Booking tips

Buy your ticket first, then book travel and a hotel with a free-cancellation rate.
For two-night cities, staying both nights is rarely necessary; one show is enough.
Book trains early: advance fares are usually cheapest and sell out for popular dates.
Hotels in popular cities such as Edinburgh and Bath can fill quickly, so book a refundable room as soon as you have tickets.
