Each year the Post Office Travel Money Winter Sun Report reveals the best-value destinations for winter sun.

This year has seen Africa top the charts – but with a surprising Asian capital sneaking into the top three, and many intriguing European picks.

Based on eight holiday costs including coffee, beer, cola, wine, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and a three-course dinner, but excluding flights and accommodation, here’s the Post Office’s top five spots for sunshine on a budget – plus some affordable spots in Europe for those wanting to stay closer to home.

Escape to the Cape

For the second year running, Cape Town takes top prize. With its dramatic landscapes, fine wineries and top-tier attractions, the city promises a varied break buoyed by temperate weather.

Prices have fallen 9.7 per cent since March with a three-course meal for two with wine costing £39.26. Our tips? Try pizza joint Borruso’s on Kenilworth Main Road for a ‘Dillon Special’ of bacon, ham and chicken for £7.84, or head to trendy suburb Woodstock for fish sliders and ceviche tacos at Pot Luck Club from £7.55.

Coffees average £1.76, or enjoy a bottle of beer from £1.86. Butter All Day, a buzzy joint in the city centre, is great for both.

Book it: British Airways Holidays offers seven nights’ B&B at The President Hotel, Sea Point, from £1,776pp including flights (britishairways.com).

Cheap in Kenya

Another spot for sun without splurging is Mombasa, Kenya’s oldest city. A glass of wine in this relaxed seaside resort costs £3.17, and a meal for two £42.78, including wine. Buzzy beach bar Char-Choma, on Mombasa beach, has visitors raving about its seafood and upbeat atmosphere.

Book it: Spend seven nights’ all-inclusive at the Voyager Beach Resort from £1,505pp, including flights (tui.co.uk).

Tokyo for less

Despite its reputation as expensive, Tokyo has muscled into third place. While not a traditional ‘winter sun’ destination, the city gets 520 hours of sunshine in the colder months, making sampling the city’s myriad delights all the more pleasant.

A three-course meal for two here totals £48.50, with Michelin-starred joints such as Nakiryu, in Otsuka, even included in this category, where steaming bowls of shoryu ramen are priced from £6.72.

Whether you’re into matcha or coffee, sampling Tokyo’s caffeinated offerings is also an affordable venture, with prices from £2.33. Make like Tokyoites and head for Onibus Coffee in chichi neighbourhood Nakameguro, or Fuglen in Shibuya.

Book it: Spend four nights in Tokyo at the Shiba Park Hotel from £1,132.50pp, including flights (britishairways.com).

A bottle of beer in Sri Lanka costs £2.27 according to the latest report

Sri Lankan bargains

For those after a more traditional dose of beach bliss, Colombo in Sri Lanka offers an affordable break, with a barometer cost of £74.79 a day. A bottle of beer costs £2.27, while a bottle of water is 66p.

Book it: Stay in Colombo’s five-star Mandarina Hotel from £63 a night in January (mandarinacolombo.com). Return flights to Colombo from £741 (britishairways.com). 

Tempting Thailand

Thailand’s lively island Phuket similarly fits the bill – start the party with a bottle of beer for an average of £2.09. A three-course evening meal for two with house wine comes to £51.30.

What about the rest?

Portugal’s Algarve was sixth cheapest in this year, with a barometer cost of £82.35 a day. Putting in a similarly strong performance were Spain’s popular Costa del Sol, where a cup of coffee is just £1.75, and Tenerife in the Canary Islands, with a barometer cost of £87.62. Penang, Malaysia and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic rounded out the top ten.

Pierce Charles saved a penalty and his brother Shea Charles scored the winner as Northern Ireland beat Georgia 1-0 in their Nations League clash in Tbilisi

Brothers Pierce and Shea Charles shared a memorable post-match celebration after playing pivotal roles in Northern Ireland’s historic first Nations League away victory.

Pierce saved Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s 65th-minute penalty before Shea dramatically sealed a 1-0 win over Georgia with virtually the final kick of the match, nine minutes into added time in Tbilisi.

Pierce produced a series of outstanding stops throughout the game, including a superb reflex save to deny Georges Mikautadze at close range early in the second half. Meanwhile, Shea commanded the midfield and, by his own admission, should have broken the deadlock earlier than he did in the Group B2 encounter.

While the brothers have shared plenty of special international moments before, this one surpassed them all.

“We’re just proud to make the family back home so happy,” Pierce said. “I’m happy for Shea as well but it was never in doubt, he performs like that in every game.”

Shea echoed his brother’s sentiments. When asked what it was like watching Pierce face Paris St Germain’s Ballon d’Or contender Kvaratskhelia, he said: “I always back Pierce.

“Patrick Kelly came up and said to me, ‘He’s going to save this’. Yeah, he’s done really well to save it and made a few other really good saves. It’s a credit to him for the win.”

For his part, Pierce brushed off the notion that facing a player of Kvaratskhelia’s calibre brought any added pressure. “There’s no pressure on me, so I back myself all day to save it,” the 21-year-old declared, currently on loan at QPR following his return to Manchester City.

“You do your research before the game and it has paid off.

“At the end of the day, it’s a penalty, all of them are from 12 yards. He’s a great player. I just focus on myself and I saved it.”

Pierce, still just 21, has established himself as first choice goalkeeper, but this represented his finest performance yet at international level as he helped Northern Ireland secure their first competitive away clean sheet since October 2024 – which coincidentally came on his debut against Belarus.

“It just shows far the team has come,” he reflected. “It’s a team achievement keeping a clean sheet, like scoring a goal. The team can be so happy.”

While Pierce earned the player of the match award, Shea could equally have claimed the accolade after dominating proceedings in the centre of the park, clearly brimming with confidence following his summer transfer to Fulham.

“The two boys were brilliant,” Michael O’Neill commented. “I thought Pierce played extremely well, not just his distribution but he makes a big save in the second half as well.

“But he gives you a great range of control because of his passing and everything around that. He gives the back three a lot of security because they know they can go back there.

“And I thought Shea and Ethan (Galbraith) were both brilliant in midfield. Shea was colossal. Not just on the ball, but I felt physically, his ability to step past people, the amount of times he was fouled and the referee for some reason didn’t want to produce a card despite the number of fouls on him.

“But I thought he was fabulous.”

The landmark is much-loved among locals and visitors

A historic landmark in a beautiful city has been named among a list of buildings that people “must see” in their lifetime. The Telegraph has revealed its list of 20 buildings across the world that you must visit in your lifetime and Ely’s historic cathedral is one of them.

Describing Ely Cathedral, The Telegraph said: “Rising above the frigid East Anglian fens, Ely’s greatest glory grew from catastrophe. In 1322 its Norman crossing tower collapsed.

“It was replaced with an oak octagon, lead-covered from above, luminous from below, which is unparalleled in any church in any nation. Unusually we know the names of the architect and carpenter who conceived and shaped this miracle: Alan of Walsingham and William Hurley.”

Ely is the second smallest city in England and its most famous attribute is the gorgeous cathedral. It is the third longest medieval cathedral in England, at 161m. It has several notable features that draw in visitors including the West Tower, its 14th-century Octagon Tower and its unique wooden lantern.

The West Tower was completed in 1189. It reaches 66m high and there are 288 steps up to the top. The 14th-century Octagon tower and its unique wooden lantern is considered one of the wonders of the medieval world, according to the cathedral’s website. It took 20 years to build and cost £2,406.

Thecathedral has raving reviews on Google, with 4.7 stars out of five among more than 7,000 reviews. One person said: “I’ve seen some of the finest cathedrals in the world and Ely is up there with the best of them. What a wonderful experience we had.”

Another visitor said it “fulfilled a lifelong ambition to visit this elephantine-looking place of worship”, adding that the cathedral “surpassed all my expectations”.

Meanwhile, someone else said: “Ely Cathedral is absolutely stunning. The architecture is breath-taking, especially the unique Octagon Tower and the spacious Lady Chapel. Inside, every detail feels majestic yet peaceful.”

Three services are held at the cathedral each day of the year for anyone to join. Visitors can tour the architecture, learn about its history and enjoy panoramic views by booking visitor tickets for £14. Children under the age of 16 can enter for free.

There are also options for tours of the Octagon Tower, Ground Floor or a West Tower experience.

The Uprising, a medieval drama directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Andrew Garfield, is set to hit cinemas this autumn. The film draws its inspiration from the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 in England.

The studio’s synopsis presents the uprising as a “rebellion against the tyranny of King Richard II”, with Garfield leading “an army of the people to face the king’s might in a fight for justice and survival”. Yet medieval accounts of the uprising describe the rebels as loyal to Richard.

The Anonimalle Chronicle, an anonymous 14th-century account written at St Mary’s Abbey in York by a probable eyewitness of the revolt, reported that the rebels had a watchword among themselves. The challenge was “with whom haldes [holds] yow?” – to which the appropriate reply was said to be: “Wyth kynge Richarde and wyth the trew communes [commoners].” Anyone who provided the wrong answer was said to have been put to death.

What, then, were the aims of the rebels portrayed in the film, and why were they seemingly so loyal to the king?

The aims of the rebels

The uprising of 1381 was in part caused by widespread discontent at government corruption. Richard succeeded to the throne in 1377 at just ten years old. His young reign was largely overseen by his uncle, John of Gaunt, and royal councillors.

The hundred years war (1337-1453) between England and France was going badly for the English cause, and the crown needed to raise money. It turned to a new form of taxation. The deeply unpopular “poll taxes” were raised three times in five years (1377, 1379 and 1381) – the last of which triggered the uprising.

Medieval chroniclers had little sympathy for the rebels. Yet even the Anonimalle Chronicle reported that it seemed the taxation “had not been properly or honestly collected, but had been raised from the poor people and not the rich to the great profit and advantage of the collectors”.

The rebels did not blame the king himself, but rather those around him who had misspent this money. This was a common political tactic in medieval England, whereby critics of the government blamed the king’s corrupt advisers.

During the parliament of Edward III’s reign in 1376, it had been claimed that various people “have in their hands without the king’s knowledge his wealth and treasure”.

Similar complaints were made in 1381. The Anonimalle Chronicle reported that the rebels said they had risen to save the king, “and to destroy traitors to him and the kingdom”.

The rebels had very specific targets in mind. They destroyed the Savoy Palace in London belonging to John of Gaunt, along with his household possessions. In his contemporary chronicle, Henry Knighton described how one rebel stole a fine piece of silver there – only to be thrown into the fire by other rebels who said “they were lovers of truth and justice, not robbers and thieves”.

The rebels besieged the Tower of London and managed to enter it. Among others, they seized and beheaded the archbishop of Canterbury, Simon Sudbury, who was also the chancellor of England, and Sir Robert Hales, the treasurer of England. Both men were held directly responsible for the poll taxes by the rebels.

Thomas Walsingham, a 14th-century monk of St Albans Abbey, questioned how the rebels managed to extract them from the tower. He claimed there were 600 men at arms and 600 archers garrisoned there – and accused them of cowardice, saying they were “inclined to appear more like the dead than the living” in allowing the rebels to take the officials.

When the king finally met the rebels at Mile End, the Anonimalle Chronicle reported that the rebels were said to have knelt before him, saying: “Welcome our lord king Richard, if it pleases you, and we will not have any other king but you.”

An end to serfdom

The rebels’ complaints went far beyond government corruption. They also wanted an end to all serfdom.

Serfs were forced to work the land for their lords and had many legal restrictions on their lives. Serfdom was seen as degrading and heavily resented by the peasantry.

Some of the demands of the rebels included that there should be no outlawry – a harsh legal penalty which meant anyone was technically allowed to kill an outlawed criminal. They also demanded that there should be no lords except the king himself; that the goods of the church be divided among the people of the parish; and that there should be no serfdom but that all men should be free.

They also targeted written records. The Anonimalle Chronicle reported that they “burnt all the register books and chancery remembrancers’ rolls” they found at Lambeth Palace. And they destroyed Temple Bar, including the “many muniments which the lawyers were keeping in custody”.

The young king Richard acceded to many of the rebels’ demands. Knighton described how the king granted a charter under his great seal “declaring that all men in the realm of England should be free”. After the suppression of the uprising, however, the charter was “quashed, annulled and adjudged worthless”.

The uprising was unsuccessful in many of the rebels’ aims. It was harshly suppressed and many of its leaders were tried and executed. Wat Tyler, a key leader of the revolt, was killed by William Walworth, the mayor of London, at Smithfield.

Yet the rebels had found their voice, one which resonated across England. The poll taxes were, after all, discontinued – and would not to be resurrected for centuries. Serfdom, already in decline, withered and died.

Tyson Fury has claimed the fight at the Principality Stadium is now in serious jeopardy and blamed Eddie Hearn

Tyson Fury’s blockbuster fight with Anthony Joshua could collapse in what would be a huge blow to Cardiff and the Principality Stadium.

The long-awaited Battle of Britain was only officially confirmed on Wednesday, with Fury and Joshua due to meet at the Principality Stadium on December 11 in what promised to be one of the biggest sporting events ever staged in Wales.

But just over 24 hours later, the fight has been thrown into chaos after Fury claimed Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn are now refusing to fight and a replacement bout is being looked at.

The dramatic developments have raised fresh doubts over whether the heavyweight showdown will actually go ahead in Cardiff, with a dispute over the involvement of UFC president Dana White could threaten the £150m blockbuster.

Respected boxing journalist Mike Coppinger of The Ring reports the fight could be called off because of “issues”, with a replacement fight involving Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia being considered.

Fury fighting unified cruiserweight champion David Benavidez is also said to be another option being discussed.

Then, overnight, Fury launched a furious attack on Joshua and Hearn in a series of videos posted on Instagram.

“Breaking news, AJ and Eddie are trying to pull out of the fight,” Fury said. “They’re saying they are not going to fight now.

“It’s mainly to do with Eddie Hearn’s ego. He’s making up a million different things.”

Fury then directly addressed Joshua, saying: “AJ, pull your finger out you little white-flagged, yellow-bellied coward.”

He also warned that Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh was now looking at alternatives.

“Now you’ve got Turki Alalshikh finding alternative real men who will fight at the drop of a hat,” Fury added.

In a second video, Fury again blamed Hearn’s dispute with White for putting the fight at risk.

“So Eddie Hearn’s ego is trying to cost us and all the boxing fans around the world, the fight the whole world has been waiting for over a decade,” he said.

“And it is all because Eddie doesn’t want someone in the building. It’s pathetic and childish.”

Hearn has insisted that White cannot be involved in the contest because of the terms of the contract signed by Joshua.

White, who runs Zuffa Boxing alongside Alalshikh, has been billed as the lead promoter for the showdown, with Wednesday’s official announcement stating that Alalshikh and White “will collaborate to promote this historic showdown”.

However, Hearn was not named in that announcement and has publicly maintained that White cannot be involved.

The dispute has now spilled into the open, with Alalshikh appearing to back White by posting a picture of the UFC boss smoking a cigar on social media.

Fury also posted a mocked-up fight poster featuring himself against Benavidez, appearing to hint at a possible replacement for Joshua.

The possibility of the Fury-Joshua fight disappearing from Cardiff would represent a huge blow to the Welsh capital, which only secured the contest after a lengthy battle over its location.

Hearn had initially pushed for Wembley Stadium, while the Saudi backers behind the fight had explored the possibility of staging it in New York.

But Cardiff’s Principality Stadium ultimately won the race, with its retractable roof and willingness to accommodate a late-night finish securing the event.

The fight is expected to have a ring walk around 2am to suit the American audience for its Netflix broadcast.

It was supposed to be a spectacular night for Cardiff, with tens of thousands of fans expected to descend on the Welsh capital for the first meeting between two of Britain’s biggest heavyweight stars.

Instead, the event has been plunged into uncertainty before the fighters have even faced each other at a press conference.

For Cardiff, the stakes are significant.

The Principality Stadium has previously hosted some of the biggest nights in British boxing, including Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight title fight against Carlos Takam and Joe Calzaghe’s famous fight against Mikkel Kessler in 2007.

But Fury against Joshua had promised to take things to another level, with the two most recognisable British heavyweights of their generation finally meeting after more than a decade of anticipation.

The contest is understood to be worth around £150m, with Fury and Joshua each expected to pocket around £75m.

The event will also have brought a huge international audience to Cardiff, while providing a major boost for the city’s hospitality sector.

Fury and Joshua are due to attend a pre-fight press conference in London on September 30.

At the weekend, I did my best to include the fullest range of eating out experiences possible.

Saturday morning took me to Newcastle University for a game of hockey. The post-match refreshments were tomato soup and a Greggs sandwich platter. Verdict: Soup perfectly acceptable, sandwiches okay, but I was hungry again half an hour later.

Saturday afternoon, and it was back down the A1 for nine holes of golf followed by a buffet tea at Masham Golf Club. Verdict: Absolutely splendid, with masses of different hot and cold options, salads, meats and fish, including a lovely salmon dish that melted in the mouth.

Onto Sunday, and it was a roast chicken dinner courtesy of my mam. Verdict: excellent, as always. Fluffy Yorkshire puds, tasty sage and onion stuffing, and masses of gravy.

Monday morning found me at Caffe Nero in Northallerton for coffee and a pastry (and to make use of the free Wi-Fi while my car was getting its MoT). Verdict: good service and I appreciated the offer to warm up my pain au chocolat.

MoT done, was I ready to retreat home and do some eating in? Not a bit of it. It was onwards to Thirsk to try out a relatively new café which a friend had mentioned was worth a visit.

Peaches Coffee House has been up and running on Millgate, almost in the corner of the Market Place, since February.

Millgate is choc-a-block with cafés, but has it reached saturation point? Not if Monday was anything to go by—all were busy with customers, many enjoying the September sunshine on a bustling market day.

Peaches certainly has kerb appeal, because it is so, well, peach, the vibrant colour-scheme standing out from the crowd.

Inside, I got a friendly greeting and sat myself down at the only free table.

At the time I called in (just after 11am) the menu offered various breakfast bowl options, with a plethora of different add-ins, plus flatbreads, bagels, sourdough and croissants, all with choices of a base (avocado, hummus, pesto, chutney, mustard, mayo or butter) and two toppings (five different cheeses, meats, spinach, roasted veg, red onions, sun dried tomatoes etc).

The main counter, meanwhile, offered up a mouth-watering selection of cakes, pastries and bagels.

After a run of meals with limited decision-making being required on my part, I was a bit overwhelmed by the choice. Would a pesto base work with pastrami? Would avocado sit well with feta and gherkins?

My powers of reason deserted me, so pretty much at random, I ordered a flatbread with hummus, mozzarella and roasted vegetables (£10.50) to be served hot, and a coffee. Perhaps not traditional late-morning fare but I reasoned that after an early start, it was near enough lunchtime.

The flatbread arrived after a short wait and, piping hot, it was served with fresh spinach and coleslaw. My random topping choices turned out okay—the melted mozzarella combined well with the roasted peppers, onions and courgette, while the generous covering of nutty hummus stopped the whole thing from becoming too dry.

Filling, but also quite light, it was truly delicious.

The cake counter called to me as I was leaving, and after a thorough examination of the various traybakes, I decided to stick with the theme of the place and got a peach muffin to take away.

Enjoyed later with a cuppa, the chunks of fruit added a lovely flavour to the plain sponge, while the drizzled icing managed not to detract from the sweetness of the peach.

The total bill came to £19, good value I thought, and the service was spot-on. Everyone got a friendly greeting as they arrived, and many people seemed to be on first name terms with the servers.

I hadn’t noticed a couple of crumbs on my table, but between my coffee arriving and my meal being delivered, the chap looking after me came over to give it an extra wipe clean. Many places might not have bothered.

Back out into busy market place, and it was time for the verdict: Peaches is most certainly bearing fruit for Thirsk‘s thriving café culture.

Change of use and Listed Building Consent is being sought for The George Hotel in Yorkersgate, Malton, which has been empty for a number of years.

The plans include the change of use of the building to include a pizza restaurant, licensed bar, takeaway, collection and food delivery.

The application, to North Yorkshire Council, by Ms Mariana Horea, co-owner of Da Elia Pizza & Restaurant in Malton.

Da Elia was recently shortlisted in the Best Restaurant/Food Business category in the UK Small Business Awards.

Originally set up as a food van the business moved to Castlegate in April 2024.

The restaurant has since introduced dine-in, takeaway, and delivery services.

The former George Hotel, a Grade II Listed building, is owned by the Fitzwilliam (Malton) Estate which has previously said it intended to undertake a number of works to the property prior to the start of a new lease.

Marketed by agents Fleurets as a ‘substantial three-storey mid terraced property’ the pub has been extended to the rear with a two storey and single storey sections of mixed construction.

Fleurets said: “The business is ideally suited to a variety of operational styles benefitting from its central location within the town and easy access from public car parks, bus and railway stations. Likely to be a wet focussed operation it has a lot of accommodation above that would be suited to hotel rooms or Air BnB accommodation.

“The ground floor is partly open plan with a “U” shaped bar in three areas all connected to a large servery to one side. Ladies & Gents customer toilets and a small domestic grade kitchen.

“On the first floor are four en-suite letting bedrooms. The second floor has three-bedroom private accommodation.

“In the basement there is a beer store with ground level access from the rear and three store rooms. The annex has three en-suite letting bedrooms accessed from a public car park. At the rear there is a small car park and garden area.”

Fleurets said: “The Landlord intends to undertake a number of works to the property prior to commencement of the lease. These include external repairs including an upgrade of the frontage and ensuring the property is compliant – gas, electricity, fire alarms, emergency lighting and asbestos management.”

Two objections have currently been received for the application which is expected to be decided at officer level.

Following the success of last year’s Malton Regency Ball, Malton Museum have organised two evenings of Georgian excellence, with proceeds going to the museum.

The weekend will commence on Friday, October 9, in the Milton Rooms with a sumptuous night of Regency music and dance.

Less formal than its city counterpart, a country ball gave people the opportunity to come together to dance and socialise in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Recreating the country ball experience, there will be live music from Ebor Quartet and dance expertise from Dance the Past’s Lottie Adcock.

Continuing the Regency experience, York House will host a soirée the following evening.

More intimate than a ball, a Regency soirée is an opportunity to socialise in an informal yet elegant setting. Ebor Quartet will once again provide music, and a light supper will be served, along with period games and entertainment.

Attendees needn’t be dance experts, as Lottie will be leading the steps in each of the dances, and, while Georgian costume is encouraged, it is not essential, in what promises to be two delightful evenings immersing yourself in the Regency era.

Local businesses have generously donated raffle prizes, which includes an afternoon tea for two at the Old Lodge, and two Town Tour tickets from Malton Museum; one of the main prizes includes a first edition of Frederica, a Regency novel by Georgette Heyer and signed by Sir Stephen Fry, whose favourite author is Heyer. Meanwhile, Kemps currently have a resplendent window display ahead of the local Regency events.

Malton Regency Ball organiser, Annette Mitchell, said: “Last year’s Malton Regency Country Ball was such enormous fun that we had to repeat the experience.

“Lottie and the string quartet are ready, and we are busy polishing the 50-plus candelabras, making new dresses, and practising our steps.

“This year, by request, we have extended the Regency revels to include an intimate Soirée the following night with supper and entertainment at York House. (A small Queen Anne Hunting Lodge). No dance experience necessary; all welcome to join in the Regency fun.”

Malton Museum Co-ordinator, Emily Moore, said: “This year’s Malton Regency Weekend is set to be a great one. Whether you are looking for something a bit more intimate like the Soirée or something on a larger scale in the Country Ball, it will be a weekend filled with elegant dancing, proper socialising and period fun.”

Carriages arrive at 7 pm and leave by 10.30 pm.

Tickets are available to purchase on the Malton Museum website, with a discount offered if both nights are purchased. Ticket holders will also receive a special discount at The Talbot Hotel if they seek accommodation.

For more information, call into Malton Museum or visit the website: https://www.maltonmuseum.co.uk/regency-weekend/

All proceeds support Malton Museum’s tireless work in caring for and sharing Ryedale’s past.
