Forget packing your suitcase for a fortnight in the sun – now you can get that holiday feeling in your lunch break.

World-renowned hypnotist Paul McKenna will be at Bluewater tomorrow (Tuesday) with the first ever Holiday Hypnosis service.

The aim is to give Britain’s workforce the chance to get the mojo-restoring feeling of a two-week holiday in just 20 minutes as they reluctantly recover from the Christmas festivities.

He will deliver bespoke one-on-one Holiday Hypnosis sessions in a sleek ‘hypno–pod’ at House of Fraser.

The legendary hypnotherapist and self-improvement coach will put shoppers and workers ‘under his spell’ before leaving them with that holiday feeling.

He has teamed up with Virgin Holidays to launch the experience just as most of us go back to work after the festive break – and start dreaming of our next overseas break.

McKenna said the experience would be as restorative as a dream holiday: “This is a truly pioneering experience and I’m so excited to be working with Virgin Holidays to help lift the nation’s post-Christmas blues.

“Together we’re going to help the great British public feel like they’ve been relaxing with loved ones in their dream holiday destination despite the freezing temperatures outside.

“The aim is to bring people round from the hypnosis so they feel as refreshed and revitalised as they do after a two week break. We’ll simulate the feeling you get when the brain releases endorphins, the natural feel-good hormones often associated with a holiday. It’s really a very exciting proposition.”

Mark Anderson, managing director at Virgin Holidays, said: “We know that the average British worker typically holds out until lunchtime on the first day back at work before they start dreaming of sunnier climes. Last year we saw a 32% increase in traffic to the site on the first day back at work after Christmas with peak browsing time at 12:43pm.”

The Holiday Hypnosis is at House of Fraser in Bluewater tomorrow between limited times only. It is by appointment only and slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Email appointments@virginholidays.com to enquire about booking an appointment.
