Excursions

There are three full day excursions to Manchester, York and Blackpool. All of these cities have sights of cultural interest, as well as providing activities (including shopping) that international students will enjoy.

Manchester

As everyone knows, Manchester is the home of one of the world's most famous football teams - Manchester United!

York

york-excursionsYork is a city of historical interest with its famous cathedral - York Minster - and ancient cobbled streets crammed with antique shops and cafes. The modern shopping centre is always popular with our students. Our visit includes these sights, and others depending on the wishes of the group.

Blackpool

 
blackpool-excursionsBlackpool is one of Britain's most popular holiday resorts. For those who like the thrill of the ride the theme parks 'Blackpool Pleasure Beach' and 'Sandcastle Waterpark' are home to the UK's biggest indoor and outdoor roller-coasters. For those who like quieter attractions, there is the Sea Life Centre aquarium, the wax statues of famous celebrities at Madame Tussauds, or a walk along the famous promenade and pier.
