SOME FANS PREFER to visit Memphis on the really big Anniversary years when the crowds are huge, the events more numerous and the atmosphere electric. Others just love the quieter years when the numbers are less but so are the queues, when Graceland, and indeed all the Elvis sights of Memphis and Tupelo, have a far more intimate feel about them. Such was the case in August 2008 and we're sure it will be similarly so in 2009 - absolutely ideal for those visiting Graceland for the first time or for 'old hands who wish to savour the experience to the full.

For 2009 we are going back to the 'rolling tour' concept - visiting New Orleans, Tupelo, Memphis, Nashville and Dollywood but also splitting it up so as to allow fans to take whichever sectors of the trip they want - for example Tour A will just be our traditional Tupelo and Memphis Tour, Tour B. will be New Orleans,Tupelo and Memphis, Tour C will be Tupelo,Memphis, Nashville and Dollywood and the whole thing, from New Orleans all the way to Dollywood, will be called 'the Grande Tour'.

Our holidays to the USA are much more than a mere vacation and whilst some will regard them as a pilgrimage (nothing wrong with that, given Elvis'impact on the world), others will consider them a journey of discovery - the chance to see the King Creole City of New Orleans and listen to some 'real'jazz, to learn more of Elvis' roots listening to gospel in Tupelo or blues in Memphis, seeing where he first appeared on the Grand Ole Opry or recorded some of his finest music in Nashville and then, finally, chilling out with some fun in one of America's finest theme parks at Dollywood.

Come and join us - you'll love it!

Elvis Party Event Mablethorpe 2009

Friday 18th September to Friday 25th September 2009
From just £109 per person

THE ELVIS PARTY EVENT at Mablethorpe is an annual extravaganza of all things Elvis - the biggest and best Elvis Festival in the UK and one that you really don't want to miss. Every year we say that it cannot possibly get better…and yet every year it does!

The week-long Event is just jam-packed with activities and entertainment. The days are busy with a whole array of options from quizzes, dance instruction, our special video vault, contests (including the brainteasing - and often hilarious - Fan Club Inter-Branch Challenge), karaoke, record request hours and jam sessions and, on most days, an afternoon feature artist. By night the main Ballroom pulsates to the sounds of our all-Elvis Disco and Star Cabaret. And for 2009 we are adding even more to our programme - there's a Free Draw in which one lucky person will receive a full refund of their holiday cost, we'll have a 'Best Decorated Caravan'Contest, our Fancy Dress Night will have a 'James Bond' theme (with all the trimmings!) and the Event will also feature the Finals of the Find Britain's Best Elvis Contest.

The Elvis Party Event is the UK's premier Elvis Holiday - professionally run for Elvis fans, by Elvis fans. No-one does it better or at such great value, so don't miss out. For each of the past five years this holiday has been 'Sold Out' so make sure that you are not disappointed and book as early as you possibly can - that way you'll get the best choice of accommodation and price. We'll see you there.

Elvis 75th Birthday Celebrations 2010 Memphis & Tupelo

Tuesday 5th - Tuesday 12th January 2010 From £1078 per person (sharing) Memphis & Tupelo + Las Vegas Extension
Tuesday 5th - Saturday 16th January 2010 From £1428 per person (sharing)

January 2010 heralds Elvis Presley’s 75th Birthday and, if the 70th birthday celebrations of 2005 were anything to go by, it’s going to be an occasion to remember for a long, long, time.

Unlike the August commemorative events, the Birthday Celebrations give fans the opportunity of visiting Memphis in relative peace and quiet – even on a major year such as this – at a time when it’s not too hot, or too crowded, and when airline and hotel rates are more reasonable, allowing us to offer a tour that’s not too demanding on your budget. It’s also a happy occasion (well, birthdays are aren’t they) and even tho’ Elvis is no longer here, we can still celebrate his life and all the pleasure that he brought the world.

Come and join us for what promises to be one of the best trips ever; a fun-filled visit to Memphis to see all the sights associated with Elvis, to have your picture taken by those famous Graceland gates and to tour the mansion home that he loved so much. You’ll visit, and have a tour of, Sun Studio where Elvis recording career started and where, many say, they can feel his spirit still there. You’ll have lots of time to explore the city that he made his own, to shop for souvenirs, take a stroll along the banks of ‘Ole Man River’– the mighty Mississippi, or have a night on the town in fabulous Beale Street, listening to the very music that so influenced Elvis. On Elvis’75 th Birthday we’ll stand proudly in the Graceland grounds to hear the city’s mayor proclaim it “Elvis Presley Day” before heading to Tupelo where this legend began. We’ll have a tour of what is probably the friendliest city in the USA, ending at Elvis’ Birthplace where we join in unity with fans from around the globe in celebrating the life of the world’s greatest entertainer.

After all this we fly home – or do we? Many, we’re sure, will opt for our exciting Las Vegas extension, the chance to stay in the fabulous Las Vegas Hilton, the very hotel that Elvis stayed at and performed in, to take in a performance of the new Cirque du Soleil Elvis Show, visit the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam and to try their luck in the lavish casinos of this glittering desert oasis.

Whichever you choose you can be sure of a truly wonderful Elvis experience.
