Character and colour in one of the UK’s best seaside destinations

Brighton and Hove has a justifiable reputation for being one of the UK’s best seaside destinations. The city is full of character and colour, not to mention a thriving music and arts scene that’s just waiting to welcome our school music tour groups.

Alongside classic attractions like the Royal Pavilion with its iconic domes and minarets, Brighton Palace Pier and the famous Lanes shopping area, you can take a ride on world’s oldest working electric railway, enjoy a flight on British Airways i360 for spectacular panoramic views or just take a stroll along the beach and enjoy Fish and Chips at Harry Ramsden’s.

If you stay at the Youth Hostel, the South Downs will be right on your doorstep!

From churches, gardens, bandstands, chapels, cathedrals, and arts centres, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to performing venues, both indoor and outdoor.

How to Prepare Your Students for Concerts on Tour - Part 2

FAQs

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

Travelling by coach is the most economical and flexible way to tour. Be collected from your meeting point and arrive at your destination in comfort on air-conditioned, high specification coaches. Enjoy the freedom of your own vehicle whilst on tour and travel in comfort with reclining seats and toilet. More and more groups choose to fly. We can arrange your flights from your local airport as well as from London. Once you have arrived at your destination, we can provide transfers to your accommodation and local coach hire throughout your music tour.

We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.

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.
