FIRST BOOKER

GAVIN HOWELL

Gavin Howell and his dad Bob have always shared a love of rugby and they hope to make special memories together on the 2025 British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia. 

Gavin, 54, became the first fan to book a 2025 Tour package after loving every second of his first trip away with the Lions in 2017.

The pair were devastated to miss out on the behind-closed-doors series in South Africa, so Howell ensured they would be the first names on the team sheet for Australia.

“I’ve always been a Lions nut and I was lucky enough to do my first Lions tour back in 2017,” Gavin said. “We did a two-test Tour with the Lions and I was so impressed with the organisation of the event.

“We had a fantastic time and my biggest regret was not going for the three-test Tour. It was miserable watching the decider back home in the pub. “So we are doing the three Tests for Australia, which is going to be brilliant.”

“It’s just lovely spending real quality time together,” he added. “He always asks if I’m sure I want to go away with an old boy like him, but we have terrific fun. “We’ve got so much in common, we love one another’s company and it’s just great to go away and share an experience like the Lions together.

“Because your tour is a single group, you’re on the coach together, you travel together, you fly together and you’re often sat close together,” he said.

“So we really got to know many of the tourists we went with to the extent that we met up with a few of them at Christmas.

“We went to their rugby club and watched their team play and we keep in touch, so you really do get to know people from all over the country.

“For us it was just brilliant, we made so many good friends on the tour, so we’re looking forward to making more friends and memories in Australia.”

Day Trip to Adelaide

Wednesday 30 July - Departs 9:30 AM / Returns 17:00 PM

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city.   Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen. 

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct.  You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list.  Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce.  Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
