Stunning coastlines

The Isle of Wight is one of the UK’s most beautiful regions with stunning coastlines, cliffs and idyllic countryside. The island has always been a source of inspiration, from Dickens and Lewis Caroll to musicians and bands from all over the world, who have appeared at the famous Isle of Wight Festival. Family resorts such as Shanklin or Ventnor are perfect resorts for youth groups and visiting performers are always made to feel welcome.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.

Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.

We accept any group as long as they are used to performing together as an ensemble, even if only to their fellow students and parents. We always ask for a recent recording of your group and we have range of venues on offer that will welcome beginner groups as well as experienced ensembles.
