Excursions & Theatre Trips
An excursion to Oxford during the school week (Monday to Friday) is included in all courses of three weeks or more. There are no classes on the day of the excursion and no extra charge is made for travel to Oxford. The same deal can be offered to two-week students if the decision to go to Oxford is unanimous. We can organise further excursions at cost price according to interests, such as a trip to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford-on-Avon to see a Shakespeare performance. Theatre trips are also arranged in Bath, Bristol and Salisbury. A popular excursion is a combined visit to the prehistoric sites of Avebury and Stonehenge and the medieval city of Salisbury with its magnificent gothic Cathedral.Social & Cultural
On the first day we normally organise an informal get-together with new students in a local pub or café over lunch. There will generally be a school party during your stay where you can meet students from other classes and members of staff.There are many cafés as well as traditional and modern pubs, some of which put on live music - folk, jazz and rock etc. For those with more classical taste Bath and Bristol offer a full programme of concerts, ballet and opera. Both Bath and Bristol have first class theatres and the programmes are displayed on the school notice board.
Bath and the surrounding area are rich in places of cultural and historical interest. There are fine cathedrals and churches - Bath Abbey, Wells, Salisbury and Bristol Cathedrals, The Saxon Church, Bradford-on-Avon; castles, stately homes and historic houses; parks - Stourhead, Royal Victoria Park and Botanical Gardens, Bath; museums - American Museum and Museum of Costume; ancient monuments - The Roman Baths, Bath and the prehistoric stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury.
