David Ogden Holidays

David Ogden Holidays organizes coach trips from northwest England to destinations across the UK, Ireland, and continental Europe. Its catalog separates weekend breaks, short trips of two to five days, and longer itineraries of up to 13 days. It also includes seasonal holiday trips, breaks for solo travelers, river cruises, shows, and day excursions, with itineraries that vary by schedule.

The offering goes beyond coach travel. The company lists air trips to the Channel Islands from Liverpool Airport with home transfers included, according to its website. Pickups for day excursions are limited to the St Helens and Warrington area. Multi-day holidays normally depart from northwest England, though the company can arrange pickups at motorway service areas along the route for travelers from other places.

The website lets visitors browse and book online, review itineraries, and request a brochure. It also advertises coach hire for groups, plus pickup points, gift vouchers, and reservation support by phone and email. The catalog includes trips around Britain, Ireland, and several European countries; duration, destinations, included services, and departure arrangements depend on each trip, so travelers should read the individual itinerary before booking.

The company says it belongs to the Bonded Coach Holiday Group, a UK government-approved consumer protection scheme covering customers’ money in connection with the package coach holidays described on its website. It also states that David Ogden Holidays acts as an appointed representative of Wrightsure Services (Hampshire) Limited, which is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This describes its regulatory relationship and holiday protection, rather than a guarantee about any individual itinerary.

The Baxters Lane office in Sutton, St Helens, is the company’s contact point for reservations and inquiries; no weekly opening schedule is published here. Its mix of coach holidays, air trips, short breaks, and day excursions lets travelers choose anything from a day out to a journey lasting nearly two weeks. Local pickup has defined geographic limits, while route pickups broaden the options for travelers who live farther away.
