Bright Star TravelCoastal Day Trips from Sutton-in-Ashfield

A day by the sea or a longer coastal getaway, with the driving left to us. Skegness, Cleethorpes, Scarborough, Whitby, Bridlington, Blackpool — or anywhere else along the coast.

The best part of a day at the coast is not driving to it

The East Midlands is a long way from the sea and the drive is the bit nobody enjoys — the A52 in August, an hour circling for a space, then two hours home in the dark with sand everywhere and somebody asleep in the back.

We take the whole thing off you. You get picked up from your door, dropped as close to the front as the traffic allows, and collected at a time you choose. One price agreed before you go, however long the queue on the way back turns out to be.

Where we take you

🎡

Skegness & Cleethorpes

The classics from this part of the world and our most-booked coastal runs. Dropped near the front rather than a mile inland at an overflow car park.

⛱️

Scarborough, Whitby & Bridlington

A proper day out on the Yorkshire coast, and far easier as a fixed-price run than a drive there and back in one day.

🎢

Blackpool

Across to the west coast for the day or the weekend, with the same one-price-agreed-up-front arrangement.

🌊

Anywhere else on the coast

Those are the ones we do most. Tell us where you fancy and we will price it.

A day trip is not a taxi ride, so we do not price it like one

People assume a coach is the only affordable way to the coast, and then spend the day tied to somebody else's timetable. Split between a family or a group of friends, a car to yourselves often costs about the same and you go and come back when you like.

We agree the whole thing up front — the run there, the collection time, and the way home — so nobody is watching a meter on the seafront or wondering what the return is going to cost.

How to book your day at the coast

01

Tell us where and when

02

Pick day trip or holiday transfer

A day trip with wait and return, or a drop-off with collection after your holiday. Both priced up front.

03

We take you and collect you

Picked up at your door, dropped near the front, and collected where and when we agreed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you wait, or come back for us later?

Either — whichever suits the day. Tell us roughly when you would like to head home and we will agree a collection time and place when you book.

Can you collect us after a week away, not just a day trip?

Yes. As well as day trips with wait and return, we do drop-offs at the start of a holiday and collection at the end, both priced when you book.

How much is a day trip to Skegness?

It depends on the size of your group and the vehicle you need, so we give you one fixed price for the round trip before you travel. Use the booking form for a quote.

Can you take a big family or a group?

Yes. We have larger vehicles for bigger groups, so everyone travels together rather than splitting across cars.

How many passengers can you take?

One to eight. Tell us your numbers when you book and we will send the right vehicle, including a wheelchair accessible one if you need it.

What if the weather turns?

Let us know as early as you can and we will move the booking to another day rather than have you sit on a wet beach.

Can we go somewhere not on your list?

Yes. Those are just the ones we do most — tell us where you fancy and we will price it.

Is the price fixed if we get stuck in traffic?

Yes. The price is agreed before you set off, so a slow road home does not change what you pay.

No parking worries, no train delays — just a fixed price agreed before you go, from Sutton-in-Ashfield to the coast.
