An Evening of Travel Inspiration
Whether you are planning a luxury honeymoon, a family adventure, or simply looking for ideas for your next escape, this is the perfect place to start.
Enjoy a complimentary welcome drink while you mingle with fellow travel lovers.
We are bringing the world’s leading travel brands to Newport. Chat one-on-one with representatives from MSC Cruises, Olympic Holidays, APT Touring and more.
Take your seat for the main event. We will be hosting an exclusive, inspiring presentation taking you on a whistle-stop tour of the hottest destinations, emerging trends, and must-visit spots for 2026 and beyond.
We launched the holiday creators in August 2025 to bring personal, expert travel planning back to Newport.
We believe your holiday starts the moment you begin planning it. If you are tired of booking online and want advice from people who truly care about your trip, come along and say hello to Stuart, Chris, and the team.

Yes. While the event is free, numbers are strictly limited to ensure a comfortable experience. Please register in advance to secure your goody bag and entry into the prize draw.
What time should I arrive?
Doors open for the drinks reception at 6:30pm. We recommend arriving early to get a drink and a seat before the presentation begins. The event closes at 9:00pm.
Can I bring a friend?
