond British Pullman

Your initial glance heightens the anticipation: carriages gleaming in umber and cream livery, stewards resplendent in their immaculate uniforms, while they wait for you to board the train., video: belmond british pullman.

This is the Belmond British Pullman (sister train of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express) , the most stately of trains. It's like stepping back in time. Because, over a century ago, George Mortimer Pullman, the originator, recognised that his passengers would be accustomed to unrestrained luxury and comfort. And, in order to accommodate them, he issued orders to the finest craftsmen of the day to construct in his words "Palaces on Wheels". His instructions were honoured in every respect.

Your steward will show you to your reserved seat in one of eleven carriages, each an original masterpiece from the 1920's or 1930's with their own name and unique personality.

On board passengers are seated in either ‘coupé’s (small compartments seating up to four people) or in the open car mostly at tables for two. There is a limited number of single tables and of tables for three persons in the open car.

The train can carry up to 226 passengers and consists of 10 parlour cars, of which 5 are kitchen cars, and a service car. The carriages seat between 20 and 26 passengers in each.

Superb Service

The service, like your journey, will be calm and unruffled. Settle back into your deeply comfortable seat and be transported into another age while Britain's glorious countryside unfolds past your window.

Step aboard and return to an age of luxury, comfort and glamour, when service was always impeccable and life was lived at a less hurried pace; the quintessential Venice Simplon-Orient-Express experience. Plush upholstery awaits, surrounded by intricate marquetry, mosaic floors, solid brass fittings and softly-shaded lamps. Your table is set with starched white cloths, shining silver and glittering glass. The cuisine is a delight and accompanied by wines judiciously chosen to complement the fine food.

Best immersive experiences around the UK

Enjoy a day out that's an all-embracing treat for the senses

  • Newsletter sign up Newsletter

Avatars of Abba members Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus performing at Abba Voyage

Abba Voyage, London

Chaos karts, manchester, otherworld, london and birmingham, the murdér express, london, dopamine land, london, van gogh: the immersive experience, london, wake the tiger, bristol.

Escape the everyday with a day out that engages all the senses. Here's our pick of the best immersive experiences in the UK.

Opening in 2022 and currently booking until 2025, Abba Voyage is a virtual residency by the Swedish supergroup, with digital avatars of the four band members taking to the stage. Watching them "it's almost impossible to tell you're not watching human beings", said Alexis Petridis in The Guardian . "By the time the show hits its finale with Thank You For The Music followed by Dancing Queen, any lingering sense that you're not actually in the presence of Abba has dissolved." The digital show "genuinely creates a sense of personality and connection", said Neil McCormick in The Telegraph . However, does it spell the end for live performance, he wonders. "One day, if we're not careful, all gigs will be like this."

Experiencing the UK's first live-action video game karting experience "honestly feels like you're inside a game of Mario Kart", said the Manchester Evening News . The players and karts are real, and you "whizz around an actual track", but that track changes constantly "as it's projected onto the floor along with the rest of the landscape that surrounds you". The absence of high-tech equipment is a bonus: "to truly be immersed in the virtual world without the need for an annoying headset or a screen is quite something". There are no helmets either but "the experience is incredibly safe", said The Irish Sun , "with built-in collision-reduction technology and other high tech safety features".

This "award-winning attraction", which is also coming soon to Manchester and Edinburgh, has been described as the "ultimate interactive gaming experience, where punters feel like they're part of an immersive world", said The Sun . Visitors have their own "multi-sensory Immersion Pod", where they don their VR kit to experience other worlds. Scenarios include The Island, with 16 experiences, including "a zombie apocalypse, desert, the open sea, jungle and more", all enhanced by "temperature, wind and rumble effects", which help to make the VR experience "as immersive as possible", said Radio Times .

In a homage to "Murder on the Orient Express", this immersive dinner show, departing from the fictitious Pedley Street Station, sees guests cast as "train passengers in the glamorous golden age of rail, with a mystery to be solved", said Time Out . Enjoy a "delicious four-course meal with a side of theatrical flair", said Secret London , on this upmarket night out, where you're encouraged to dress in period costume. "But don't let yourself be swept up in the luxury," said the website, because this is The Murdér Express and "danger could be lurking in every immaculate corner". 

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that has a role in feeling pleasure, and Dopamine Land is a multisensory experience combining media, technology and play, designed to channel the imagination of your inner child, enabling you to shed adult-world stress. Featuring "colourful installations, visual effects and moving projections" Dopamine Land has a "series of unique and enchanting rooms", including a "pillow-fight room, a digital forest, and a ballpit" to explore, said Secret London . "There really is no better place to release your inner child," said Stylist , "whether you want to unplug from the world in the decompression room or immerse yourself in the limitless light space."

Currently in London, Leicester and York, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience has been touring the world, and has been seen by more than a million people. The show explores the painter's life and work. "A virtual-reality experience and 3D animated paintings are used to shed new light on his art," said the London Evening Standard . "The multisensory journey through these famous bodies of work" makes for an "entirely new way of experiencing art, bringing every stunning detail to life like never before", said Secret London .

Billed as an "amazement park", visitors "face a multilayered maze of immersive environments, secret passageways, hidden forests, temples, ice caves and mesmerising wonders", said The Sun . The fun begins with "actors pretending to be sales assistants" who start you on a journey leading to a "parallel dimension that is triggered by a radioactive tree", said the Bristol Post . There are over 40 spaces, all connected by a maze, "curated as a sensory experience that heightens sound, sight and hearing" with "lots of secret passages and puzzles to work out". Along the way there are "mind-altering light displays and visual effects that make you feel like you're walking through space".

Leo Varadkar denies softening language on Gaza during US trip

The Irish premier has said he will use the platform of St Patrick’s Day to press US President Joe Biden to back a ceasefire in the Middle East.

day trips in uk on orient express

The Irish premier has denied softening his language on Gaza throughout his week-long series of engagements in the US.

Leo Varadkar has said he will use the special platform of St Patrick’s Day to press US President Joe Biden to back a ceasefire in the Middle East.

He has referenced the conflict during several speeches in Boston and Washington, DC, as part of a week of engagements which will include meetings with Mr Biden.

At the start of the week in Boston, Mr Varadkar told the crowd that “innocent men, women and children” in Gaza should not be subject to collective punishment.

Taoiseach visit to the US

He told the audience that “no-one can avert their eyes” from the deaths of thousands of children in Gaza.

However, during an address at the Ireland Funds gala in Washington on Wednesday, Mr Varadkar said that Palestinian civilians are being subject to “humiliation and starvation” during the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Asked by reporters on Thursday if his use of the term “humiliation” rather than explicit references to death was an indication of rolling back his rhetoric, Mr Varadkar said: “No, not at all.”

He said he would not be softening his tone or language on the issue but said there was a need to tailor messaging to specific audiences.

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t say here that I wouldn’t say back home.

“But I think any time you speak to any audience, or any time you go anywhere in the world, you know, we have to get the tone right and tailor the message for the audience.”

He added: “What I said back home, about Palestine and Gaza, I’ll be saying here too and I think I’ve used the term collective punishment in relation to Palestinians.

“And we all know what that means, it’s a violation of international humanitarian law.”

Mr Varadkar’s Washington comments on Gaza also received a more lukewarm reception than preceding remarks on continued support for Ukraine.

Asked if he believed the reception to the comments was an indicator that it was going to be difficult to raise the Middle East conflict with Mr Biden, Mr Varadkar said: “I suppose it depends on the audience.

“I was really encouraged by the response in terms of what I had to say about Ukraine because we need America in this battle to save Ukrainian democracy and sovereignty and independence, and I don’t think the war will stop in Ukraine.

“If Ukraine falls, Putin will have another target – and there’s a number of European prime ministers in town today, I’m not the only one, and we’re very much trying to put that message across to our American friends.

“If Putin is successful in Ukraine, he will at some point test Nato, and the consequences then for all of us are very serious.

“So I’m very keen to use any opportunity I have to speak to US Congressional leaders in particular about getting the legislation passed to provide the funding and support for Ukraine that it needs.

“I appreciate that there will be difference of opinions in relation to Israel and Gaza – you know, there’s very strong historic support for Israel in the US, for lots of different reasons, but that’s not going to deflect me from saying what I feel needs to be said.”

Mr Varadkar said there had not been any negative reaction to his remarks on Gaza during the trip so far.
