Lucketts Travel launches new coach day excursion programme across Hampshire

One of the South Coast’s most recognisable coach operators is continuing its centenary celebrations by returning to one of its traditional strengths - the launch of a brand-new programme of coach day excursions.

Lucketts Travel, part of The Coach Travel Group has unveiled more than 65 new day trips running from September 2026 through to March 2027, marking another significant milestone in the company’s 100th anniversary year.

The relaunch follows the successful return of Lucketts holidays earlier this year and reflects a wider strategy by The Coach Travel Group to restore and invest in the heritage of one of the UK’s best-known coaching brands.

The new programme features a wide variety of leisure travel experiences, including heritage attractions, coastal destinations, shopping trips, festive markets, theatre shows and seasonal events, with departures available from across Hampshire.

Since becoming part of The Coach Travel Group, Lucketts has been steadily re-establishing the products and services that built its reputation over generations.

The company has already reintroduced its holiday programme and home pick-up service, and the launch of a dedicated day excursion programme represents another major step in reconnecting the business with its long-standing customer base.

Jiten Desai, Commercial Director at Lucketts Travel, said:

“Celebrating Lucketts’ 100th anniversary has given us the perfect opportunity to reintroduce services that have been at the heart of the business for generations.

The return of our Day Excursions programme is another important milestone, following the successful relaunch of our holidays earlier this year. With the support and investment of The Coach Travel Group, we’re proud to be restoring Lucketts to its roots while continuing to modernise the business for the future.”

The programme has been designed to appeal to loyal returning customers while attracting a new generation of travellers looking for convenient, sustainable and affordable leisure travel.

The relaunch highlights the benefits of operating within The Coach Travel Group, allowing Lucketts to combine its trusted local identity with the operational strength, investment and expertise of one of the UK’s largest coach travel groups.

As Lucketts celebrates its centenary throughout 2026, the return of both holidays and day excursions signals a business focused on the future while remaining proud of its heritage.

The new Day Excursions brochure is available now, with bookings open by telephone and online.
