Richard Taylor Travel Day Trips Grand Opening 28th March 2026
The excitement had been building for weeks, and on 28th March 2026, it all came together in spectacular fashion as Richard Taylor Travel officially opened the doors to its brand-new day trips shop in the heart of Hitchin town centre.
What started as a vision had quickly turned into reality, with every detail carefully planned to ensure a memorable launch not just for the business, but for the entire local community.
Run up to the opening day
The team worked tirelessly behind the scenes. From developing a comprehensive website packed with inspiring day trips and private hire options, to preparing the specialist farming services and equipment sales sections.
Meanwhile, the shop itself underwent a complete transformation. What was once an empty space was reimagined into a welcoming, modern travel hub designed with customers in mind.
Grand Opening Day
Opening day did not disappoint. Before the doors even opened, a queue of eager visitors had already formed, all excited to be among the first to explore the new store.
Residents from Baldock, Hitchin, Letchworth, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City were invited to step inside, browse the latest brochures, and speak directly with the friendly team about upcoming trips and experiences.
Adding to the buzz was a special incentive—an exclusive free trip to Blenheim Palace at Easter 2026 for the first 50 visitors. It’s safe to say this created plenty of excitement and set the tone for what was a truly memorable day.
Outside, two of the company’s coaches were proudly displayed along the high street, drawing attention and adding to the celebratory atmosphere. Inside, the Richard Taylor Travel team were on hand to greet visitors, answer questions, and share their passion for travel.
The response from the Hertfordshire community was nothing short of incredible. From loyal customers to curious newcomers, the support shown throughout the day was overwhelming. It was more than just a shop opening—it was a celebration of local spirit, new beginnings, and shared adventures ahead.
Richard Taylor Travel would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make the grand opening such a success. This is just the beginning, and the journey ahead promises to be an exciting one.
